About Changelog Agents
Changelog Agents converts git commit histories into customer-facing release notes using a local AI model. It processes commits locally without sending code or data to the cloud, ensuring privacy and offline operation. Users run a CLI command against a repository, after which the AI groups commits into categories such as Features, Fixes, and Improvements. The generated notes are reviewed by the user before publication, allowing for manual edits or approval. The tool supports exporting changelogs in Markdown format and offers a self-hosted HTML widget for embedding on websites. It is designed for developers, open-source maintainers, and small teams who need automated yet controlled release documentation without cloud dependencies.
