As the world of Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve, companies are increasingly looking to leverage the latest AI technologies to drive productivity and collaboration in their organization and have the benefits out of it. One such innovation that is making waves is Atlassian Intelligence - Atlassian's own AI assistant designed to empower teams across their suite of cloud-based Atlassian tools.
Atlassian, the Australian software giant behind popular products like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Trello, recently announced the general availability of Atlassian Intelligence across their cloud platform. This marks a significant milestone in their mission to transform teamwork through the power of artificial intelligence. "Our mission at Atlassian is to unleash the potential of every team," said Scott Farquhar, Atlassian's co-CEO. "We believe the future of teamwork will be a partnership between humans and AI, and Atlassian Intelligence is a key step in realizing that vision."
Atlassian already announced that on the 6th of May 2024 Atlassian Intelligence features will be automatically activated with no additional charges.
Boosting Productivity and Collaboration
For organizations leveraging Atlassian's suite of tools, Atlassian Intelligence offers a range of capabilities designed to streamline workflows and enhance collaboration. One of the standout features is the ability to quickly summarize decisions and action items from meeting minutes, a common pain point for many teams.
"In my day-to-day work, Atlassian Intelligence acts as a virtual teammate that summarizes 5-page PIR reports into 5-sentence recaps for me, so I can get up to speed quickly," said a user from Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd, an early adopter of the technology.
Beyond meeting summaries, Atlassian Intelligence also enables users to draft business-critical content within Confluence in a matter of seconds, boosting the speed and efficiency of content creation. The AI-powered virtual agent in Jira Service Management can also automate support interactions, reducing the workload on human agents and ensuring prompt assistance for employees.
Unlocking Organizational Knowledge
As companies continue to grow and evolve, the knowledge and terminology used to describe projects, systems, and processes can become increasingly complex. Atlassian Intelligence offers a solution to this challenge by providing an on-demand dictionary tailored to the team's specific needs.
"Users can highlight a term and ask Atlassian Intelligence to provide a definition, information on the source of the term, internal subject matter experts, and connections to related work," explains Atlassian's documentation. "This allows users to quickly and easily access the information they need, improving productivity and collaboration within the team."
Responsible AI Adoption
Atlassian's approach to Atlassian Intelligence is guided by their commitment to responsible technology principles, ensuring that the AI assistant is developed and deployed with the highest ethical standards.
"We are committed to working with and helping our customers and partners navigate this fast-changing technology landscape," said Farquhar. “As AI continues to evolve, we will remain steadfast in our dedication to empowering teams while upholding our values of transparency, fairness, and accountability”.
"For organizations looking to harness the power of AI to drive innovation and collaboration, Atlassian Intelligence presents a compelling opportunity. By seamlessly integrating with the tools teams already use, Atlassian's AI assistant promises to unlock new levels of productivity and unlock the full potential of every team” said the co-CEO.
