Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI changelog generator work?

ShipLog connects to your GitHub repo, reads your commits, pull requests, and release tags, then uses AI to generate clear, categorized changelog entries. It understands context — not just commit messages.

Is it really free?

Yes. ShipLog is free forever for public repos with unlimited changelog generation. Pro ($19/mo) adds private repos, team features, and API access.

What makes AI changelogs better than manual ones?

AI changelogs are consistent, complete, and instant. Manual changelogs take 30-60 min, miss changes, and vary by author. AI generates them in seconds with every commit accounted for.

Can I customize the AI output?

Absolutely. Choose categories (Added/Fixed/Improved/Removed), adjust tone and detail level, filter out noise (chore commits, dependency bumps), and export in Markdown or HTML.

Does ShipLog support GitLab or Bitbucket?

Currently GitHub only. GitLab support is coming Q2 2026, with Bitbucket following in Q3.

How does this compare to Release Drafter?

Release Drafter requires label management and generates basic lists. ShipLog uses AI to write human-friendly descriptions, categorize automatically, and provides a hosted changelog page and embeddable widget.
