ChatGPT can't choose a branch or pipeline, so it can't deploy an unlinked branch or bypass your rules. You can also ask what's been deployed recently, check a deployment's status, and draft customer-facing release notes from what shipped, then preview and publish them to your release-notes feed.\n\nRequires a BranchDeploy account and the BranchDeploy extension for Azure DevOps Services (dev.azure.com).",
