During its Team ’24 Europe conference, Atlassian announced the general availability of Rovo, an AI-powered tool that enables teams to unlock organisational knowledge at scale, less than six months after its introduction.
It was announced alongside a host of new AI capabilities across its product suite, empowering teams to unlock greater levels of productivity and collaboration. Atlassian also unveiled new features and a new look for its flagship product Jira that make it easier, more flexible, and powerful for all types of work.
Mike Cannon-Brookes, CEO and co-founder, Atlassian said, ‘Rovo is one of the most ambitious and important products we’ve ever built. I’m thrilled we can get it into our customers’ hands just five months after we first announced it in Las Vegas.
“Whether you’re a dev team building the next big thing, a marketing team creating your next big campaign, or a service agent helping your customers solve a really big problem, AI is going to transform the way your work gets done. It’s a huge opportunity for us, and most importantly, for our customers.”
Rovo: Unlocking organisational knowledge at scale
Powered by generative AI and the teamwork graph, Rovo seamlessly integrates into the Atlassian platform, and helps speed up work by making it easier to access the information teams need. Teams are already saving 1-2 hours of time per week on average, with 75% of beta users saying Rovo helps them get work done faster and 80% say Rovo helps them find the right information at the right time.
With the newly announced Rovo Search Connectors, Rovo Data Centre Connectors, and the Rovo Browser Extension, these teamwork graphs become even richer as they get access to more sources. The search connectors also provide more knowledge to Rovo Chat, helping teams get the answers they need without switching tabs. Teams globally are pulling Rovo Agents into workflows to get better outcomes, while simultaneously saving hours or even days.
AI-powered innovation across the Atlassian suite
To improve collaboration and empower teams, Atlassian infused AI into all its products under the Atlassian Intelligence umbrella. The newest in-product AI features help customers reduce friction for developers, promote better collaboration across all teams, and accelerate service delivery and incident management. The key highlights include:
Jira: The new AI capabilities automatically break down work items, generate tickets, and streamline project management.
Jira Service Management: The AI-powered agents now assist with incident management, resource allocation, and post-incident reviews.
Development Tools: AI assists developers with code generation, analysis, and pull request reviews, boosting velocity and code quality.
A refreshed Jira for all teams
Earlier this year, Atlassian announced the next evolution of Jira – a shared place for every team to align on goals and priorities, track and collaborate on work, and get the insights they need to build something incredible, together.
Team 24 Europe, Atlassian shared a refreshed and improved Jira experience to empower all teams to collaborate effectively and achieve ambitious goals. Now, Jira is bringing more flexibility to support any team’s work style, through a new customisable sidebar that simplifies navigation and brings AI-powered search front and centre. There are also new background colours, images, and card covers to take personalisation even further.
To better reflect Jira’s expanded user base to all teams, issues will no longer be the default name in Jira and teams can choose what to call their work (whether it’s “task” or “launch” or “issue”). Teams can also create custom project templates with pre-configured workflows, automations, permissions, and more, to scale their ways of working while remaining consistent.
