Explore the features, benefits, and capabilities of Atlassian’s latest AI tool, Rovo, designed to boost productivity and streamline workflows.
AI’s Growing Influence in the Workplace
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we work, particularly in the digital sector. By handling labor-intensive tasks, AI enables employees to focus on strategic activities that add greater value to the organization. Instead of fearing job displacement, many are welcoming AI for its ability to ease workloads and enhance efficiency. Atlassian is fully embracing AI, especially generative AI, to enhance its tools, including the notable Atlassian Intelligence, which improves productivity in tools like Jira and Confluence.
