Diesen Artikel auf Deutsch lesen

Given the rapid rise of AI technologies, it is reasonable to assume that the future of team collaboration will be a partnership between humans and AI. Intelligent, continuously learning software will be able to perform various standard tasks, communicate meaningfully with customers, and even support complex projects at various levels.

In April 2023, Atlassian announced the cross-product launch of their own Gen AI solution called Atlassian Intelligence and has since invested heavily in the development of this feature set. As expected, interest has been huge; according to Atlassian, almost ten percent of all customers have participated in the beta program - a record!

The first wave of AI features has now been delivered and is generally available for the cloud platform. They are designed to help teams work together more productively, get things done faster, and use company data more effectively to make better decisions. Let's look at which features Atlassian has recently released and which will follow soon.

Promote Individual Productivity with Atlassian Intelligence

Effective teamwork hinges on individual productivity: when each team member works optimally, the whole team accomplishes more. With Atlassian Intelligence, users can swiftly design pages containing crucial content, automate routine tasks by making simple requests in natural language, summarize lengthy texts, and access relevant, context-specific help more efficiently. This empowers every team member to deliver their best, fostering outstanding results.

AI-supported Summaries: For extensive Confluence pages with long texts and Jira processes with a wealth of information, Atlassian Intelligence generates efficient summaries, saving screen time and bringing the essential details into focus.
