Atlassian team'25 highlights: The future of teamwork is starting now with Rovo AI and the evolving Atlassian platform

TEAM XALT just returned from Atlassian team'25 and we are excited to share some of the most exciting highlights and insights with you. We are currently experiencing first-hand how teamwork is rapidly changing - driven by artificial intelligence, seamless platform integration and the growing need for flexibility in today's hybrid working world.

One message stood out clearly at the event: The future is modular, AI-supported and open. A central force in this development is Rovo - Atlassian's AI platform, which is designed to take teamwork to a new level.

In this article, we give you an exclusive preview of what Atlassian customers can expect.

The cloud - built for every industry

Atlassian invests heavily in Cloud solutions for regulated industries. That's why Atlassian now offers three options within the cloud:

• Atlassian Commercial Cloud
• Government Cloud (Beta)
• Isolated Cloud (from 2026)

The Government Cloud is built for Government customers and partners. It meets federate moderate requirements and operates in a separate cloud environment to keep government data secure.

The Atlassian Isolated Cloud (market launch 2026) is a single-tenant option with isolated computing, storage and network infrastructures. It is aimed at customers who have higher protection requirements and need a dedicated infrastructure.

Both variants receive all the innovations of the Commercial Cloud. Cloud customers benefit from a modern system of work that is supported by networked, AI-based apps and the Teamwork Graph is made possible - a unified, intelligent data store that understands relationships between people, work and content.

Rovo for everyone - AI at the core of team collaboration

With Rovo, Atlassian is making intelligent search, AI agents, and seamless workflows accessible to all – at no extra cost for Jira, Confluence, or JSM users. This is applicable for Premium and Enterprise customers from now on and will be rolled out to Standard plans later this year.

Non-Atlassian users can also use Rovo for just 5 $/month.

Rovo includes the following apps:

• Rovo Search retrieves relevant information distributed across Atlassian tools, third-party SaaS applications (3P) and other data sources - while ensuring data security. It serves as a central app to locate knowledge and enables quick access to distributed information within an organization, increasing productivity and supporting more informed decisions.
  Rovo Search is now available with over 50 integrated connectors which feed even more data into the Teamwork Graph and expand your knowledge.
  In addition Connectors for Data Center versions of Confluence (already available) and Jira (available soon). This will make your entire historical database accessible in one place and via a single search app.

• Rovo Chat delivers customized and relevant search and chat results across enterprise data sources - from both Atlassian tools (1P) and third-party applications (3P) that work with the Teamwork Graph are connected.
  The knowledge is made directly usable - through actions that can be seamlessly integrated into the workflow, e.g. creating Jira issues, adding comments or updating status values.

• NEW Rovo StudioAn app that allows power users and builders to create AI agents, automate processes and develop Jira elements with low-code/no-code tools.

New Atlassian Collections for teams

New product packages offer toolsets for different use cases with a transparent pricing model.
