- • Specify release type: Mention "Major release" or "Patch release" so AI tailors the release notes appropriately
- • Include user benefits: Mention user benefits (e.g., "Faster checkout", "Better performance") so AI emphasizes value
- • Request multiple formats: Ask "Give me short version (100 words), medium (300 words), and full (500 words)" to use in different places
- • For technical users: Mention "Target audience: Developers" if you want more technical release notes
- • Save as template: Reuse the release notes structure for future releases
