Hey Product Hunt community! πŸ‘‹ I'm JJ, the founder of Makelog, the changelog for modern software teams. Super excited to share what our team’s shipping today! πŸ‘‡ We're demoing our Makelog + GPT-3 integration, which lets you select issues from Linear or Jira, autogenerate an update, and share it with your stakeholders. This product is great for any software makers and PMs who view writing release notes as a chore πŸ˜„ and wish there were an easier way. We're so excited to apply GPT-3 to our mission of helping software teams practice continuous communication: the art of communicating what you ship, when it ships. We're planning to automate even more of the release communication workflow beyond just the writing part soon. We look forward to your feedback and sincerely appreciate the support!

Huge! Excited to see the GPT-3 features. How involved was the effort it to integrate it?
Jacob Hubbard
Hey @gomezinla ! Really happy to see you are excited about it. πŸ˜„ To answer your question, integrating with GPT-3 was easier than we initially expected. The way we already integrate with existing tools (pulling tickets from Linear, Jira, etc..), allows us to feed the GPT-3 model with valuable data. Personally, the UX with this flow is what excites me the most -- Filter, search, and select relevant tickets β†’ GPT-3 β†’ Written changelog post. All within the same editor. Always happy to hear any thoughts, thanks so much for the comment. πŸ˜€

@singh_ankur thank you! That would be amazing <3

πŸŽ‰ Congrats on the Product Hunt launch! πŸŽ‰ I'm really curious to see how the GPT-3 integration will make writing release notes easier. Could it be so easy that I can do it during my morning coffee? πŸ€” I guess I'll have to try it out to find out! πŸ€“
JJ Nguyen
@paolo_degiglio hehe, thank you Paolo! That's certainly the hope! We think of it as an accelerant that makes it easier to start writing updates. If you pair it with context you're already capturing in say, your Linear or Jira issues, it should definitely save most product folks a lot of time! Excited to see what you think!

Makelog has made managing engineering changelogs and updates a breeze. It offers a user-friendly interface for creating and tracking updates and a streamlined process for publishing changelogs. The product also integrates seamlessly with our existing tools like Linear, making it easy to incorporate into our workflow.
JJ Nguyen
@ankit_pansari1 wow thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you find the product useful, and can't wait to see how our GPT-3 integration might improve your workflow further!
StakePark Team
Super cool idea.
JJ Nguyen
@stakepark_xyz thank you so much! And best of luck on your upcoming launch!

Huge fan of Makelog -- been using it since July at Patch.tech. It creates a great sense of accountability to publish notes and literally takes two minutes. Can't wait to see if GPT takes that down to < 1 minute! The team is great too. They've shipped some feature requests I've had within days and I really appreciate that. Keep up the good work!
Briton Baker
@whelan_boyd Thank you:) We really appreciate your ideas and support! I'm excited for where we can take Makelog going forward, and I'll be aiming for that less than 1 minute publishing time haha.
Yannick Mathey
Interesting! Does it only capture the title of the ticket or does it also analyse the content of the commits to understand what has actually been done?
JJ Nguyen
@yannick_mthy thanks Yannick! It can take into account issue description too and does a decent job at it! We've tried it with GitHub PRs and gotten mixed results since, obviously, it depends on how good/contextful the commit messages are in the first place!
Jeff Anders
Eager to try the newest feature!
JJ Nguyen
@jhilmd right on Jeff!!!! Super excited to show it to you :-)

@heyumarkhan appreciate the kind words :-) best of luck on your upcoming launch!
Benjamin Hoffman
A long time coming! Excited to integrate Makelog into our product marketing stack!
JJ Nguyen
@benhoffman_ thanks Ben! We hope it'll help PMMs and PMs alike!
Carley Lake
This is a game-changer for PMs. Awesome work, Makelog team!
JJ Nguyen
@carley_lake thank you so much Carley! We agree! We've talked to soooo many PMs who've told us they wish product updates were less of a pain to do well.
Ashley Smith
Congrats on the launch! Excited to test out the Slack and Linear integrations for my little projects.
JJ Nguyen
@theunquietone awesome, thanks Ashley!
Claire Ha
Congratulations! Excited for what's to come πŸŽ‰πŸš€
JJ Nguyen
@clairetha thanks Claire! :-) be sure to join our waitlist to be the first to hear!!
Cam Burley
πŸ‘€ I'm pretty sure Makelog just hacked time and made it easier to share product updates
JJ Nguyen
@codecamcode hehe that's what we're going for, Cam! <3 thanks for checking us out!
Chun Jiang
It's amazing to see all the progress Makelog has made. Gonna start using Makelog to write release notes every week!
JJ Nguyen
@cj326my WOO! Thanks so much Chun!
Tim Annan
This is awesome! What a great application of GPT-3 & is guaranteed to be a huge timesaver for PMs. Since every PM/PMM has their own tone they use in release comms I'm curious if it can learn & apply based on the edits that I make over time to keep streamlining the process.

Congratulations on the launch, JJ and team! So exciting to see Makelog's evolution, looking AMAZING. Can't wait for more ✨
Wayne Pan
As a maker, publicizing all the amazing things that we and the team are building is the most unnatural part of the job. Not only is it a chore but writing compelling release notes is challenging. Can't wait to try this out!
JJ Nguyen
@waynep thank you so much, Wayne! So excited to see what you think!
Jeff Kao
Great release @juliejennifernguyen! Change management is a system that's already well incorporated into engineering workflow (version control like Git), so having an automated bridge (ChatGPT) between something that's engineering-readable to other stakeholders could be really powerful now that we have that technology: e.g. ``` GIT_SHA_1: "CSS changes for new dashboard experience" GIT_SHA_2: "Optimize JavaScript bundles for dashboard" ... ``` then translated by ChatGPT: "We've redesigned the dashboard experience for a better user-interface and have also optimized our dashboard-load times" No we've removed the PM/PMMs from the loop with an AI :) Looking forward to more releases!
JJ Nguyen
@jeff_kao thanks Jeff! Yeah we are also super excited (and pleasantly surprised) that the technology is finally there! For a while, we were worried that "AI" would result in more overhead/work for folks to have to correct weird outputs. But it's actually quite good and, for the most part, assuming somewhat decent context in your tickets to begin with, it does a great job getting you started!
