Action Summary

The AI Changelog Generator GitHub Action automates the creation of structured changelogs during release publishing by fetching commits and merged pull requests between tags, classifying changes based on conventional commit conventions, and generating a Markdown changelog using a language model (LLM). It solves the problem of manual changelog creation by automating the process, ensuring consistent and human-readable outputs. Key features include multi-language support, integration with multiple LLM providers, a fail-safe self-evaluation loop, and optional updates to a CHANGELOG.md file.

What’s Changed

Stop writing changelogs manually. AI Changelog Generator turns your GitHub releases into polished, structured changelogs automatically. Just publish a release, and this Action does the rest.

What it does

When you create a release, the Action:

  1. Fetches all commits and merged PRs since the previous tag
  2. Classifies them (breaking changes, features, fixes, docs, maintenance…)
  3. Sends the data to an LLM that writes a clean, human-readable changelog
  4. Publishes it as the release body — done

Why use it

  • Zero config to start — add 5 lines of YAML to your workflow, get a changelog
  • Free to run — works with Groq and Gemini free tiers, no LLM costs
  • 4 LLM providers with automatic fallback (Groq, Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI)
  • Self-evaluation — the LLM reviews its own output for hallucinations and missing breaking changes
  • 5 languages — English, Italian, French, Spanish, German
  • Fail-safe — if anything goes wrong, your release still publishes normally

Quick start

  • uses: AndreaBonn/ai-changelog-generator@v1 with: github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} llm_api_key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}

That’s it. Get a free API key from Groq, add it as a repository secret, and you’re done.
