AI isn’t just hype; it’s transforming how teams collaborate and get work done. Most organizations are embracing artificial intelligence in some form, yet simply adding AI tools to your stack doesn’t automatically boost productivity. In fact, many teams struggle to make the most of these new AI capabilities because they lack the right integration into daily workflows.

AI Adoption Challenges

Worrying underutilization: According to Atlassian’s 2025 State of Teams report, 98% of executives are worried that their teams aren’t using AI effectively to break down silos and share information.
Information management gaps: 71% of teams admit they’re not maximizing AI to help manage and discover the information they need.
Uncertainty in approach: 96% of leaders aren’t completely sure how to encourage their teams to use AI more effectively in day-to-day work.
Too many tools, not enough strategy: It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the myriad of AI tools available. Adopting a “try everything” approach (like buying the flashiest AI solution with the most features) can lead to integration pain and wasted effort. Without a well-integrated solution, your team is likely to end up in that 71% underutilization group.

AI That Fits Your Workflow

Every organization and every team within it has unique needs and goals. AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and you shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to incorporate it into your existing processes. The key is to make AI work with your team’s natural workflow, not force your team to adapt to the AI. Atlassian’s approach to this challenge is the Teamwork Collection, a collaboration stack that comes supercharged with AI capabilities tailored to your data and context.

At the heart of this AI-driven collaboration is Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph an intelligent data layer that unifies all your organization’s information about people, projects, content, and team activity on the Atlassian Cloud platform. This connected graph of knowledge powers more contextual and relevant AI experiences. Instead of a generic assistant with no memory, Atlassian’s AI uses the Teamwork Graph to understand your context. Rovo is included with Teamwork Collection and brings personalized AI into your daily tools. By drawing on data from across Jira issues, Confluence pages, and more, Rovo can handle complex, multi-step prompts and provide richer, context-aware responses. In short, Atlassian’s Teamwork Collection delivers an AI that truly fits your workflow meeting your team where you are and evolving with your needs.

AI-Powered Search & Chat with Rovo

Rovo Search: Find exactly what you need across all your apps and knowledge bases. Rovo Search uses AI to comb through connected tools (and 50+ third-party app integrations) to surface relevant pages, tickets, and data. Instead of wading through multiple platforms, you get a curated answer or snippet, personalized to your role and projects, that quickly connects you to the people, teams, or information you’re looking for.
Rovo Chat: Get instant insights and answers through an AI chatbot that understands your context. Rovo Chat lets you ask questions in natural language and receive personalized, context-aware responses. It maintains a running dialogue, so you can refine your questions or ask follow-ups without starting from scratch. It even has a “Deep Research” mode to gather in-depth information and generate comprehensive content (like a first draft of a requirements document or a project summary) based on your data.
Browser extension convenience: With the Rovo Chrome Extension, you can take this AI assistant wherever you work. The extension brings Rovo’s chat and search capabilities into any website or web app, meaning you could be reading an external knowledge site or support ticket system and still query Rovo for quick answers or related content from your internal tools.

Because Rovo is powered by the Teamwork Graph that links all your team’s knowledge, its Search and Chat functionalities break down information silos. The result is faster answers, less time spent hunting for documents, and more time delivering high-impact work.

Rovo Agents: Your New AI Teammates

AI can do more than just answer questions it can act as a teammate. Rovo Agents are AI-driven agents with specific skillsets and goals, operating autonomously to take on tasks for your team. Think of a Rovo Agent as a digital team member with a defined “job description.” It has access to relevant knowledge and can take actions in your Atlassian tools just like a human would. For example, an agent could create a new Jira issue, update a Confluence page, draft a comment, or assemble a project plan based on your instructions.

What makes these agents especially powerful is their ability to handle complex tasks that involve reasoning and context. They work in real-time alongside your team: you can mention an agent in a comment or assign it work, and it will respond with results or next-step suggestions. Rovo Agents integrate seamlessly with Atlassian Cloud products, so they can execute multi-step workflows like breaking down a big project into smaller tasks, writing up product requirement documents, or even generating a diagram on a Confluence whiteboard. Crucially, they always respect your permission settings – an agent can only access data and perform actions that a human team member with the same access could. These AI teammates are designed to support your team, not replace the human element, ensuring that while the busywork is handled by AI, the creative and decision-making control stays with people.

