Atlassian Rovo Now Generally Available!

So, What Exactly is Rovo?
It’s your new go-to for centralized knowledge. Whether you’re searching through Confluence, Jira, or Bitbucket, or even through third-party tools like Google Drive, Rovo has you covered. It streamlines your search across platforms, making it easier to find and summarize what you need, when you need it.
Rovo delivers the right information at the right time, right where you need it. Say you’re working on a project called “Blueberry”—Rovo’s got you covered. It’ll give you crucial details like the project’s purpose, the team involved, and more, all without you lifting a finger.
Need help with something simpler? Rovo can handle that too! It’s great at decoding acronyms and giving you instant definitions. Plus, you’ll soon be able to access these features in other tools like Google Docs, thanks to a handy browser extension.
Rovo And Confluence: A Perfect Pair
Rovo comes packed with out-of-the-box agents ready to make your life easier. Take the Global Translator agent—it instantly translates your content into multiple languages. Or the Comms Crafter agent, which helps you create clear, engaging content that stays true to your brand’s voice and tone. And that’s just the beginning—there are plenty more agents waiting to be discovered.
The best part? You can create your very own Rovo agent, no coding required. We’ve already tested it, and trust us, it’s a breeze. You’ll have it up and running in less than 10 minutes.
Rovo integrates seamlessly with Automations for Confluence, making it easy to set up entire workflows with its help. Imagine this: you set an automation to run every week, and Rovo gathers all the latest updates from a space, summarizes the key points, and posts the summary to your Slack channel for everyone to see. It’s that simple—and super efficient!
