What it does

GitHub, GitLab & Bitbucket — one interface

Connect GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repos in the same account. OAuth flows, token refresh, and webhook verification are handled for you.

Intelligent commit filtering

Version bumps, merge commits, and CI changes are filtered before the LLM sees them. PR titles are preferred over raw commit messages when available.

Handles large commit ranges reliably

Commits are chunked and processed in parallel, then merged into a single coherent output. Reliable with hundreds of commits in a range.

CI/CD pipeline integration via REST API

Automate release notes generation from any CI/CD pipeline using the public REST API. Start with 5 free credits — no subscriptions, no surprises.

Frequently asked questions

What is WhatShipped?
WhatShipped is an AI-powered tool that generates professional release notes from your git commits. Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository, pick a commit range, and get structured Markdown notes in seconds.
Which platforms are supported?
GitHub, GitLab (including self-hosted instances), and Bitbucket are fully supported. You can connect multiple repositories from different providers in the same account.
How does the credit system work?
Each release notes generation costs 1 credit. You start with 5 free credits on sign-up — no credit card required. Additional credits can be purchased in bundles as needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation required. WhatShipped is fully web-based. For GitHub you'll authorize via the GitHub App; for GitLab and Bitbucket you'll connect via OAuth. Everything runs in your browser.
Which AI model generates the notes?
You choose the AI provider per generation: Anthropic Claude or OpenAI. WhatShipped sends only commit messages and PR/MR titles to the model — your actual source code is never shared.
Can I automate WhatShipped in my CI/CD pipeline?
Yes. WhatShipped exposes a public REST API so you can trigger generation from any CI/CD pipeline. API keys are managed from the dashboard. Full documentation is available in the API docs.
How large a commit range can I process?
There's no hard limit. WhatShipped automatically chunks large ranges (~100 commits per batch) and runs parallel LLM calls, then merges the results into a single coherent document.
Can I download or export the release notes?
Yes. Every generated document can be downloaded as a .md file directly from the dashboard.
