The premise
A good PR description tells reviewers what changed, why, and how to verify. AI can convert a raw diff into that shape if you feed it the diff and your intent.
What AI does well here
- Summarize a diff into a what/why/how-to-test format.
- Spot files touched and group them by concern.
- Suggest screenshots or test steps a reviewer might want.
What AI cannot do
- Know the unwritten reasons behind a refactor.
- Vouch for correctness without your verification.
- Detect business or security implications you never mentioned.
