Summary
You can draft announcements faster using AI in two ways: generate an announcement from a Loom video recording, or create a draft from pasted content like PRDs, Jira tickets, Git commits, or meeting transcripts. Both methods transform your existing material into structured, audience-ready drafts without writing from scratch.
Steps
To generate an announcement from a Loom video:
Navigate to Announcements and click the bottom arrow next to New draft.
Select Draft Announcement from Loom
Paste the URL of your Loom video
Click Generate
The AI will analyze the video and create a draft announcement based on the content
Review the generated content in the editor
Make any needed edits and publish

To create a draft from pasted content:
Navigate to Announcements and click the bottom arrow next to New draft
Select Create draft from pasted content
Paste your source content (Jira ticket, PRD, meeting notes, Git commits, etc.) into the input field
Optionally add a custom prompt to guide the tone or format (if no prompt is provided, AI uses a default that creates marketing-grade announcements)
Click Generate Announcement
Review the generated content in the editor
Make any needed edits and publish
To refine existing content in a draft:
Open your announcement draft in the editor
Select the text you want to improve (or leave cursor where you want to insert new content)
Click the AI Assistant icon (stars) in the editor toolbar
The selected text will automatically populate in the source content field
Add a custom prompt like "Make this simpler for a non-technical audience" or "Improve tone for enterprise users"
Click Generate
Review the output and click Insert AI output to add it to your draft
Notes & important info
The AI Assistant accepts up to 300,000 characters of input—enough for detailed documentation, full transcripts, or multiple technical specs
The more context you provide, the better the results. Include full descriptions, user impact details, and background information instead of brief bullet points
Rate limit: 60 generations or regenerations per minute
Available on Premium subscription plans
The AI Assistant works for both Announcements and Roadmap items
Source content you can use for pasted content:
GitLab/GitHub merge request or pull request descriptions
Git commit messages
Product requirement documents (PRDs)
Meeting transcripts or demo recordings
Jira or Linear tickets
Slack messages and internal notes
Product briefs or OKRs
Technical documentation or SQL queries
Optional custom prompts to improve pasted content results:
"Summarize these product changes and highlight the core user benefits"
"Write a changelog-style summary that highlights user impact"
"Change this technical writing into a descriptive summary at an eighth-grade reading level"
"Make this simpler for a non-technical audience"
"Make the following more concise using bullet points"
Troubleshooting
If markdown formatting (like headers
##or lists-) doesn't appear correctly, pressspaceimmediately after the markdown mark in the editor to register the formattingFor markdown styles like bold
**text**or italic_text_, replace the trailing mark to activate the stylingIf the AI generates content that doesn't match your needs, try adding a more specific prompt that defines the subject matter, tone, target audience, and desired output format
