Atlassian first confirmed off Rovo six months in the past. Rovo is what the corporate calls its “AI teammate” that mixes smarter search and chat-based AI instruments with brokers that may assist customers automate a few of their workflows in instruments like Jira and Confluence. At its Team ’24 Europe occasion in Barcelona, the corporate has now introduced the overall availability of Rovo. In addition, Atlassian additionally introduced various extra new AI options that, like Rovo, are a part of the corporate’s Atlassian Intelligence platform.
At the core of Rovo is Rovo Search, which mixes information from core Atlassian instruments like Jira and Confluence, but additionally permits companies to attach all kinds of third-party Cloud Software instruments. Jamil Valliani, Atlassian’s head of product for Atlassian Intelligence, informed me that Search will help about 80 connectors within the subsequent months. For now, it helps bringing in information from providers like Slack, Figma, Google Drive, and GitHub, however the plan is to help the entire main Cloud Software apps that Atlassian’s clients use.
From there, they will then search this information, but additionally use Rovo Chat to ask questions on it. Now with the brand new Rovo browser extension, individuals can use this chat expertise on any website on the net.
As for Rovo Search, Valliani additionally famous that the corporate now takes social alerts into consideration when rating search outcomes, primarily based on information from its staff graph, which permits it to know who you sometimes collaborate with.
Beyond these core options, what received individuals most excited when Atlassian first demoed Rovo, was Rovo Agents. This is the place the clever help idea totally takes kind within the Atlassian ecosystem. The promise right here is that these brokers can deal with among the routine and repetitive duties for workers and free them as much as do extra vital work. There are about 20 brokers out there proper now, starting from a software that may draft launch notes, a bug report assistant, an OKR generator, a translator, and a trivia host (as a result of why not?).
The actual energy right here, although, is that workers can construct their very own brokers, Valliani stated. “We actually need to encourage individuals throughout the enterprise on what is feasible,” he stated.
Over time, Atlassian plans to convey extra brokers and agent capabilities into its Marketplace, the place it’s already partnering with Appfire, Usertesting, Onward, and Zapier to spotlight a few of these capabilities.
Not everyone inside an organization makes use of Atlassian merchandise, although, which might probably restrict the attain of a product like Rovo and Rovo Search — and make it a tougher promote for Atlassian as various different corporations are additionally vying to supply equally complete AI-powered providers. But as the corporate introduced Wednesday, it’s making Rovo out there to non-Atlassian customers at no extra price.
Atlassian Intelligence for builders
Rovo is possibly probably the most seen a part of Atlassian Intelligence proper now, however as a part of this launch, the corporate can also be launching various extra options, largely for builders and venture managers, that can assist them with time-consuming duties that don’t instantly contain programming.
Now, a brand new AI Agent will have the ability to generate code plans, code suggestions, and pull requests in Jira primarily based on a job description that the developer writes, along with necessities and extra context from throughout the group.
“When a developer wakes up within the morning, half the time they’re engaged on points which might be like ‘this factor crashed,’ or ‘I’ve to go change this config.’ All these various things which might be in the best way of really constructing the subsequent function or doing different, extra advanced, work,” Valliani stated. With Jira and Confluence, Atlassian has numerous context from contained in the developer’s firm to search for points and assist builders repair and — ideally — keep away from them.
“We have this AutoDev agent search for points it might assist with, and when it thinks it might assist, it simply presents itself and says, ‘Hey, AutoDev right here. I can deal with this for you.’”
The agent, after all, gained’t act autonomously however will at all times maintain the human within the loop and present precisely what it plans to do.
Another new software will pace up pull request evaluations — irrespective of the code administration software — by routinely analyzing the code and providing suggestions for areas of enchancment.
