About Buoylog
Buoylog automates the creation of changelogs by processing merged GitHub pull requests. It uses AI to categorize changes as New, Improved, or Fixed and rewrites them in plain language. The tool generates release notes and publishes them on a hosted changelog page. Users can review drafts before publishing, which then appear instantly on the hosted page and in email or Slack notifications. The process integrates seamlessly with existing GitHub workflows without requiring changes to development practices. Release notes can be customized with visibility settings, custom domains, and branding options. The platform also supports Slack or Discord auto-posting and email subscriber notifications.
