Atlassian: ROVOlution of the AI

Rovo is your versatile AI colleague for the entire Atlassian software suite. Whether Jira, Confluence, Slack etc., Rovo actively supports you in your teamwork. It helps you to find the right information, understand it better and supports you with numerous measures. Sounds great? Yes, but unfortunately Rovo was behind a paywall ... until now.

Since April 9, 2025, Rovo has gradually been activated free of charge for all Atlassian users! In the first step, existing Rovo contracts will no longer be charged. Anyone who had an AI-enabled Enterprise plan for Jira, JSM, Confluence and the Teamwork Collection but had not booked the feature itself will receive the AI colleague free of charge. The standard plans will also soon receive Rovo free of charge, but an exact date for this is unfortunately not yet known.

What can the AI assistant Rovo do?

Rovo is not a single tool, but an entire AI suite. From the intelligent assistant Rovo Chat to Rovo Search and numerous agents, the software offers a wide range of supporting, clever functions:

Rovo Chat

Rovo Chat is an intelligent assistant that finds answers across systems and can trigger actions directly from the chat. This includes, for example, creating Jira work items or sending a post on Slack. Rovo Chat supports voice and file uploads and is available on desktop and mobile.

Future features:

• Deep Research is an AI feature in Rovo that can perform comprehensive, multi-level research using data from the web, your Atlassian apps, and connected SaaS apps. You will be able to independently search for and read information from various online sources. This enables, for example, the creation of well-documented and clearly cited reports on complex topics.

• Data Analysis & Visualization: Rovo Chat will be able to perform data analysis and visualization based on tables, databases in Confluence or uploaded spreadsheets. This feature will improve data management and understanding immensely.
  

Rovo Search

Rovo Search links data from Atlassian tools and third-party SaaS applications supported by the Teamwork Graph. It delivers relevant, contextualized results - not just keyword hits!

Smart links, unified search across your tool chain and follow-up suggestions mean teams spend less time searching for information and more time processing it.

This means faster decision making, fewer information silos and less reliance on manual knowledge sharing.

Rovo Studio

Rovo Studio enables developers and power users to create AI agents, automations and applications with low-code/no-code tools - all within the Atlassian ecosystem. Whether you're a developer, administrator or non-technical colleague, you can use Studio to create your own agents that meet specific requirements and deliver fast results.

Rovo Agents

Rovo Agents are AI helpers that automate tasks and optimize complex processes. They are seamlessly integrated into Atlassian's cloud tools and are ready to use out of the box. Alternatively, they can be created in Rovo Studio, e.g. based on an existing agent. They work in real time and can be configured by team members to incorporate additional knowledge or perform additional actions.

Structure and approach of agents:

• Defined goals - defined instructions are run through to achieve them

• Access existing knowledge, perform actions and interact with other agents through automation.

• Can act in different contexts inside and outside of Atlassian applications
