The generative announcement feature in LaunchNotes enables a Jira user to choose any Jira issue and utilize the LaunchNotes AI writer to automatically create a draft from that issue along with any child issues marked as done. The LaunchNotes AI writer can be configured by selecting up to five announcement issue fields, such as summary, description, and custom fields specified in the Jira project. It also has a customizable tone, length, and target audience, all of which can be set using the announcement prompt. The draft is then pushed to LaunchNotes, simplifying the process of collecting source material and creating product update announcements.

For information on how to configure issue fields and the announcement prompt read the following article:

This article will cover the following:

In order to generate an announcement select any issue within Jira you are interested in generating an announcement from. This could range from broad epics to specific bugs.

This will open the editor, from here click on the LaunchNotes button.

Click on Generate announcement.

Wait for the announcement to generate.

Once the announcement is successfully generated, the message Announcement Draft Generated will appear in Jira, displaying only an excerpt of the announcement. To view the entire generated announcement, click Open in LaunchNotes. If you wish to modify the tone, length, target audience, etc. of the generated announcement you can do so in the announcement prompt settings.

Click Continue.

You will now have access to your generated announcement inside of the LaunchNotes announcement editor. Here, you can review and make further edits, as well as configure the settings for your announcement before publishing.

From the announcement editor we also give users the ability to import Jira issues and post to confluence. For more information on these integrations visit:

The integration will only extend one level down for parent-child relationships in Jira. This means an Epic can have child Epics, but it should not be expected that the child Epics' children will be retrieved. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the issue type. Users could have a custom issue type with children of a different type.

You can change the prompt and announcement generations fields in the project settings for the LaunchNotes app.

No, it will create a new draft announcement each time. Any unwanted announcement drafts can be archived.

No, not at this time.

LaunchNotes doesn't use your prompts and continuations to train any models or distribute them to third parties. All the data passed to the model is housed within our own infrastructure.
