# Automate with AI

> Let AI draft announcements when features are ready to release

<Note>
  AI-powered announcements are coming soon and will be available on all plans.
</Note>

Never miss announcing a feature again. When features move to "Releasing" status, AI automatically drafts a polished announcement based on your feature details and customer insights.

## How It Works

### Automatic Trigger

When a feature enters **Releasing** status:

1. AI analyzes the feature and linked insights
2. Drafts a compelling announcement
3. Saves as draft for your review
4. Notifies you to review and publish

### AI-Generated Content

The announcement includes:

* Engaging title based on feature name
* Customer-focused benefits
* Key improvements and changes
* Quotes from linked insights
* Appropriate category assignment

## Enabling Auto-Draft

### Global Settings

1. Navigate to **Account** → **Settings**
2. Click **Announcements** → **AI Automation**
3. Toggle **Auto-draft on Releasing**
4. Configure preferences

### Per-Feature Control

* Disable for specific features
* Add "no-announce" tag
* Or toggle in feature settings

<Info>
  AI drafts require approval before publishing. You maintain full control over what goes live.

## Review Process

### Draft Notification

When AI creates a draft:

1. Email notification sent
2. Draft appears in announcements
3. Marked as "AI Generated"
4. Ready for your review

### Editing AI Drafts

* Edit any part of the content
* Regenerate specific sections
* Add images and screenshots
* Adjust tone and length

### Publishing

* Review carefully
* Add finishing touches
* Schedule or publish immediately
* AI learns from your edits
