Atlassian Corporation has announced the open beta of agents in Jira, embedding AI agents directly into the platform where teams plan and track work. This capability allows users to assign tasks to Atlassian Rovo agents and MCP-enabled third-party agents, collaborate iteratively through @mentions in comments, and incorporate agents into automated workflows—ensuring agent-driven activities remain visible, coordinated, and aligned with existing business processes.
The release positions Atlassian as a central hub for orchestrating work across humans, AI agents, tools, and cross-functional teams, reducing fragmentation and chaos that often accompany disconnected AI experiments.
Agents in Jira bring AI capabilities into the core of team workflows, turning experimental tools into reliable contributors. By operating within Jira’s structured environment, agents maintain accountability while accelerating productivity—handling tasks such as designing, executing, and updating work items alongside human team members.
This integration addresses the growing complexity of modern work, where teams increasingly orchestrate across multiple agents and systems. Atlassian’s approach ensures agents enhance rather than disrupt established processes.
“Work is changing fast: people are now orchestrating across agents, tools, and cross-functional teams. Without clear coordination that can easily turn into chaos,” said Tamar Yehoshua, Chief Product and AI Officer at Atlassian. “We’re focused on helping teams turn that complexity into real productivity. With these new capabilities, we’re bringing agents into the tools and workflows customers already love and trust, and giving them an open, governed way to make those agents part of the team at enterprise scale.”
Atlassian is deepening its commitment to an open AI ecosystem through Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that enables consistent access to tools, data, and workflows across agents.
Key advancements include:
These enhancements empower enterprises to build richer, cross-tool agent workflows while maintaining governance and control.

The release reinforces Atlassian’s role in enabling scalable human-AI collaboration within trusted enterprise tools.
