At the centre of the update is Teamwork Graph, a system containing more than 150 billion connections linking people, projects, documents, code, and workflows across Atlassian products and third-party applications.
Atlassian said the platform will now be accessible to external AI agents and tools through new open beta offerings, including Teamwork Graph tools in MCP and a command-line interface for coding agents.
The company said these additions will allow AI systems to securely search, reason, and take action across enterprise workflows while maintaining governance and permission controls.
“In 2026, anyone can buy ‘smarts' by the token. The real moat is your institutional memory: every plan, document, and decision your teams have ever made. Rovo is the interface that turns intelligence and context into actual momentum for your business,” said Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian CEO and co-founder.
Atlassian also introduced several upgrades to Rovo, its AI-powered collaboration assistant. These include a generally available Rovo Studio workspace for building AI agents and automations using natural language, and a new “Max mode” feature that can autonomously complete complex multi-step tasks across connected applications.
The company said customers performed more than 14 million Rovo-assisted actions in the past month alone, while agentic automations increased sevenfold over the last six months.
Additional updates include AI agents embedded directly into Jira workflows, new AI-powered content transformation tools in Confluence, and expanded analytics for measuring AI-generated code and automation performance.
Atlassian said the new capabilities are designed to help organisations transition from assistive AI tools to fully integrated AI-native operations.
