Rovo at Work: AI agents in action

Quick Overview

Rovo agents, deeply embedded within the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence, etc.) and enhanced by the Rovo MCP Gallery, allow teams to automate complex, multi-step workflows directly through natural language chat, saving time on manual tasks and enabling AI to act as a true teammate across planning, development, and documentation.

Key Points: Rovo agents are deeply embedded within the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence) and can execute tasks directly within those applications. The Rovo MCP Gallery allows teams to connect agents with powerful third-party skills (like Amplitude, Canva, Figma) to extend their capabilities beyond Atlassian products. The process demonstrated involved an 'Email Writer' agent drafting a recruitment email based on existing Jira issue context and then a 'GitHub Copilot' agent reviewing the associated pull request, all automated via workflow triggers. Rovo Studio allows users to build custom agents using natural language prompts, defining their role, instructions, and the specific skills (including MCP skills) they should use. The goal of these AI agents is to eliminate tedious manual work, such as context-switching between tools, allowing teams to focus on higher-value, strategic work. The platform emphasizes agent accountability by clearly showing which agent is working on a task and providing visibility into the process, ensuring humans remain in control. New features include 'Rovo Studio' (for building agents) and 'Rovo MCP Gallery' (for third-party skills), both available in early access.
