Something changed over the last year that most teams have not fully adjusted to yet. A year ago, one person on the team was often “the one using AI.” Today, almost everyone is. Designers have assistants. Engineers use Claude, Cursor, or both. Product teams run research through ChatGPT or Gemini. Marketing teams use AI to draft campaigns, and support teams use it to summarize issues and prepare responses. Individually, people are producing more than they were a year ago.

TLDR: Key updates: Rovo Search now provides AI-generated answers with citations, routes intent-aware queries in Jira, searches across 50+ connected tools, delivers richer visual results, and is embedded directly in Atlassian workflows. This blog summarizes improvements that have shipped over the past year to Rovo Search. Rovo Search keeps getting better over time! It is now approximately 60% faster than six months ago!

HR leaders are under pressure from two directions at once. Executives want proof that technology investments are generating returns. Employees want experiences that feel faster, more personal, and less frustrating. Meeting both expectations with the same initiative sounds ambitious — but organizations that measure AI impact against clear baselines and business outcomes are better positioned to do exactly that.

AI automation failures often start after deployment, when workflows, knowledge, handoffs, and measurement fall out of sync. Here’s how to recover without starting over.

AI agent builders create autonomous digital coworkers that take actions across tools. Here’s how they work, what to look for, and rollout tips.

Our Design Ops team supports more than 600 designers across Atlassian. And like most operations teams, we were seeing the same pattern over and over again: important questions landing in Slack, manual triage happening in the background, and too much useful knowledge trapped in docs that people either couldn’t find or didn’t have time to read. We built DOT, the Design Org Teammate, to change that.

Remember when “checking in” meant stopping by someone’s desk, not logging into surveillance software? Well, that world vanished overnight in 2020. Now, three years after offices emptied, companies face a workforce management crisis they never asked for — how to oversee employees without turning into Big Brother. The numbers show that before COVID hit, about 30% of large employers used monitoring tools. Today, that figure has doubled to 60%.
