Rovo is Atlassian’s AI-powered platform for unified search and intelligent assistance across your organization’s tools. It continues to expand how teams connect their tools and knowledge. With the latest release, you can integrate more of your everyday apps directly into Rovo. This means better enterprise search, smarter AI-driven answers, and faster results, all without constant app switching. In this blog, we’ll explore the new Rovo connectors now available, explain why they matter for your team’s productivity, and show how Atlas Bench can help you take full advantage of them.
The latest Rovo update introduces a broad range of third-party app integrations. In total, dozens of popular applications can now be connected to Rovo’s intelligent search. Here’s the full list of apps you can plug into Rovo today:
Document Storage & Files: Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and SharePoint. Connecting these file repositories brings all your documents and files into one searchable place.
Knowledge Bases & Intranets: Confluence Data Center, Notion, and even custom websites. This ensures your internal wikis and knowledge portals are included in Rovo’s index.
Project & Work Management: Jira Data Center, Asana, Monday, Smartsheet, Aha!, and Airtable. By connecting these, all your project plans, tasks, and work tracking items become searchable through Rovo.
Development Platforms: GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. These allow Rovo to index code repositories, issues, and development work items alongside your other content.
Team Communication: Slack and Microsoft Teams. Rovo can index your chat histories and channels, making past conversations searchable alongside other knowledge.
Email & Calendars: Gmail, Outlook Mail, Google Calendar, and Outlook Calendar. Now you can quickly find that crucial email or meeting detail without leaving Rovo.
E-Signature Tools: Adobe Sign and DocuSign. This makes it easy to locate signed agreements or pending documents instantly when you need them.
Business & Support Systems: ServiceNow, Zendesk, and Workday. These connectors bring IT tickets, customer support cases, and HR records into your unified search results.
Visual Collaboration: Lucid and Miro. By integrating these visual collaboration tools, your diagrams, whiteboards, and brainstorming boards become part of your knowledge search results.
Each connector brings data from the respective app into Rovo’s search index securely. You can pick and choose which connectors to enable based on the tools your team uses. By connecting these apps, Rovo can present a single search box to comb through all your company’s scattered information, from files and tickets to messages and pages, in one go.
Think about how often a simple question requires searching through multiple systems. You might dig through emails, then hop into a project management tool, then scour your file drive or chat history, just to find one answer. It’s time-consuming and frustrating. Rovo’s new connectors solve this by pulling together knowledge from across all those apps into one unified search experience.
Instead of switching between countless browser tabs or applications, your team can ask a question once in Rovo. The platform’s AI then searches across all connected sources simultaneously. For example, one query in Rovo could retrieve an answer that includes a Confluence Data Center page, a related Jira ticket, and even an attachment from Box, all in a single, consolidated result. This not only saves time, but also ensures that valuable information never stays hidden in a silo. Team members get faster answers, make decisions with all the relevant context, and avoid duplicate work.
Another big advantage is how these integrations empower Rovo’s AI features. Rovo isn’t just a search engine; it also provides AI-powered assistants called Rovo Agents that can answer natural-language questions or perform tasks by leveraging your data. The more tools you connect, the smarter these AI agents become. They can draw on a richer pool of knowledge when you ask them something. That means whether you’re checking a customer’s contract status in an e-signature tool such as Adobe Sign or DocuSign or looking up the latest project updates in Jira, Asana, or Monday, Rovo’s AI can gather and summarize the answer instantly. In short, these connectors turn Rovo into a true single source of truth for your organization’s knowledge, dramatically reducing the time spent hunting for information.
Faster Information Discovery: With all your apps connected, employees can find what they need with a single search query, instead of manually checking each tool.
Reduced Tool Switching: By bringing multiple platforms into one interface, Rovo minimizes context-switching. Your team stays focused and in the flow, rather than bouncing between applications to gather information.
Smarter AI Assistance: Rovo’s AI agents have access to a comprehensive knowledge base when all these connectors are enabled. They can provide more accurate, context-rich answers and even proactive recommendations across different domains, whether it’s code snippets in GitHub or sales figures in spreadsheets.
Elimination of Knowledge Silos: Information stored in one department’s tool can now benefit the entire organization. For instance, a solution documented in Slack or Teams can be discovered by someone searching in Rovo, even if they don’t normally use those chat tools.
Improved Decision Making: When relevant data from support tickets, documents, and project plans is at everyone’s fingertips, teams can make decisions based on complete information. Nothing critical gets overlooked due to being hidden away in a separate system.
Adding these new connectors to Rovo is a straightforward process, but it’s important to approach it strategically. First, identify which tools hold the most important information for your workflows. You might start by connecting the apps that your teams use daily, such as your document storage, project management, and communication tools. Rovo provides an admin interface where you can securely authorize each third-party app. In just a few clicks, you’ll grant Rovo read-only access to index content from, say, your company’s Dropbox or Jira Data Center.
As you enable connectors, it’s crucial to ensure proper permissions and governance. Rovo respects the original permissions of each system, meaning users will only see search results from content they already have access to in the source app. To make the most of this, double-check that your access controls in those tools are up-to-date. A well-planned governance strategy will maintain security while removing unnecessary barriers to information. For example, you can define which projects or folders get indexed from a tool like Box or Google Drive, ensuring that only relevant or non-sensitive content is included.
It’s also a good idea to roll out new integrations gradually. Train your team on how to use Rovo’s search and AI capabilities once additional sources are integrated. Many users might be used to going directly to, say, Confluence or Slack to look something up. Demonstrating that “you can just ask Rovo” and showing concrete examples will build confidence and encourage adoption. Over time, as people trust the unified search, you’ll notice productivity improvements and fewer instances of “I couldn’t find that document” or “I didn’t know someone already answered this question.”
