Meet Rovo: Atlassian’s AI Engine for Smarter Work

In today’s fast-paced work environments, where collaboration and efficiency are key, Atlassian continues to evolve its ecosystem with AI-driven innovation. At the heart of this transformation is Atlassian Rovo, a smart assistant designed to seamlessly integrate with tools like Jira, Confluence, and beyond. More than just a search bar or chatbot, Rovo acts as a context-aware AI copilot, helping teams find the right information, automate tasks, and stay aligned.

What is Atlassian Rovo?

Atlassian Rovo is Atlassian’s generative AI engine, built to streamline work by centralizing knowledge, understanding context, and delivering smart, actionable insights. It goes far beyond simple automation by offering a unified search experience and semantic understanding of content across tools, teams, and platforms—even external ones like Slack, Google Drive, and Microsoft 365.

At its core, Rovo is about AI-enhanced productivity, where data from multiple sources is intelligently linked and made instantly usable.

Context is Everything: Rovo’s Dynamic Knowledge Graph

What makes Rovo stand out is its ability to map and understand context through a dynamic knowledge graph called Team Work Graph. This graph links issues, documents, conversations, and people across the Atlassian ecosystem according to your actions and navigation on platform, allowing Rovo to provide relevant results even when queries are vague or incomplete.

For example: Looking for a decision made during a project? Rovo can retrieve a Confluence meeting note tied to a Jira epic, referenced in a Slack thread, and deliver it as a concise, contextualized answer.
