The expanded agreement brings OpenAI’s GPT-6 family to Atlassian agents, while linking enterprise context with Rovo, ChatGPT and Codex workflows.
OpenAI and Atlassian expanded their partnership on October 6, 2026, under an agreement to use OpenAI models across Atlassian’s platform and Rovo. The companies say the arrangement is intended to support AI experiences for planning, building and delivering work, drawing on Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, which connects organizational information such as people, projects, documents and decisions.
Atlassian will have expanded access to OpenAI’s latest models, including GPT-6 Astra and the GPT-5.6 series. OpenAI models will power agents across Atlassian’s platform and Rovo, Atlassian’s AI product. The announcement also says Atlassian can use OpenAI APIs to bring newer reasoning capabilities into Rovo as models advance.
The companies point to existing use of their tools as part of the expanded collaboration. More than 3,000 Atlassian developers use Codex in terminal, integrated development environment and code-review workflows, according to the announcement. Atlassian plugins backed by the Teamwork Graph let Codex users draw on relevant work items and technical documentation. Customers can also connect ChatGPT and Codex to project information and development context through Atlassian and Teamwork Graph command-line interface plugins, subject to permissions.
An example in the announcement describes a product manager asking Rovo whether a launch is on track. Rovo could combine Jira tickets, Confluence documents and relevant discussions to identify blockers, missed milestones and decisions needing attention, then use OpenAI models to produce an assessment and suggested next steps. Atlassian also recently introduced a plugin extension that brings Jira work items, Confluence content and people into ChatGPT and Codex prompts. Its pinned Atlassian Home can surface assigned work, recent Looms, projects and Bitbucket pull requests.
Deeper Jira integrations remain under exploration, rather than a confirmed rollout. The companies are considering ways for teams to assign work to agents, track progress, record decisions and review results. They also describe possible use of Atlassian’s DX platform to measure development speed, cycle time and developer experience while keeping people in control. The partnership builds on a collaboration that began in 2023.
