Short answer

How can I get release reports from ZenHub using AI?

Your AI uses ZenHub tools to pull specific release data and repository board information. It then synthesizes this metadata into clear progress reports. You get a direct view of your repository's health without manual data exports.

Where every report lands.

The outcomes of your request.

Depending on what you ask, your AI delivers these specific results.

DATA

Clean release summaries

The AI pulls raw release data and turns it into a readable summary of what was shipped and what's pending.

STATUS

Repository health checks

By looking at board data, your agent identifies bottlenecks or stalled issues in your current sprint.

INSIGHT

Progress trends

Your AI compares current metadata against previous releases to show if your velocity is increasing or dropping.

    Yes, if you specify the timeframe in your prompt, the AI will use the release data to filter the results.
