How to Build an AI Agent to Automate Release Notes (Azure DevOps → Confluence, Google ADK + MCP)

A tutorial detailing the construction of an AI agent designed to automate the generation of release notes. The process involves connecting Azure DevOps, where user stories are managed, to Confluence, which serves as the documentation platform. Implementation utilizes Google ADK alongside Azure DevOps MCP and Atlassian MCP to establish this direct toolchain integration. The described automation framework aims to eliminate manual effort required for documentation tasks associated with software releases.

This method focuses on practical application within DevOps automation, specifically addressing the creation of release documentation from development activity data. While the example shown uses specific product management and documentation tools, the underlying methodology for building an AI agent for automated documentation updates can be adapted for platforms such as Jira or GitHub Issues.

The presentation guides users through the setup, agent walkthrough, and a live demonstration of the functional automation system.
