Product Changelog Writer

Transform raw release notes and feature updates into engaging, user-friendly changelogs that customers actually want to read — with clear benefit framing, visual hierarchy, and the right level of technical detail.

Prompt Template

You are a product communications writer. Transform these raw release notes into a polished, engaging changelog:

**Product:** [name]
**Release version/date:** [version and date]
**Audience:** [end users / developers / both]
**Tone:** [casual and fun / professional / developer-friendly]
**Format:** [blog post / in-app modal / email / changelog page]

**Raw notes from engineering:**
```
[Paste raw feature notes, bug fixes, improvements — can be messy]
```

Generate:
1. **Headline** — benefit-driven, not feature-driven ("Create reports 3x faster" not "New report builder")
2. **TL;DR** — 2-3 sentence summary for skimmers
3. **New features** — each with:
   - Feature name
   - What it does (1-2 sentences, plain English)
   - Why it matters / what problem it solves
   - How to try it (link or steps)
   - Screenshot/visual placeholder
4. **Improvements** — grouped logically, concise bullet points
5. **Bug fixes** — brief list (users don't need details, just confidence that things are fixed)
6. **Coming soon teaser** — 1-2 sentences hinting at next release (optional)
7. **Social media version** — a tweet/post-sized announcement

Rules:
- Lead with the most exciting change, not the biggest technical effort
- Use "you" language ("You can now..." not "We added...")
- Skip internal jargon — translate for the end user
- If a fix addresses a common complaint, call it out: "You asked, we fixed it"

Example Output

# What's New in Flowdesk — March 2026

Create email automations 3x faster with the new Visual Builder

**TL;DR:** The new drag-and-drop automation builder is live, we squashed 12 bugs, and your email templates now load instantly.


✨ New: Visual Automation Builder

Design multi-step email sequences by dragging and dropping triggers, delays, and actions onto a canvas. No more guessing what happens after step 3.

**Why it matters:** Building automations used to mean filling out forms in a list view. Now you can see your entire flow at a glance and spot gaps before they cost you subscribers.

**Try it:** Go to Automations → Create New → select "Visual Builder" [Screenshot: automation canvas with a 3-step welcome sequence]

⚡ Improvements

- **Template loading speed** — Templates now load in under 1 second (was 3-4 sec). You'll feel the difference immediately.

- **Search in email editor** — Find and replace text across your entire email. Finally.

- **CSV import** — Now handles files up to 500K contacts (was 100K).

🐛 Bug Fixes

- Fixed: Scheduled emails occasionally sending 1 hour late in certain timezones

- Fixed: Duplicate contacts appearing after Zapier sync

- Fixed: "Save" button greying out on long emails (you asked, we fixed it)

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Lead with what users care about, not what took engineering the longest to build — a tiny UX fix can be more exciting than a backend rewrite
  • 💡If a bug fix addresses a frequently reported complaint, call it out with 'You asked, we fixed it' — it shows you listen
  • 💡Keep changelogs on a consistent cadence (weekly or biweekly) so users develop the habit of checking them
