# AI-powered release notes generation

Digital Product Release provides an AI-driven summarization feature that automatically generates release notes for your product and service releases. This capability streamlines the release note creation process, reducing manual effort and improving consistency.

## Key capabilities

Using AI to generate release notes gives you clear, well-structured release notes that are easy to share and update. It also reduces potential issues like delays, errors, and inconsistent messaging when you do it manually. Other key capabilities include:

-   **Automated generation using release scope**

    AI generates release notes based on release scope artifacts such as stories, defects, change records, incidents, and problems.

-   **Customizable output**

    The AI-generated release notes draft is ready for review and modification as needed.

-   **Flexible sharing**

    Share your published release notes via a link or download the PDF for offline use.

-   **Rich formatting**

    The release notes draft is displayed in rich text format, which enables multilingual output and the redaction of sensitive data.


## How it works

The release notes are generated using a Now Assist summarization skill called Generate Release Notes. This skill is available when the [ServiceNow Otto for IT Service Management \(ITSM\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/now-assist-for-it-service-management-itsm/now-assist-itsm.md) plugin is installed.

1.  When your release is in the readiness phase, select the option to generate release notes.
2.  The system creates a draft using AI summarization.
3.  Review and modify the draft as needed.
4.  Publish and share the release notes with your audience.

## What's included

The AI summarization feature pulls together details from your enhancements, features, incidents, change records, then drafts a set of release notes, which includes the following sections:

-   **Executive summary**

    This section provides a high-level overview of the release, highlighting major enhancements and defect fixes.

-   **Scope of work**

    This section provides details about new features, enhancements, and defect fixes included in the release, listed in subsections.
