Question 1

What is NoteshipAI?

Accepted Answer

NoteshipAI is an AI-powered developer tool that automatically generates professional changelogs and README files from GitHub commit history. Unlike tools that rely on commit message summaries, NoteshipAI reads the actual file-level diffs from each commit — understanding what code changed, not just what the developer wrote. It uses Anthropic's Claude to produce structured, human-readable release notes grouped by features, bug fixes, and improvements. NoteshipAI supports three output formats: GitHub Releases, Keep a Changelog, and Simple list. Tone can be set to user-friendly, technical, or marketing. Free accounts receive 30 starter credits with no credit card required.

Question 2

How does NoteshipAI generate changelogs?

Accepted Answer

Connect your GitHub account via OAuth, select a repository, and pick the commits you want included. NoteshipAI reads the file-level diffs from those commits and uses Anthropic's Claude to write grouped, human-readable release notes. The whole process takes under 30 seconds. Each changelog generation costs 3 credits. You can choose from three formats (GitHub Releases, Keep a Changelog, Simple list) and three tones (user-friendly, technical, marketing).

Question 3

What AI model powers NoteshipAI?

Accepted Answer

NoteshipAI is powered by Anthropic's Claude. Claude reads your commit diffs and infers meaningful, grouped release notes — distinguishing features, bug fixes, and maintenance changes automatically. Claude is used for both changelog generation and README generation.

Question 4

Is NoteshipAI free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free accounts receive 30 starter credits (one-time, no credit card required). Each changelog generation costs 3 credits and each README costs 7 credits. Pro accounts get 500 credits per month for $25/month with automatic monthly reset.

Question 5

Does NoteshipAI work with private GitHub repos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sign in with GitHub OAuth to access private repos. NoteshipAI requests read-only access and never stores your source code — only the generated changelog text is saved.

Question 6

What changelog formats does NoteshipAI support?

Accepted Answer

NoteshipAI supports three changelog formats: GitHub Release Notes (change overview, entries grouped by type with author attribution, contributors list, and a Full Changelog compare link), Keep a Changelog (the keepachangelog.com standard with Added/Changed/Deprecated/Removed/Fixed/Security sections), and Simple list (a plain bullet-point format). You can also choose the writing tone: user-friendly, technical, or marketing.

Question 7

Is NoteshipAI the same as Noteship?

Accepted Answer

No. NoteshipAI (noteshipai.com) is an AI-powered changelog and README generator for GitHub repositories — a web-based developer tool. It is completely unrelated to Noteship, which is a note-taking application for macOS. NoteshipAI is not a Mac app and has no connection to the Noteship notes app.

Question 8

How is NoteshipAI different from keepachangelog.com?

Accepted Answer

keepachangelog.com is a specification and reference website that defines a standard format for writing changelogs. It provides guidelines but no automation. NoteshipAI is the tool that automates this process: it connects to GitHub, reads your actual commit diffs, and generates a properly formatted changelog in the Keep a Changelog style (as well as GitHub Release Notes format) in seconds. If you want to follow the keepachangelog standard without writing entries by hand, NoteshipAI does it for you.
