Introducing the AI context engine for your entire codebase
Atlassian Code Context brings large-scale, multi-repo codebase understanding into the Teamwork Graph so Rovo and coding agents produce better output with fewer tokens Without the right context, every day is day one for a coding agent. Agents may have the intelligence needed to write, refactor, and review code, but they still face the same challenge […]
What high-throughput engineers do differently and why AI widens the gap
We interviewed 15 high-throughput Atlassian engineers. The most interesting finding: AI didn’t make their fundamentals obsolete – it accelerated them significantly.
Why better tickets help agents write better code
A small team built a production-grade compensation app with AI agents. Per engineer, we shipped 5x more code and wrote 5x more Jira tickets, and the tickets scored far higher on quality.
How to Speed Up Connect to Forge Migration With AI
This is a guest post by Move Work Forward, an Atlassian Marketplace Partner. We recently moved five of our Atlassian Marketplace apps from Connect to Forge in two months. If you want the full migration story, you can read it in our other blog post here. This post is about one piece of it: how […]
Jira’s Summer 2026 Release: Smarter Agents, Rebuilt Views, and a Faster Foundation
Over the last six months, we’ve been evolving Jira for AI-native work – building the infrastructure for agents to act on work, shipping new MCP capabilities so coding agents can take more actions in Jira, and making Teamwork Graph CLI generally available to ensure agents have the enterprise-scale context they need to work effectively. Today, […]
Coding at the speed of thought: how I talk to Rovo Dev from Slack
I built a ~300-line Python bridge so I can chat with Rovo Dev directly from Slack – no terminal, no context switching, just AI-assisted coding wherever I already am. The Setup: From Terminal to Slack I spend a lot of time in Slack. My terminal? Less so. So I asked myself – what if I […]
More ways to Build on Forge: Container Services is Now in Preview
Today, we’re excited to announce a big milestone for Forge container services: the official Preview release. Apps using containerised services can now be deployed to production environments, published on the Atlassian marketplace, and distributed to customers. Forge container services does what it says on the tin—you can run container images directly on Forge infrastructure as […]
How We Used Agentic Pipelines to Swarm Documentation
A feature is not really shipped when just the code lands in production. It is shipped only when the documentation tells the same story. For our DevAI team, every Rovo Dev CLI change kicked off a familiar chain reaction. Find the affected documentation, update the Markdown and configuration, deploy the docs, check the generated pages […]
Getting Ready for Connect End of Support
Note: This post applies to Connect apps for Jira and Confluence. Bitbucket Connect end of support information can be found here. Since we announced Connect end of support a year and a half ago, the app ecosystem has undergone a remarkable transition. Over 95% of paid app seats have been migrated to Forge, moving the […]
Forge LLMs API is now GA: Here’s how you can build AI-native apps on Atlassian
Today, we’re announcing the Forge LLMs API is now generally available for all developers. Large language models are now everywhere—embedded in the apps we use every day. They provide the intelligence that reduces manual effort, surfaces information, and helps us work more effectively. The Forge LLMs API lets any developer bring that intelligence directly into […]
From prompts to orchestration: Scale AI coding agent impact with Jira Automation
Jira Automation now lets you trigger GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude as a step in any rule. Set conditions, hand off work to agents automatically.
Every agent. Every state. Full visibility in Jira.
See what’s stuck, what’s shipping, and what’s complete. All in one place. Starting today, every software team working in Jira can get visibility into agents they’re running across their spaces and repos in a single view, grouped by what needs attention first. Validating agent output at scale Engineering orgs are rapidly scaling from working manually […]
Fix Bugs Faster with Atlassian Rovo MCP
Most new tools get introduced through a feature list. I’d rather start with a workflow. That’s how I approached the new Rovo MCP server. Instead of talking about it abstractly, I wanted to test it in a workflow developers hit all the time: fixing a bug. The question I wanted to answer was simple: can […]
How We Brought Enterprise-Managed Authorization to Rovo MCP with XAA and ID-JAG
We recently added support for Enterprise-Managed Authorization in Atlassian Rovo MCP server using Cross-App Access (XAA) and the Identity Assertion JWT Authorization Grant (ID-JAG). In practical terms, this means an admin can centrally authorize MCP access for approved clients like Claude, and when users sign in, Rovo MCP can already be connected and ready to […]
Spec-driven AI Migration: How Nearly 2 Quarters of Work Was Completed in One Week
A small team migrated 100+ GraphQL fetchers by turning Jira tickets into behavioral specs that AI agents could execute against. We recently migrated 100+ GraphQL fetchers from a legacy gateway service to a newer platform layer. We managed to do this with 5 developers completing around 2 quarters worth of work in a week, splitting […]
