LaunchNotes

MARKETING
Velocity5.0

LaunchNotes is automating the work around the product update, not the update itself.

product-communicationsai-draftingmcpdigestspublishing-controls
Current state
The releases build a single pipeline. Smart Draft consolidated AI drafting into one path that takes Jira tickets, Loom recordings, PRD files or raw prompts and returns a structured draft in a configured tone. The following release added templates, Confluence as a source, and an MCP server. Digests then gained scheduling, publishing controls gained per-admin precision, and the newest release adds CSV export for any dashboard chart. Secure Content extended page authentication to images, diagrams and attachments.
Where it's heading
Each release removes one step between a change existing somewhere and an announcement reaching subscribers: gathering source material, keeping tone consistent across authors, choosing channels, deciding cadence, controlling who can publish. Shipping an MCP server alongside Confluence integration says the intended input is increasingly an assistant with access to the team's systems rather than a person assembling context. The CSV export points the other way — toward proving the resulting communications worked.
Prediction
Expect the drafting path to keep absorbing sources and the MCP surface to widen, with more measurement features following the CSV export as customers start asking what their announcements actually achieved.

Recent moves

    Export Any Dashboard Chart to CSV, Plus a Roundup of Polish

    Any dashboard chart can now be exported to CSV, alongside polish across Smart Draft, roadmap, subscribers and feedback. It is the first entry in this window aimed at analysing outcomes rather than producing announcements.

    Digest Scheduling is Here

    Digests gain scheduling, so cadence is configured once instead of decided each time. It closes the last manual step in a delivery path the previous releases had already automated end to end.

    Feature Friday - July 3: Enhanced Publishing Controls

    Admins get finer control over who can publish announcements and roadmap items, plus visibility into who published what. Governance work that follows naturally once AI drafting made producing announcements cheap.

    Templates, Confluence and an MCP server land together

    ⚡ SPARK

    Three changes attacking the same problem: templates for consistent structure, Confluence as a source alongside Jira, and an MCP server. Together they make the drafting pipeline something an assistant can feed rather than something a person assembles by hand.

    Transparency and Alignment while Maintaining Privacy

    Secure Content extends the authentication protecting a private LaunchNotes page to every asset on it, so images, diagrams and attachments are no longer reachable by anyone with the file URL. A gap worth closing before customers put roadmap detail behind that page.

    Introducing Smart Draft: The New Unified Way to Draft Announcements

    ⚡ SPARK

    Smart Draft consolidates AI drafting into one path that accepts Jira tickets, Loom recordings, PRD files or rough prompts and returns a structured draft, with configured Tone and Voice applied so eight contributors produce one voice. It is the foundation every later release in this window extends.
