Atlassian adds AI visuals & partner agents to Confluence

Atlassian has launched Confluence Remix, an update to its Confluence knowledge management software that adds AI tools for turning written content into visual formats.

It also introduced pre-built third-party agents connecting Confluence to Lovable, Replit and Gamma, allowing users to turn pages into prototypes, starter applications and presentations.

Now in open beta, Remix converts material in Confluence into charts, infographics, scorecards and presentation-ready summaries. Users can select a paragraph, table or full document and generate visuals within the page rather than exporting content to another application.

Remix keeps the original source material linked to each generated visual, allowing teams to maintain a single source of information while presenting it in different formats. It also suggests formats based on the content type and organisational usage patterns in Atlassian's Teamwork Graph.

The launch comes as software companies look for ways to make internal documentation easier to read and reuse, particularly as generative AI tools become part of everyday workplace systems. Atlassian cited research indicating that two-thirds of UK employees communicate complex ideas more clearly through visuals.

Partner tools

The new partner agents are built on Model Context Protocol, or MCP, an open standard designed to let AI systems connect with other software tools while preserving context. In Confluence, the first three agents link directly to partner services and can be launched from within the product.

The Lovable agent turns a product specification on a Confluence page into a working user interface prototype. The Replit agent converts a technical document into a starter application that an engineer can fork and build on. The Gamma agent transforms text in Confluence, including meeting notes or status pages, into a presentation.

Each agent can read page content and metadata before transferring that information into the partner tool, according to Atlassian. The output then links back to the original Confluence page. Administrators can enable a partner's MCP server in Atlassian Administration, after which the agent appears in the team's Rovo directory.

These are the first third-party agents available in Confluence, with more partners expected to follow. Atlassian said the agents are powered by Rovo, its AI offering, and are part of a broader push to build an open ecosystem of AI integrations around its software.

Wider push

Confluence is part of Atlassian's portfolio of workplace and software development tools, which also includes Jira and Loom. The latest additions show how Atlassian is trying to extend Confluence beyond documentation and make it a starting point for other forms of work, from executive presentations to product prototypes.

That approach reflects broader competition among workplace software providers to keep users inside their platforms for more stages of a project. By linking documents directly to design, coding and presentation tools, vendors are trying to reduce manual reformatting and copying between systems.

For Atlassian, MCP also carries strategic importance as technology companies increasingly debate whether AI assistants and agents should operate in closed environments or connect through shared standards. The company has positioned openness as central to its approach to AI integrations.

"Technology should fade into the background and let people focus on their best work," said Sanchan Saxena, SVP, Head of Product, Teamwork Collection, Atlassian. "With Remix and partner agents in Confluence, a single page becomes the starting point for whatever comes next: a clear story for leaders, a prototype for builders, or a walkthrough for customers, all from the same source of truth. As content flows effortlessly into tools like Lovable, Replit, and Gamma, the distance between an idea and a real outcome gets smaller. When you remove that friction, teams do more than manage documents; they create the next generation of products and experiences."

Atlassian presented the launch as part of a shift toward a more visual workplace, with generated charts, summaries and infographics intended to help teams absorb information more quickly. More visual formats are planned for Remix beyond the options available at launch.

"Atlassian has always been committed to an open ecosystem. We strongly believe that great teams don't work in walled gardens, they work on open platforms. MCP is how we bring that open ecosystem into the AI era," said Saxena.
