Show HN: Automating status updates using Git log and LLM

https://www.syncup.ai/automate-engineering-updates

Hi HN, I built a simple tool that summarizes your team’s git logs into a weekly update that teams can send to leaders, other teams, etc.

I hated writing the same update multiple times a week to everyone asking “what’s the status of X”

Copy your repo’s commit logs with git log —all —since=“1 week ago”, paste them, and get a well-formatted update.

Planning to add Github integration to further automate. Curious what folks think.

Love the meme generator

I'll have to write better commit messages, but I think this will become my go-to way to share my weekly product updates with other team members given how much time it will save. A slack integration would be cool longer term too

Yeah there's lots of tuning to do on the commit messages (like filtering out bots). I really believe by having access to git diffs and commit messages you can fully automate a standup.
