Atlassian Intelligence Launches Search-Focused Product to Combat Information Silos
Atlassian, a leader in collaboration software, has announced a new AI-powered product called Rovo. Designed to address the growing problem of information sprawl within organizations, Rovo leverages Atlassian Intelligence to streamline information discovery and utilization across various internal tools and platforms.
“Generative AI holds immense potential to empower teams,” said Jamil Valliani, Head of Product at Atlassian Intelligence. “With Rovo, we aim to unlock this potential by tackling the challenge of enterprise search and knowledge management.”
A Solution for Information Overload
Research by Gartner indicates that nearly half of digital workers struggle to locate essential job-related information. This difficulty is compounded by the ever-increasing number of applications used within large enterprises. Rovo addresses this challenge by providing a centralized search function that integrates with existing Atlassian tools and third-party applications.
Find, Learn, Act: A Three-Pronged Approach
Rovo offers a three-pronged approach to information management:
Find: Users can search across various data sources, including Atlassian products, third-party apps, and even custom-built systems, to retrieve relevant and contextual results.
Learn: AI-powered insights, knowledge cards, and an AI chat interface enable users to gain a deeper understanding of their company’s data.
Act: Specialized AI agents can be integrated into workflows to automate repetitive tasks, expedite project completion, and assist with complex problem-solving.
The Teamwork Graph: The Power Behind Rovo
Rovo leverages Atlassian’s extensive experience in understanding team dynamics. Over two decades, the company has built a comprehensive understanding of collaboration patterns, communication structures, and knowledge flow within organizations. This knowledge is captured in a proprietary model called the “teamwork graph.”
The teamwork graph acts as the central nervous system of Rovo. It integrates data from Atlassian tools and connected SaaS applications, providing a holistic view of the organization’s goals, knowledge base, teams, and ongoing projects. As new tools are integrated, user actions are logged, and project events occur, the teamwork graph continuously learns and refines its search capabilities to deliver increasingly relevant results.
Seamless Search and Personalized Access
Rovo Search empowers users to locate the exact information they need within vast amounts of data. It can retrieve information from popular tools like Google Drive, Microsoft products (SharePoint and Teams), GitHub, Slack, and Figma, offering a comprehensive search experience. Additionally, Rovo’s API allows for the integration of industry-specific and custom-built applications, ensuring its applicability across diverse business sectors.
Security remains a priority with Rovo. Search results are personalized and adhere to individual user permissions. This ensures that employees only see information they are authorized to access, while maintaining the privacy of restricted data. Administrators retain full control over search connector activation and data access.
The introduction of Rovo signifies Atlassian’s commitment to leveraging AI to empower teams and enhance collaboration within organizations. By dismantling information silos and streamlining knowledge discovery, Rovo empowers employees to work more efficiently and make data-driven decisions.
