OpenAI's GPT-6 models will power Atlassian's Rovo agents
Atlassian and OpenAI have expanded their partnership so that OpenAI models from the GPT-6 family will run agents across Atlassian's platform and its Rovo product, with Atlassian's Teamwork Graph supplying enterprise context.
Atlassian and OpenAI have signed a new agreement that puts OpenAI's frontier models behind agents across Atlassian's platform and Rovo. Under the deal, Atlassian gets expanded access to OpenAI's latest models, including GPT-6 Astra and the GPT-5.6 series.
Rovo pairs OpenAI models with Atlassian's Teamwork Graph, which the companies describe as an enterprise context layer linking people, projects, documents and decisions. In OpenAI's example, a product manager asks Rovo whether a launch is on track. Rovo then pulls together Jira tickets, Confluence pages and related discussions to flag blockers and missed milestones and to recommend next steps.
The partnership began in 2023. Atlassian is also increasing its own use of OpenAI tools: more than 3,000 of its developers use Codex in terminals, IDEs and code review, and the company is broadening its use of ChatGPT Enterprise. Atlassian and Teamwork Graph CLI plugins let ChatGPT and Codex users pull in Jira work items, Confluence content and development context, subject to permissions. OpenAI says it will keep using Jira to manage critical workflows inside the company.
The companies say they are "exploring" deeper Jira integrations, so teams can:
- assign work to AI agents
- track the agents' progress
- review the results
These features could be paired with DX, Atlassian's developer-productivity platform, to measure how AI affects cycle time and development speed.
The announcement does not disclose financial terms, how long the deal runs, or any timeline for the planned Jira agent features.