Out-of-the-Box Teamwork Agents

Teamwork Collection comes with a set of pre-built Rovo Agents ready to tackle common team challenges. You can deploy these AI teammates right away to save time and improve consistency:

Customer Insights Agent: Transforms raw customer feedback into actionable insights. This agent uses a structured approach to sift through data sources like Jira tickets or Confluence pages where feedback is captured. It aggregates that raw input into key observations, interprets underlying customer needs or pain points, and highlights opportunities for improvement. In short, it turns a jumble of customer comments into a clear set of learnings your team can act on.
Brand Voice Crafter: Keeps your content on-message and on-brand. This agent is your AI content editor that knows your organization’s brand guidelines. It can generate new text in your company’s established voice and tone, so drafts sound like you. It also reviews existing content and provides feedback or edits to better align the text with your brand standards. The result is consistent, polished messaging without having to manually police every document.
Build or customize your own: Have a unique need? You can easily tailor these agents or even create a brand-new AI agent from scratch using Atlassian’s Studio toolkit. Studio is a no-code builder that lets you define an agent’s “job” and behavior with simple natural language instructions. That means if you can describe the task, you can probably automate it whether it’s a custom workflow helper, a specialized research assistant, or anything else your team dreams up, all without writing a single line of code.

New AI Agents on the Horizon

The capabilities of Rovo’s AI teammates are growing all the time. Here are a few exciting upcoming Teamwork Agents in development, showing what’s next for AI helping your team:

Brainstorm Facilitator: Kickstart creative thinking during planning sessions. This agent will live in Confluence whiteboards and help your team ideate. Give it a prompt, and it will generate a set of idea cards using context from your existing project plans or past campaigns. It can present multiple fresh ideas on a whiteboard for everyone to review and even suggest follow-up actions or next steps for the most promising concepts. It’s like having an AI moderator to spark inspiration it can even factor in constraints like budget or timeline changes and still produce dozens of relevant ideas in seconds.
Diagram Creator: Instantly visualize processes or concepts. After a brainstorming session, this agent can take the discussion and automatically draft a diagram on a Confluence whiteboard. Whether it’s an org chart, a flowchart of a new workflow, or a network diagram, the Diagram Creator interprets the text or outline you provide and turns it into a clear visual diagram, saving you the time of manual drawing.
Workflow Builder: Keep your Jira projects running like clockwork. The Workflow Builder agent can create or modify Jira workflows on the fly. Tell it what process you need, and it will set up statuses, transitions, and rules accordingly. It can also analyze an existing workflow and suggest improvements or automation rules to eliminate bottlenecks, helping your team stay efficient and organized.
Meeting Insights Reporter: Don’t worry about missing meetings or forgetting details. This agent will aggregate key decisions and insights from multiple meeting recordings. It then produces a clear, concise summary of what happened and any action items. It’s perfect for catching up on meetings you couldn’t attend or just extracting the important points from a busy week’s worth of discussions, so everyone stays aligned without sifting through hours of notes.

Real Results from Human-AI Collaboration

These AI teammates aren’t just theoretical they’re already delivering value for teams. In Atlassian’s recent AI Collaboration report, teams that fully embrace human-AI collaboration are saving on average 105 minutes per day. Real-world examples from early users of Teamwork Agents show how much time and effort AI can save:

For instance, an Onboarding Buddy agent at one company answered 2,000+ common questions from new hires in its first month, offloading a huge amount of repetitive Q&A from human team members. Another team used a Pull Request (PR) Generator agent that now auto-completes about 80% of the routine coding tasks needed for code reviews, freeing up developers to focus on more complex work. Yet another group’s Content Helper agent has already created 25+ pieces of content, accelerating their content production without extra headcount.

By entrusting these kinds of repetitive or structured tasks to AI, human teammates are freed to focus on creative problem-solving, strategic planning, and the big-picture decisions that truly require human insight. The results speak for themselves productivity is up, and teams can deliver results at a scale and speed that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, Atlassian’s Teamwork Agents are emerging as a practical, secure, and scalable model for weaving AI into daily workflows to achieve these gains.
