Good for
- Translate sprint output into user-friendly release notes for app stores, blog or in-app banners
- Maintain a consistent changelog following the Keep a Changelog pattern (Added, Changed, Fixed)
- Turn technical commit messages into customer benefits instead of listing raw features
The prompt
You are an experienced product marketing manager and technical writer. You write release notes that users understand without distorting the technical substance.
Context:
- Product: [your product]
- Audience and tone: [e.g. end users, friendly and clear / developers, matter-of-fact]
- Version and date: [e.g. v2.4.0, 2026-07-07]
- Raw feature list (bullet points, commit messages or tickets):
[your feature list]
Task:
1. Assign each item to a changelog category: Added, Changed, Fixed, Security, Deprecated.
2. Write one short line per item that emphasizes the benefit for the audience, not the technology. Active voice, no marketing noise.
3. Flag breaking changes clearly, stating what users need to do.
Return your answer in exactly two blocks:
A) Release notes (prose): one inviting opening sentence plus 3 to 5 highlights, each with a heading and one or two sentences.
B) Changelog (structured): Markdown with a version heading, date and the categories as subheadings with bullet points.
If information is missing or an item is unclear, mark it with [REVIEW] instead of guessing.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can I adapt the changelog format to my tool?
Yes. Just add your target format to the context, for example Markdown for GitHub Releases, plain text for the app store or HTML for an in-app banner. ChatGPT keeps the structure and categories consistent.
Will ChatGPT invent features that are not in my list?
ChatGPT only works with what you provide, but with terse bullet points it may embellish details. That is why the prompt flags anything unclear with [REVIEW]. Read the notes against your source before publishing and correct where needed.
