A GitHub AI Agent For Issues, Pull Requests And Release Notes

Your agent handles the work around the code. It writes good issues, keeps reviews from stalling and drafts release notes, and nothing merges or ships without you.

What Your Agent Does In GitHub

  • File Clear Issues From Bug Reports

    Paste a customer email or describe a screenshot. Your agent opens the issue in the right repository with steps to reproduce, what was expected and fitting labels.

  • Sort New Issues

    Your agent reads each new issue, adds type and priority labels, points out likely duplicates and drafts questions when details are missing. You decide what gets posted.

  • Track Pull Requests Awaiting Review

    See which pull requests are waiting on a reviewer, which have failing checks and which are approved, with a two-line summary of each change.

  • Draft Release Notes In Plain Words

    From the pull requests merged since your last release, your agent writes notes grouped into new features and fixes, in words customers understand. It publishes only when you say so.

Ask In Your Own Words

Type it in any project chat, or send it from your phone. Your agent works in GitHub for you, with your own login, and reports back in the thread.

  • Lisa says checkout freezes on Safari. Open an issue in the web repo with her steps.
  • Go through this week’s new issues and tell me which ones are duplicates.
  • Which pull requests have been waiting on review since Monday?
  • Draft release notes for everything merged since 2.4.
  • Remind Priya her review on the search pull request is still open.

Questions About GitHub And Your Agents

Which GitHub account should I connect?

Your own, for the repositories you work on. GitHub allows one person per login, so if your team shares the agent, have someone set up a machine account for it and add it only to the repositories it needs.

Will it touch other people’s projects?

No. It stays in your repositories and your organization’s. GitHub’s rules bar automated bulk activity and fake engagement, so your agent never stars, follows or opens issues on projects that aren’t yours.

Can it write code too?

Small fixes, yes, on a branch with a pull request for your review. Its main job here is the work around the code: issues, reviews and release notes. Merging always waits for you.

Does my agent see my GitHub password?

No. Your GitHub login stays in your Vault, a safe your agents can use but never read. You can remove an agent’s access, or disconnect GitHub, at any time in Settings.
