This is kind of a fundamental issue with release notes. They are broadcasting lots of information, and only a small amount of information is relevant to any particular user (at least in my experience).

If I had a technically capable human assistant, I would have them filter through release notes from a vendor and only give me the relevant information for APIs I use. Having them take care of the boring, menial task so I can focus on more important things seems like a no brainer. So it seems reasonable to me to have an AI do that for me as well.

I read a lot of release notes in my job and the idea that that is some kind of noticeable time sink that needs to be streamlined is bizarre to me. Just read the notes.

If your assistant is technical enough to know which parts apply to you and which do not, they likely don't need you to do the rest of the job either.

An LLM could do this by looking over the full codebase and release notes and do a shorter summary, bit probably at the cost of many tokens today.
