Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our GitHub PR summarizer

How does the GitHub PR summarizer work?

DigestAI fetches the PR description, commit messages, file changes overview, and review comments. Our AI then analyzes this information to generate a comprehensive summary of what the PR does, why it was made, and its current status.

Does it work with private repositories?

Currently, DigestAI works with public GitHub repositories. For private repos, we're working on GitHub OAuth integration. In the meantime, you can copy and paste PR descriptions for summarization.

Can I summarize GitHub Issues too?

Yes! DigestAI works with both Pull Requests and Issues. For issues, it summarizes the problem description, reproduction steps, and discussion thread.

Does it analyze the actual code?

DigestAI provides a high-level overview of file changes and can identify the types of modifications made. For detailed code review, we recommend using it alongside your normal review process.

Is the GitHub summarizer free?

Yes! DigestAI offers a free plan with 5 summaries per month. For unlimited GitHub PR summarization, upgrade to our Pro plan at $9/month.

Which AI models are best for code-related content?

For GitHub PRs and code-related content, we recommend using Claude or GPT-4 as they have strong code understanding capabilities. You can select your preferred model before generating a summary.

Can DigestAI generate release notes from merged PRs?

While DigestAI focuses on individual PR summarization, you can summarize multiple merged PRs and use the outputs to quickly draft release notes. We're building a dedicated changelog generation feature for future releases.
