I’ll be honest this sounds like something that could be completely automated without AI. Wouldn’t a simple shell script accomplish this? Merge, push tag, deploy release with tag. I’m really not sure why AI is useful here at all but maybe I’m missing something?
I think the only main "benefit" here is auto-documentation. I have for example been pretty impressed when doing coding with Claude Code of how it creates the git commits.
I've just been testing it out having it create a whole application by itself so I can understand how well it works and what its limiations are with Sonnet 4. So far it is pretty impressive but also limited in context retention/retrieval.
