AI use is accelerating across the modern enterprise. Teams are moving faster. The barrier to building will continue to drop. But the cost of building the wrong thing is about to skyrocket, because teams can now ship more of it, faster. Atlassian’s State of Teams 2026 report found that 89% of executives say AI has increased the speed of work. But only 6% feel confident they can point to specific organisation-wide AI ROI.

I sat down with engineers who use AI coding agents for the vast majority of their implementation work. Stack Overflow’s 2025 Developer Survey found 84% of developers using AI agents for software development are using them for actual implementation work, so I wanted to understand what that looks like up close. What I heard reshaped how I think about where developer tools need to go next.

Simpplr has spent years building AI into the intranet. Search, smart answers, and content creation are among the many ways AI is woven into how employees work inside the platform. Now, we’re giving IT the governance layer to match.

People analytics is no longer a “nice to have” because it has become the operating system of the modern HR function. Boards now ask CHROs for the same rigour that their CFOs deliver, which means numbers, trends, forecasts, and a clear line from workforce decisions to revenue.

As organizations work to bring humans, agents, and automation together, teamwork is getting even more complex. If your AI strategy feels like a collection of one-off experiments layered onto disconnected tools and siloed knowledge, join Atlassian leaders to see how Teamwork Collection brings together Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo into a connected foundation for human-AI collaboration at scale.
