Introduction
What is GitHub?
GitHub is a platform for version control and collaboration, enabling developers to store, manage, and track changes to their code. It supports both public and private repositories and integrates with various tools to streamline the software development lifecycle. Ideal for teams looking to manage code repositories efficiently.
What is CogniVis AI?
CogniVis AI is a platform that enables you to pull data from different
sources and combine them with each other to
create practically useful AI tools. Sources may include
your internal company knowledgebase and a variety of
most popular business apps like GitHub, Jira, Slack,
and more.
This enables you to easily create
AI chatbot assistants (internal),
custom generators and even
embeddable AI chat widgets trained on your data.
How CogniVis AI works with GitHub?
CogniVis AI retrieves all Pull Requests and Issues from a GitHub repository. It then processes the text data to generate insights, reports, and summaries.
What exact sources are pulled:
- Pull Requests (both Open & Closed)
- PR title
- PR summary text
- PR URL
- PR State (Open / Closed)
- PR last update date
- If the PR was merged or not
- Issues (both Open & Closed)
- Issue title
- Issue content text
- Issue update date
- Issue URL
