What is Herald

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

Herald is an AI-powered changelog tool for developer teams. It connects to your GitHub repos, reads merged pull requests, and uses AI to draft human-readable changelog entries. You review, edit if needed, and publish — to a hosted page, an embeddable in-app widget, and email subscribers.

How it works

  1. Connect GitHub
  2. Herald reads your merged PRs
  3. Review AI draft, publish

What Herald publishes to

  • Hosted changelog page (herald.app/your-product or custom domain)
  • Embeddable JS widget
  • Email subscribers

Who it's for

Developer teams building SaaS products who want to keep users informed without manual changelog writing.

What Herald is not

Not a feedback board, not a project management tool, not a roadmap tool — just changelogs done well.
