Atlassian and OpenAI Expand Partnership to Integrate GPT-6 Family Models into Enterprise Workflows

Atlassian and OpenAI have expanded their partnership to integrate GPT-6 family frontier models across Atlassian’s platform, aiming to turn enterprise knowledge into actionable AI experiences. The new agreement powers agents in Rovo by combining OpenAI’s intelligence with Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, an enterprise context layer that connects people, projects, documents, and decisions.

Integration of Frontier Models

The partnership grants Atlassian expanded access to the latest OpenAI models, specifically GPT-6 Astra and the GPT-5.6 series. These models will drive reasoning capabilities within Rovo, allowing customers to use increasingly capable AI within their existing tools. For example, Rovo can connect Jira tickets, Confluence documents, and discussions to identify engineering blockers and assess launch readiness.

Internal Adoption and Developer Tools

Atlassian is also broadening its internal use of OpenAI products, with more than 3,000 Atlassian developers currently using Codex across terminals, IDEs, and code review workflows. Through plugins powered by the Teamwork Graph, these developers can access relevant work items and technical documentation to write, test, and ship software. The collaboration extends to external users via Atlassian and Teamwork Graph CLI plugins for ChatGPT and Codex, enabling connections to existing workflows subject to permissions.

Future Directions

Looking ahead, the companies are exploring deeper integrations with Jira to facilitate assigning work to AI agents, tracking progress, and capturing decisions. These capabilities will be paired with DX, Atlassian’s platform for measuring developer productivity, to help engineering leaders assess AI’s impact on development speed and cycle time while maintaining human oversight.
