Atlassian Rovo is the AI layer across Atlassian's cloud products, providing search, chat, autonomous agents and the Rovo Studio builder inside Confluence, Jira, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, Trello and Loom. It serves engineering, product, IT service and operations teams that already work in Atlassian and want AI that carries project context between a ticket, the spec that spawned it and the pull request that implements it. Rovo is now also sold as its own app: the Rovo Standard user role gives people access without a paid Jira or Confluence subscription.
Rovo is built on the Teamwork Graph, a contextual layer connecting people, projects, goals, decisions and code, so an answer can carry context from a Jira issue to the Confluence spec behind it and the Bitbucket pull request that implements it. Atlassian describes its Rovo connector library as more than 80 connectors, and the ones it documents include Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Box, Dropbox, Figma, Miro, Lucid, Notion, Asana, ServiceNow, Smartsheet, DocuSign, Zoom and Zendesk. Atlassian's own apps also put Rovo inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Rovo runs Model Context Protocol in both directions. Atlassian operates an official remote MCP server, rebuilt in October 2026 with more than 220 tools, so external clients such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can read and act on Atlassian data, and Rovo itself ships nine out-of-the-box agents that consume third-party MCP servers inside Confluence and Jira, among them Intercom and Lovable, with Figma, Canva, Box, Amplitude, HubSpot and Gamma generally available and Replit in beta.
Pricing is in USD and runs on two ladders. Rovo Standard is charged at $5 per user per month per organization and is currently in open beta, so it is not billed yet. When the beta ends an organization returns to Rovo Free unless it opts in to the paid plan, with at least 90 days to decide. Rovo is also included, with no separate purchase, on paid Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Service Collection and Teamwork Collection Cloud plans. After Atlassian's October 13, 2026 list-price increase, Confluence Standard is $7.15 per user per month and Premium $14.10 at ten users on monthly billing, both falling with seat volume. Enterprise is billed annually from 801 users and bought through sales, with a published list price of $137,000 per year for 801 to 1,000 users.
What the entry tier does not buy: Rovo is metered in credits, and the allowance rather than the seat price governs how much AI a team gets. On Jira or Confluence, Standard includes 25 Rovo credits per user per month, Premium 70 and Enterprise 150, with 100, 250 and 625 indexed objects per user, while Service Collection and Teamwork Collection include ten times the credits. Each Rovo Standard user adds 400 credits and 1,500 indexed objects a month to the same pool. Credits are pooled across the organization and do not roll over. A basic Rovo Chat answer or basic agent run costs 10 credits, deeper modes cost a variable amount, and enriched Teamwork Graph calls through the Rovo MCP server draw on the same pool. From December 3, 2026, usage past the allowance is billed at $0.01 per credit, extra usage is on by default, and admins get alerts at 80 and 100 percent and can set a spending cap or turn it off. The nine third-party MCP agents require Rovo Premium or Enterprise, and a site admin must enable each agent's MCP server. HIPAA coverage is scoped: Rovo Chat, Rovo Agents and Rovo Search are supported in HIPAA-enabled environments, while the Chrome extension, the CLI, Rovo MCP, the mobile app and the desktop app are out of scope for protected health information. Rovo is not available on Atlassian Government Cloud, and it cannot be turned on for an organization registered with a generic email domain such as gmail.com.
Rovo is built for teams with an Atlassian footprint, because even the standalone Rovo Standard role sits inside an Atlassian organization. Teams that want an AI workspace with its own documents and enterprise search should look at Notion AI at $20/mo billed annually. Teams whose work already lives in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams will find equivalent coverage in Microsoft 365 Copilot at $21/mo billed annually. Teams that want the same idea inside a project-management platform rather than a wiki should look at ClickUp Brain at $9/mo billed annually. Teams that want their own on-screen and meeting activity captured locally on the device, rather than search over work already filed in cloud tools, should look at screenpipe. Companies whose developers and customers need cited answers about a technical product, drawn from its documentation, code and support tickets, should look at kapa.ai.
Current state Q4 2026: At its Team '26 Europe conference on October 6, 2026, Atlassian added Work, a Rovo Chat mode that proposes a plan for a complex multi-step task, lets the user shape it, then executes it across Jira, Confluence and connected tools in an admin-governed sandbox, and a task can run for hours. Atlassian also rebuilt its MCP server, introduced local EU AI inference that restricts model processing to EU-hosted models, and launched Rovo Code Search and an Artifacts app. On October 14, 2026 Atlassian announced ISO/IEC 42001 certification for Rovo, alongside Rovo's own SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 attestations, GDPR commitments, a published CCPA commitment and the scoped HIPAA support above. Rovo Standard is still in open beta and free during it, Atlassian now sells prepaid Rovo credit packs with volume discounts on annual packs, and the Rovo page puts its user base at more than 3 million. In September Atlassian said Rovo will be part of its planned US Department of Defense Impact Level 5 deployment, with the authorization submission brought forward to July 2028. Third-party LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, operate under zero data retention agreements and do not train on customer inputs or outputs. Atlassian may fine-tune its own open-source models on de-identified, aggregated metadata, subject to admin-controlled data contribution settings. Named customers include Mercedes-Benz, Cisco, Reddit, Procore, Sprout Social, Datasite, Harper Collins Publishers and the Atlassian Williams F1 Team.
