Atlassian is modernizing Confluence for the AI era, testing tools and agentic capabilities that give users the chance to turn their written notes into graphics and their ideas into software applications.
Key facts
- In March, the company announced it would lay off about 10 percent of its staff, cutting about 1,600 jobs to fund AI initiatives
- With Notebook LM, users run the risk of creating an isolated artifact
- with Remix, the output is always connected to the source content
- Notebook LM is great for multi-modal transformation, but it works in a vacuum
- Notebook LM, they said, is a single-player experience, while Remix outputs live inside Confluence where teams already work together
Summary
Each product is in its early stages and is being tested with a small group of customers before a wider deployment, an Atlassian spokesperson said via email. For employees, Remix with Rovo – Rovo is Atlassian's AI assistant – gives them several ways to present the data that they have housed inside Confluence, the company's team workspace for managing projects. “They can turn static docs, tables, or unstructured data into the format or workflow they need, tailored for the right audience or altitude — without leaving Confluence or opening a ticket,” the spokesperson told The Register. The product appears to work like Google’s Notebook LM, which can also manipulate several file types to present data as a podcast, graphics, or a slide deck.
