What is AI-Powered Issue Summaries?

AI-Powered Issue Summaries automatically analyze an issue’s description and comments and display a clear, concise summary on the page.
Even when an issue has accumulated many updates and exchanges, you can easily understand the current situation at a glance.

Note
  • The feature is disabled by default, and AI integration does not occur while it is disabled.
  • To enable it, follow the steps below to configure it.
Click “✨ Summarize with AI” to display the summary.

Required External Services

The AI-Powered Issue Summaries feature uses APIs from external AI services.

You can use either of the following:

  • OpenAI API
  • Azure OpenAI Service

You need to prepare these APIs yourself. By registering the API information in My Redmine, the AI Assistant becomes available.

Supported Plans

  • Available on all My Redmine Global Edition plans
  • No additional cost
    (External AI service usage fees are charged directly by the provider.)

How to Set Up

Follow the steps below to configure the AI-Powered Issue Summaries (AI Assistant feature).

1. Open the AI Assistant settings in the Redmine administration screen

Administration > AI Assistant

2. Register the configuration information according to the AI service you use

Select the AI service you want to use.
The required configuration items differ depending on the selected AI service.

Select OpenAI or Azure OpenAI, then click Save.

When using OpenAI

Enter your OpenAI API key.

When using Azure OpenAI

Enter the required information: Azure OpenAI API key, Endpoint, and Deployment name.

We recommend using an OpenAI model equivalent to or higher than gpt-4o-mini.

3. Enable for Your Project

Saving the API key alone doesn’t enable the feature — you also need to enable it per project (it’s disabled by default).

Go to the project’s settings page → Modules → check AI Assistant, and click Save.
After enabling, the ✨ Summarize with AI button appears in that project’s issues.

How to Use

Click the “✨ Summarize with AI” button to have the AI analyze the issue content and generate a concise summary.

  • The summary is displayed at the top of the issue
  • It typically consists of a few lines
The summary appears at the top of the issue in a few lines.
Important
  • The summary generated by AI is not saved within the issue.
  • Navigating away or refreshing the page will remove it.
  • This ensures each summary always reflects the latest state — click the button whenever you need an up-to-date view.

Disabling

Disable for a Specific Project

In the project’s settings page → Modules, uncheck AI Assistant and click Save.

  • The ✨ Summarize with AI button disappears from issues in that project.
