Atlassian makes its Rovo AI free, for now
Apparently it's time to assume you will work with AI and must 'move from doing the thing to being the architect of the thing' Atlassian has decided to make its Rovo AI suite free but will in future introduce fees for use beyond a yet-to-be-determined threshold. Rovo is a generative AI suite that scours users' data, and allows them to search it with a conversational interface, and build agents that can act autonomously. At its Team '25 conference in Las Vegas this week, Atlassian added a tool called "Rovo Studio" that allows creation of agents and definition of AI-driven automation - with or without code. The company also added many connectors to Rovo so it can ingest data from over 50 third-party apps. Move from doing the thing to being the architect of the thing Sherif Mansour, Atlassian's head of AI, outlined a scenario in which a request to update code in a project is logged in Atlassian's Jira issue-tracking tool. Today, those tickets are processed manually. Using Rovo, Mansour envisions an agent "reading" the ticket, analyzing the spec it contains, then writing a proposal for how to make the requested changes. That proposal is sent to a human for approval. He suggested another agent be made aware of a company's brand guidelines and automatically apply them to documents. Mansour told The Register Atlassian already has a million users of its AI, but admitted the company also feels "friction" is holding others back from giving it a try. One source of friction is folk who are yet to implement AI. Price appears to be another source, as despite Rovo gaining its new Studio app and more connectors, Atlassian is dropping its $20/user/month cost to $0. "We can monetize it with consumption-based pricing over time," he told The Register. Mansour also thinks that over time attitudes to AI's role in the workplace must change. "The human skill that needs to change is to move from doing the thing to being the architect of the thing," he said. That means assuming we will all work alongside "nonhuman teammates." "We need to learn how to articulate how and what you want AI to do," he told The Register. The Register put it to Mansour that enterprise software buyers have seen this movie before and it doesn't end well because products that start out free become increasingly expensive, and once users are locked in price hikes accelerate and innovation slows. Mansour said users should judge Atlassian on its record of offering generous free tiers for its products, and paid tiers that are hard to max out. "Find me a customer that says I use Jira and I hit my storage limit," he challenged, before asserting: "That customer does not exist." Other news from Atlassian's gabfest includes the launch of a customer service management application, and a Government Cloud. The Australian collaborationware vendor also announced an "Isolated Cloud" it described as a "virtual private cloud option for organizations that need to keep highly sensitive data in a dedicated environment." It will become available in 2026. The company has also created a pair of software "Collections," one combining Atlassian's Focus and Jira Align products, plus a new workforce planning app called "Talent," into a "Strategy Collection." The "Teamwork Collection" combines Jira, Confluence, Loom and Rovo Agents. The Register understands Atlassian hasn't built extra integrations between the components of the Collections, but instead suggests them because they include all the tools needed to address the functions their names suggests. ®

Atlassian Expands AI Capabilities with Rovo Enterprise Solution | AIM Media House
"AI isn't a nice-to-have anymore - it's a must-have for teams that want to win," Cannon-Brookes said. Atlassian announced on Thursday that its enterprise AI solution, Rovo, will now be available to all customers, starting with premium and enterprise users of Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management. Mike Cannon-Brookes, cofounder and CEO, announced the news at the company's annual Team '25 conference in Anaheim, California. "AI isn't a nice-to-have anymore - it's a must-have for teams that want to win," Cannon-Brookes said "Over a million people use AI on the Atlassian platform each month, and that number's growing fast." Alongside the broader rollout of Rovo, Atlassian also introduced Rovo Studio, a new low-code/no-code app for building custom AI-powered agents. This tool enables users to automate workflows, model real-world objects with schemas, and create interactive content views via hubs. Developers can also leverage Forge to customise agents or extend app functionality. As part of Atlassian's Rovo AI enhancement, Rovo now integrates with over 50 third-party platforms, including OneDrive, Gmail, and Notion, minimising information silos. New enhancements to Rovo Chat -- such as the upcoming Deep Research feature -- enable the synthesis of insights from organisational data for long-term strategic planning. Atlassian also introduced out-of-the-box Rovo agents to improve team collaboration, developer support, and service delivery. These tools are powered by Teamwork Graph, a data intelligence layer mapping billions of work-related connections to optimise AI functionality. "We're not just focused on the Fortune 500, we're aiming to reach the Fortune 500,000 and beyond," Cannon-Brookes added. Additionally, Atlassian also introduced two curated product sets: the Teamwork Collection and the Strategy Collection. The former includes Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo agents designed to foster collaboration and decision-making across teams. The latter connects leadership with strategic execution, combining the apps Focus, Talent, and Jira Align. The Focus app, now generally available, lets leaders monitor strategic goals in real time. The newly launched Talent app provides a live view of workforce allocation and includes a Talent Finder agent to identify employees with skills matching project demands. Align offers organisation-wide planning from concept to delivery and is now included in the Strategy Collection at no additional cost for existing customers. To meet the demands of highly regulated industries, Atlassian previewed the Atlassian Isolated Cloud, set to launch in 2026. This virtual private cloud solution is aimed at organisations handling sensitive data. It follows the launch of Atlassian Government Cloud, which is currently in early access for US government agencies.

Atlassian Unveils Rovo AI Solution for All Customers and New Low-Code Studio App
Additionally, Atlassian has added new out-of the-box agents for facilitating teamwork, supporting developers and improving company-wide service delivery. Teamwork Graph, a data intelligence layer that connects Atlassian with third-party data, powers each of these innovations; it understands how all work objects across an organisation -- like teams, messages and goals -- interconnect by mapping billions of data connections across over 10 billion data objects. Introducing Teamwork and Strategy Collections In an effort to assist organisations as they implement a unified System of Work -- and work to partake in the human-AI collaboration of the future -- Atlassian has released new Collections of apps and agents tailored to specific use cases. Atlassian's new Strategy Collection connects leaders to every part of their organisation and provides a clear view of the connection between strategy and execution, replete with real-time data showing whether teams are driving towards the highest-priority outcomes. This specialised collection brings together three apps: Focus (now available to the general public), Talent (a brand new app) and Jira Align: Teamwork Collection is designed to enable cross-functional collaboration and align technical and business teams towards a common goal. Today's teams are under immense pressure to deliver value at a faster clip; a staggering 89% of leaders believe their organization must move more rapidly than ever to keep up with competition. Unfortunately, work silos, ineffective AI and disconnected tools impede everyone's progress.
