At the Team '24 Europe event in Barcelona today, Atlassian introduced Rovo AI, its AI-powered teammate, to the public. Atlassian customers can leverage Rovo AI to enhance functionality, utilizing its advanced AI-powered search and chat capabilities and automation tools to boost productivity in applications like Jira and Confluence. Integrating Rovo AI within Atlassian's products significantly improves user project and communication management.
What is Atlassian Rovo?
Atlassian Rovo is an AI-powered tool designed to help teams unlock their enterprise knowledge and turn information into action. Powered by Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo accelerates the process of finding, learning, and acting on information dispersed across a range of internal tools. With its proprietary common data model called the "teamwork graph" Rovo AI provides a comprehensive view of an organization's goals, knowledge, teams, and work. This innovative tool is part of the Atlassian Intelligence ecosystem, aiming to boost workplace productivity and efficiency.
Rovo Search: Connecting Atlassian and Third-Party Tools
At the core of Rovo is Rovo Search, a powerful tool that integrates various types of business data from Atlassian products and third-party SaaS applications. Atlassian's head of product for Atlassian Intelligence, Jamil Valliani, revealed that Rovo Search currently supports services like Slack, Figma, Google Drive, and GitHub, with plans to add around 80 connectors in the coming months. With more data connections, users will be able to create a greater number of AI agents, enhancing Rovo Search's capabilities. This allows users to search and interact with data across various platforms seamlessly.
Expanding Rovo's Reach with Rovo Chat and Browser Extension
Users can now harness the power of Rovo Chat to ask detailed questions about their data, further boosting productivity. An AI agent can perform tasks autonomously, assisting users by generating code recommendations and plans, and triggering actions based on specific inputs. The newly introduced Rovo browser extension expands this experience by enabling users to interact with Rovo's chat on any website, making it a versatile and empowering tool.
Personalized Search with Social Signals
Rovo Search also introduces social signals, improving search result rankings based on a team's collaboration history. This personalization ensures that users feel understood, gets more relevant results based on who they typically work with, and streamlines information retrieval.
Rovo Agents: Automating Routine Tasks
One of Rovo's standout features is its AI-powered agents, which automate routine tasks such as drafting release notes or generating bug reports. However, managing Jira tickets can introduce potential vulnerabilities and data security concerns, as sensitive internal issues may be accessed without authorization. Currently, there are 20 pre-built agents available, including a translator, an OKR generator, and even a trivia host. Businesses can also create custom agents to meet their needs, allowing further workflow automation and flexibility.
Unlocking Enterprise Knowledge
Atlassian Rovo is specifically designed to address the challenges of information silos in large companies. With the average company using over 230 apps, valuable knowledge often gets trapped, making it difficult for employees to find the information they need to perform their jobs effectively. Rovo's AI-powered search engine, Rovo Search, surfaces the most contextual and relevant results, no matter where the data is stored or the format it takes. This enables teams to find answers faster and make informed decisions, breaking down barriers to information access and enhancing overall productivity.
Expanding Agent Capabilities Through Partnerships
Atlassian plans to expand its agent capabilities by collaborating with partners like Appfire, Usertesting, Onward, and Zapier. These partnerships will make the agents even more versatile, enabling users to automate various tasks.
Rovo for Non-Atlassian Users
Rovo's AI functionality isn't limited to Atlassian users. Recognizing that not all team members use Atlassian products, the company has made Rovo and Rovo Search accessible to non-Atlassian users at no additional cost, broadening its appeal and utility.
AI Tools for Developers and Project Managers
Beyond Rovo, Atlassian is introducing additional AI features to assist developers and project managers. Developers and project managers can access these tools through the Atlassian Marketplace, a dedicated website for downloading plug-ins for various Atlassian products. These tools automate time-consuming tasks such as generating code recommendations and pull requests within Jira. The new AutoDev agent helps developers identify and address issues like configuration changes or crashes, keeping them focused on more critical tasks.
Improving Pull Request Reviews with AI
Another AI-powered tool will enhance the speed and effectiveness of pull request reviews. Automatically analyzing code provides suggestions for improvements, making the review process faster and more efficient, regardless of the code management tool.
