Atlassian and OpenAI have announced an expanded partnership to bring frontier models across Atlassian's platform and Rovo, helping teams plan, build, and deliver work. Building on a collaboration that began in 2023, the new agreement gives Atlassian expanded access to the latest OpenAI frontier models, including members of the GPT-6 family, GPT-6 Astra, and the GPT-5.6 series. According to the announcement, these models will power agents across Atlassian's platform and Rovo, which combines OpenAI intelligence with Atlassian's Teamwork Graph to connect people, projects, documents, and decisions. The integration allows tools like Rovo to draw on Jira tickets, Confluence documents, and discussions to assess launch readiness and surface engineering blockers. Additionally, Atlassian is broadening its own internal adoption of Codex and ChatGPT Enterprise, with more than 3,000 developers utilizing Codex across their workflows. Through plugins for ChatGPT and Codex, customers can also connect AI models to their existing workflows, subject to appropriate permissions. The companies are additionally exploring deeper integrations with Jira that would allow teams to assign work to AI agents and track progress while keeping humans in control, alongside leveraging Atlassian's DX platform to measure AI's impact on developer productivity and engineering performance.
Atlassian and OpenAI expand partnership to turn enterprise knowledge into action
Atlassian and OpenAI are expanding their partnership to integrate frontier models across Atlassian products and Rovo. The collaboration connects OpenAI intelligence with Atlassian Teamwork Graph to power workplace agents. Over 3,000 Atlassian developers already use Codex, and the new agreement brings GPT-6 family models and others to joint customers.
Why it matters
This partnership highlights the growing enterprise demand for embedding advanced reasoning models directly into proprietary workflow tools and context layers. It demonstrates how frontier AI can synthesize disparate corporate data to automate complex project management and software development tasks.
