Use ChatGPT to turn changelogs into product updates

You know the drill. 

Dev team drops a changelog that looks like hieroglyphics. Your inbox is waiting for updates. The blog needs fresh content. Social needs something to post.

But raw changelogs are brutal:

• Technical jargon everywhere

• Inconsistent formatting

• Zero consideration for end users

• Mixed up priorities

Writing from scratch takes forever. And keeping your tone consistent across emails, blogs, and social is a whole other headache.

Here's how to fix it:

Step 1 — Turn chaos into clarity

Use this prompt:

You are a product marketing writer. Based on the changelog below, draft a clear product update announcement.
Include:
- A short headline
- 1-2 sentence intro
- 3-5 bullet points of key changes (in plain English)
- Optional section for power users with more detail

Match our tone of voice: [brief description, e.g. friendly and clear, confident and sharp]

Here's the changelog: [PASTE RAW CHANGELOG]

Step 2 — Format for different channels

Once you have your base announcement, get versions for every channel by using this prompt:

Take the product update above and rewrite it for:
1. Short email blurb (2-3 sentences max)
2. Social media caption (engaging, under 100 words)
3. Full blog post version (add context and examples)

Now you've got one changelog turned into content for every channel you need.

Let AI handle the messy translation work. You focus on launch strategy, not formatting updates.

Happy prompting!
