1. Introduction

At Atlassian Team '25, one of the most awaited global events for IT, agile, and collaboration professionals, Atlassian took a monumental leap into the future of work. Held in Anaheim, California, this year’s conference introduced transformative updates centered on artificial intelligence (AI), collaboration tools, and enterprise strategy. The biggest highlight? At Team ’25 in Anaheim, Atlassian co-founder and CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes announced that the company’s AI solution, Rovo, is now open to all customers and also introduced Rovo Studio, a new app that allows users to build custom AI-powered agents using low-code or no-code tools.

In addition, Atlassian introduced Collections—tailored sets of applications. The Teamwork Collection includes Jira, Confluence, Guard and Loom, supported by AI agents focused on enhancing collaboration and the Strategy Collection helps business leaders connect daily operations with broader organizational goals.

Let’s dive into the key announcements and how Atlassian is enabling smarter, AI-driven collaboration for everyone—from start-ups to the enterprise.

2. Rovo: The Powered Work Assistant for Every Team

Rovo is Atlassian’s groundbreaking AI solution for enterprises, now generally available and crafted for the AI-driven future. Rovo isn’t just another chatbot. It integrates Rovo Search, Rovo Chat, and Rovo Agents, enabling users to find, learn, and act on knowledge faster than ever before.

2.1 Rovo Search:

Rovo Search connects with 50+ Atlassian and third-party tools (including Gmail, Notion, and OneDrive), eliminating data silos. It surfaces the most relevant information from your digital workspace, regardless of where it lives. Explore our integration services to seamlessly connect Atlassian tools with popular third-party platforms like Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, and more.

2.2 Rovo Chat:

This conversational AI enables deep interaction with organizational data. With features like Deep Research (coming soon), it offers synthesized insights for long-term planning and faster decisions.

Rovo Chat allows users to:

• Upload and analyze files
• Generate charts to visualize information
• Surface real-time, context-aware responses from the Teamwork Graph
• Use Deep Research (coming soon) to synthesize knowledge and explore high-level strategy
• Perform tasks directly from chat, saving hours of context-switching

2.3 Rovo Agents:

These AI teammates are AI-powered digital teammates designed to automate tasks, boost productivity, and reduce manual effort across Atlassian tools. These agents can perform specialized functions like facilitating brainstorming sessions, building workflows, and creating diagrams, freeing up teams to focus on high-value work. Whether you need to summarize content, track project updates, or generate reports, Rovo Agents work proactively within your workflows. Users can choose from pre-built agents or create custom ones using Rovo Studio’s low-code/no-code interface. With Rovo Agents, teams can scale operations, reduce errors, and make smarter decisions, bringing AI-driven efficiency into everyday work across departments.

2.4 One of the key announcements at Atlassian Team '25 was the introduction of Rovo Studio :

Atlassian also launched Rovo Studio, a low-code/no-code platform for creating custom AI-powered agents. Teams can automate repetitive tasks, build real-world object models, and create interactive dashboards—no developer needed. However, developers who wish to go deeper can use Forge to code advanced skills and interfaces.

From diagram creators to workflow builders, the possibilities with Rovo Studio are endless.

Rovo is now available for all Premium and Enterprise Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management customers, with Standard tier access coming soon.

3. Why Rovo Matters: Real-World Impact

According to Atlassian, over 1 million users are already interacting with AI across its platform every month. Rovo brings all this AI power into a unified experience:

• Accelerated workflows: From content discovery to task execution
• Reduced cognitive load: Seamless access to knowledge
• Increased decision-making speed: Tailored, data-driven insights

Atlassian’s belief is simple: Teams of all sizes, across all industries, deserve access to transformative technology. That’s why Rovo, once limited to early adopters, is now reaching the Fortune 500,000.

And with usage quotas for AI credits and Indexed Objects thoughtfully introduced across all plans, Atlassian ensures customers get measurable value while staying in control of their data and resources.
