Rovo, Atlassian’s new AI assistant, helps companies find information and acts as a virtual teammate.

Atlassian has developed a new AI assistant that can provide actionable assistance based on data from internal tools. Rovo also acts as a virtual teammate who can access information and provide assistance or answer questions within specific projects. It’s also possible to create a Rovo Agent yourself, tailored specifically to your needs, or select one through the Atlassian Marketplace. Rovo is based on Atlassian Intelligence, which the company launched last year.

Go with the context

Using Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo understands the entire context of a company’s organization, from projects to new teammates and goals. This allows Rovo to empathize with the projects and provide a deeper understanding of what an employee is encountering, making Rovo a valuable teammate.

Rovo can retrieve a lot of information within the search function with information cards that provide additional information about projects. In addition, Rovo is also accessible in locations where employees work, such as in documents where Rovo can provide an explanatory list of jargon, for example. There is also a conversation option where the AI ​​tool can answer questions within a specific context, such as around a task.

Virtual teammate

The virtual helpers, the so-called Rovo Agents, are specially trained team members who take on certain tasks and support them in their implementation. They are able to synthesize large amounts of business data, break down complex tasks, learn on the fly, and collaborate with their human teammates. In short, they help teammates get to the finish line faster.

Teams can create a Rovo agent themselves or use a pre-built special agent from the Atlassian Marketplace. Some examples are agents for workflow management, knowledge management, team culture or maintenance.
