ChangeDog AI-powered changelog platform

The Problem with Traditional Changelogs

Let's be honest: writing changelogs is tedious. You've just shipped a major feature, squashed bugs, and your team is ready to celebrate. But wait—someone needs to document all these changes in a user-friendly format. This usually means:

  • Manually reviewing dozens (or hundreds) of Git commits
  • Translating technical jargon into plain English
  • Formatting everything nicely with Markdown
  • Publishing to your website or changelog platform

This process can take hours—time that could be spent building features or talking to customers.

Introducing ChangeDog

ChangeDog is a Next.js SaaS platform that automatically generates changelogs from your Git commits using OpenAI's GPT-4. Here's how it works:

  • Connect your GitHub or GitLab repository via OAuth
  • Push code as you normally would—a webhook notifies ChangeDog
  • AI analyzes your commits and generates a draft changelog with a title, summary, and relevant emojis
  • Review and publish the changelog to your custom subdomain (e.g., yourapp.changedog.top)

Key Features

AI-Powered Generation

GPT-4 reads your commit messages and generates human-friendly changelogs. It identifies the key changes, groups related commits, and even suggests emojis to make your updates more engaging.

Embeddable Widget

Add a lightweight 5KB JavaScript widget to any website. Your users can see the latest updates and submit feedback without leaving your app. The widget supports dark/light mode and is fully customizable.

Feedback Collection

Users can submit bugs and feature requests directly through the widget. The AI automatically detects duplicates, and your team can triage feedback with a Kanban-style board (Open → Planned → In Progress → Shipped).

Weekly Digest Emails

Keep subscribers engaged with automated weekly digest emails. GPT-4 generates a TL;DR summary of the week's updates, complete with a catchy subject line.
