GitHub AI Agent that automates open pull requests, issues and release notes
Work & productivity github.com
A GitHub Agent for teams who use github.com to review code, track issues, and publish releases. It runs in a private browser, reads your repo pages, and returns concise reports and a screenshot so you can act faster and keep an audit trail.
What a GitHub agent does
The jobs people usually do here by hand. Tap one in the app and it becomes a plan.
- List open pull requests waiting on review and for how long.
- Summarise new issues opened this week and group them.
- Write release notes from the commits since the last tag.
Anything else you would do in this site by hand can be described in your own words: the planner turns it into a plan you approve before it runs.
What people use it for
List open pull requests waiting on review
Run the agent to produce a single list of open pull requests across selected repos, show who it is waiting on, and how long each PR has been waiting. The report links to each PR and includes a screenshot of the inbox or PR list on GitHub.
Summarise new issues opened this week
Have the agent summarise issues opened in the past seven days, group them by label or area, and surface the highest-volume or highest-severity groups so triage meetings focus on what matters. The summary is short, linked, and dated.
Write release notes from commits since last tag
Tell the agent which tag or branch to use and it will gather commits and merged PRs since the previous tag, draft release notes in markdown, and include contributor names and commit highlights ready to paste into GitHub Releases.
Why it is worth it
- Runs inside a private Chrome browser you sign into once; Katteb never sees your password.
- Produces an auditable report with a screenshot showing the exact GitHub pages it read.
- Schedules daily or weekly runs and charges only for the work actually used.
- Reduces time to triage and write releases by extracting and organizing repository data.
Questions people ask
How does the agent access my GitHub data?
The agent runs inside a private Chrome browser on Katteb’s servers. You sign in to GitHub once by hand; Katteb does not receive or store your password and the agent stops if a page requests additional authentication.
Can the agent open or merge pull requests on my behalf?
No. The agent clicks, reads, and screenshots like a person in your browser but it will not bypass pages that request credentials. It can draft messages or release notes for you to copy, but you must perform sensitive actions yourself in GitHub.
Is running the agent likely to trigger rate limits or account restrictions?
Automated activity inside a third-party account can increase the risk of restriction. Katteb reports the exact pages it visited and recommends limiting run frequency on accounts with strict automation policies.
