    Team '26 Special - Rovo Studio GA, Agents in Jira & Teamwork Graph Opens | All Things Atlassian

    Team '26 special edition. Atlassian's annual conference ran May 5-7 in Anaheim, and the announcements add up to one big shift: Atlassian's pitch flipped from "use Rovo, our agent" to "bring whatever agent you already use, and we'll plug it into the most complete picture of your work that exists anywhere." The Teamwork Graph — 150 billion-plus connections across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and 75+ third-party tools — now opens to any AI agent through two new surfaces: a 300-command Teamwork Graph CLI for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, plus two new MCP server tools that work with Claude, ChatGPT, Copilots, anyone. Six deep dives in this episode: 1. Rovo Studio Hits GA — one place to build agents, automations, and apps. Non-engineers can ship custom Forge apps from a single prompt. Governance is built in. 2. Agents in Jira Is GA — agents become first-class assignees with the same fields and audit trail a human teammate would have. Third-party agents are first-class too: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Canva, Figma, Gamma, HubSpot, Intercom. 3. The Teamwork Graph Opens via CLI + MCP (open beta). Atlassian's own benchmark: 44% more accurate answers, 48% fewer tokens versus ungrounded AI. 4. Confluence Remix, AI Slides, and Partner Agents — pages become a living visual and agent-routing surface. @mention Lovable, Replit, Gamma directly in a page. 5. Rovo Service Goes GA — AI teammates that autonomously execute provisioning, access management, and HR onboarding. Plus Incident Command Center is coming. 6. Loom Bug Reporting Hits GA — record 30 seconds, get a dev-ready Jira ticket with console logs and network data attached, optionally assigned to Rovo Dev. Plus 7 headlines (Max reasoning, Code Intelligence, DX AI, TWG Connectors, Create with Rovo, JPD Enterprise, Feedback) and 10 quick hits. Sponsored by User Manager for Cloud from resolution — one app for license deactivation, permission changes, group management, and inactive user cleanup. https://www.resolution.de/user-deactivator-overview/ AI-researched and AI-scripted, but reviewed and quality-checked by a human.
