+### Unit Test Generation, Early Access
+
+We're excited to announce our new unit test generation feature, for early access! CodeRabbit can now automatically generate unit tests for your code changes.
+
+Key capabilities:
+
+- **Intelligent Test Generation**: Automatically creates unit tests that cover edge cases, error scenarios, and core functionality
+- **Context-Aware**: Generates tests that understand your existing codebase patterns and testing conventions
+- **One-Click Integration**: Simply comment `@coderabbitai auto-generate unit tests` on any pull request or specific file, or click on the checkbox available in the walkthrough comment for Early Access customers.
+
+The generated tests can be easily customized to fit your specific requirements.

+
+Unit Test Generation is an Early Access Experimental feature.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once you are done with your pull request and its reviews, you may want to perform finishing touches to your code, such as adding unit tests. You can request CodeRabbit to generate unit tests by typing `@coderabbitai auto-generate unit tests` in a comment under that pull request or by clicking a checkbox under `🧪 Generate Unit Tests` in the CodeRabbit Walkthrough.
+
+Once sent, CodeRabbit will perform the following actions:
+
+- The CodeRabbit agent will examine your code for places where it needs tests
+- Unit tests will be generated for the PR, in a separate PR, in the same PR in a new commit, or in a comment to copy-paste, depending on your choice
+- If (and only if) you choose to generate the unit tests in a separate PR, CodeRabbit will examine your GitHub checks (build steps and tests and such) and adjust the PR to deal with build failures, test failures and similar.
+
+## Path Instructions
+
+You can customize the generated unit tests by providing instructions based on file paths in your `.coderabbit.yaml`. The `path` is a [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) pattern.
+
+```yaml
+code_generation:
+unit_tests:
+path_instructions:
+ - path: "**/*.ts"
+instructions: |
+ Use vitest for testing framework.
+ Generate comprehensive test cases including edge cases and error conditions.
+ Do not omit the imports; the test file must be valid.
+```
+
+## Supported software forges
+
+These software forges are supported:
+
+- GitHub
+
+We are working on GitLab and Azure DevOps support as of writing.
