From organizing our schedules and paying parking tickets to automating tasks at work, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives. By 2025, the global number of AI users is expected to hit 378 million, climbing up to 1.2 billion by 2031. This year alone, 71% of companies are leveraging generative AI tools.
The race to adopt AI is on, but not everyone gets it right. When it comes to AI innovation, Atlassian sets the gold standard. More than just another AI tool that does party tricks, Atlassian Rovo is an enterprise AI solution that brings out the best of human-AI collaboration, helping teams focus on what they do best. With Rovo, you can find the answers you need in seconds, streamline work that usually takes hours, and put those mundane tasks on autopilot.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about Atlassian Rovo—from what it does, how it benefits teams, and real-life examples of how it makes work life easier.
What Is Atlassian Rovo?
Atlassian Rovo is an AI engine embedded into tools like Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management. Built on Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo uses Atlassian’s proprietary data model to map out connections and understand context within your organization.
Backed by Teamwork Graph, Atlassian Cloud’s data intelligence layer, Rovo unifies all your work, teams, and projects into one secure system. By pulling information from your connected tools and apps, Rovo provides a comprehensive view of your knowledge, teams, and ongoing work.
The more systems you connect and the more your team engages, the sharper and more personalized your insights become. This ensures you always get the most relevant and actionable outcomes. Here’s how Rovo puts your enterprise intelligence to work:
Find - Search through company knowledge, third-party apps, and tools you already use. Get results that make sense for your work.
Learn - Use real-time AI chat to gain instant insights, get bite-sized knowledge, and stay in the loop with everything happening in your organization.
Act - Tap into Atassian’s off-the-shelf and custom-built Rovo Agents that automate tasks, expedite processes, build workflows, curate interactive content, and free up your teams to focus on what truly matters.
Key Features of Atlassian Rovo
1. Rovo Search
Forget the “Ctrl+F” or digging through endless apps for information. Rovo searches your Atlassian stack and favorite third-party tools like Slack, Google Drive, or GitHub, pulling up exactly what you need. With smart connectors (pre-built or custom, your call), Rovo sifts through data across the organization and finds what you are looking for within seconds without you having to skip a beat.
Example: You’re overdue for a beach vacay. Use Rovo’s search feature to find information about your company’s vacation policies. Rovo will search through Jira, your internal HR system, and any other app where that information may live.
2. Rovo Chat
Rovo Chat is like having a group chat with your company's knowledge base, but without the endless scrolling. With natural language queries, Rovo’s Chat feature digs into your Atlassian tools and beyond to deliver context-rich insights, generate content, and even explain company terms.
Rovo Chat also gives you the scoop on what’s going on in your organization, like who’s on which team or projects they’re tackling. From summarizing documents to creating a plan to onboard new team members, Rovo simplifies knowledge-sharing and keeps your team informed and ready to roll.
Example: Ask Rovo Chat “How do I file a PTO request?” and within moments, it outlines the exact steps you need to take.
3. Rovo Agents
Part of the Teamwork Collection, Rovo Agents are the ultimate productivity hack. With out-of-the-box Rovo Agents ready to tackle time-consuming tasks—like drafting release notes or translating content—Rovo helps you get s*&t done efficiently. Why do it yourself when Rovo Agents can do it for you?
Example: You’ve already used Rovo’s Search and Chat capabilities to find information on your company’s vacation policies and how to file a PTO request. A Rovo Agent takes things a step further by filing the PTO request for you. Time to book your flight and hotel!
4. Rovo Studio
Want to build bespoke solutions? Rovo Studio lets you create custom agents, automations, and tools. Whether you’re a coder using the Forge platform or you prefer the low-code/no-code way, Rovo Studio is your sandbox to innovate and handle your unique challenges.
Example: You’re back from vacation, but now you need to travel for a client meeting. Build an AI Agent with Rovo Studio that helps book work trips by pulling project dates from Jira, checking availability on your calendar, referencing travel policies in Confluence, and coordinating bookings through integrated tools like SAP Concur. Your custom-built Rovo Agent automates the entire process, from request to approval.

Rovo Pricing and Availability
Rovo is now available at no extra cost for customers on Premium and Enterprise Cloud plans, with Standard plans gaining access in the coming months. Retiring the $20/user/month pricing is major, but the real breakthrough is Atlassian’s move toward consumption-based AI. Basically, if you have a paid Atlassian subscription–whether it’s Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, or the Teamwork Collection–Rovo is already baked in (and will soon be available for Standard customers).
By making Rovo available at no extra cost, Atlassian has addressed one of the biggest hurdles to adopting AI, empowering teams to explore AI without the upfront financial commitment.
