Summary of the Opening Keynote

Cloud Momentum and Infrastructure

• The CEO (Mike Cannon-Brookes) strongly advocates for customers to migrate to the Atlassian Cloud Platform, calling it the “rocket ship” for teamwork compared to the older “car” of Data Center.
• Adoption in Europe: More than 98% of European customers are already on or beginning their journey to the Atlassian Cloud Platform. 75% of the most complex, most regulated customers are also on their way.
• Scale and Limits:
  • A single Jira site now supports up to 100,000 users.
  • The Confluence user limit is being raised to 250,000 users per site.
• Data Residency: Atlassian now supports 11 regions for data residency across its major apps.
• Customer Success Stories (Cloud Migration):
  • Deliveroo (UK): Responding to customers 30% faster.
  • Mercedes: Migrated 50,000 users across 250-260 different functions.
  • Nestlé: Live with over 2,000 brands and achieved a 10 times faster time to value.
• Infrastructure Investment: Over 120 new infrastructure improvements were shipped in the last year.
• Deployment Options: Includes the Commercial Cloud, Atlassian Government Cloud (with FedRAMP Moderate authorization and FedRAMP High/IL5 on the horizon), and Atlassian Isolated Cloud (single-tenant environment, available in any supported region starting early 2026).Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

• Admin Experience: Modernized admin experience with an intuitive sidebar, new global navigation, and a visual refresh, aimed at saving time for over 1 million Atlassian admins.

The Atlassian Teamwork Graph

• The Teamwork Graph is the platform’s data intelligence layer, relating work and creating connections.
• It currently tracks more than 100 billion objects and their connections. Over 1.5 billion objects are created or updated weekly by third-party partners.
• New Features:
  • Intelligent Feed: Within the home app, showing summaries, recommendations, and next steps across apps.
  • Connecting More Data: Via new Atlassian connectors (e.g., HubSpot, Databricks) and Marketplace connectors (e.g., Gitbook, Basecamp).
  • Graph APIs for Forge: Allows building unique apps and agents by querying the graph with custom business logic.
• Materializing the Graph with Assets: The Assets feature is being made a global platform app (not just for Jira Service Management), allowing every team to define, connect, and manage important business objects (digital and physical), linking them to the Teamwork Graph. This enables unified search, AI, and connected workflows across all object types.
• Goals and Teams Apps Momentum: Since launching a year ago, over 6 million teams have been created and nearly 1 million goals shared on the platform.

Rovo: Atlassian’s AI

  • Rovo’s monthly active users have grown more than 50-fold in the last six months.
  • 50+ connectors have been added since launch (latest include Databricks, DocuSign, HubSpot).
• Rovo Availability Expansion:
  • Rovo is now rolling out to more apps: Jira Product Discovery, Focus, Trello, Bitbucket, and Platform Apps.
  • It’s now available to all Standard Edition customers at no extra cost, not just Premium and Enterprise.
  • A Rovo Standalone Edition is rolling out in early access in December.
• Rovo Search:
  • Powers over 3 million users worldwide, making it one of the most widely used enterprise search engines.
  • 78% of users say Rovo is better than their past search experiences.
  • It provides permissioned, tailored search results. Since January, there’s been a 20% improvement in search relevance and a 35% improvement in performance.
  • Jira Integration: Rovo is becoming the default search experience in Jira, with a 6% improvement in quick find relevance and almost a 30% jump in full-page search relevance. Rovo Search in Jira will be available to all users by the end of the month.
• Rovo Chat:
  • File/Image Understanding: Can now understand files and images (e.g., a photo of a whiteboard) and organize the information into a table for follow-up.
  • Canvas: A new collaborative work surface inside chat allowing review and editing of Rovo’s responses.
  • Personal Memory: Rovo remembers user preferences, such as liking emojis, to tailor its responses.
  • Rovo Skills: Over 100 skills are launching, which are building blocks for specific tasks (like sending an email) invoked by users or agents.
• Rovo Studio:
  • A platform for makers to integrate AI into specific workflows, creating custom AI agents and automations.
  • New Skill: The ability to search the web in real-time is now available for agents and users.
  • Agent Automation: Agents can now be automated to run in response to specific triggers (e.g., querying the go-to-market insights agent every Monday at 9:00 a.m. and publishing a Confluence page).
