Atlassian launches visual AI tools and third-party agents in Confluence

Software giant Atlassian announced new AI tools and agents on Wednesday with a focus on turning data into visual assets and applications.

This includes the rollout of the visual tool Remix in open beta. Remix allows enterprises to turn the data and information stored in Atlassian’s content collaboration software Confluence into assets including charts and graphics.

Remix will recommend which visual format makes the most sense for the data or information at hand and create these visual assets without requiring the users to open another application or software.

The company also announced three new third-party agents that run within Confluence using model context protocols (MCPs).

One agent connects Confluence users to the vibe coding darling Lovable to turn product ideas and data into working prototypes. Another agent connects to app builder software Replit and allows users to convert technical documents into starter apps. The third agent works with AI presentation builder Gamma to build slides and other presentation materials.

“With Remix and 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,” Sanchan Saxena, senior vice president of teamwork collaboration at Atlassian, wrote in a blog post announcing the features. “When you remove that friction, teams do more than manage documents; they create the next generation of products and experiences.”

The new tools are the latest in Atlassian’s push to incorporate AI agents and tools directly into the apps workers are already using, as opposed to launching new software platforms. In February, the company added AI agents to its product management software Jira.

This follows a trend across the industry of companies looking to embed AI tools and agents directly into existing workflows as opposed to launching separate AI-powered software. While Salesforce was one of the first enterprises to launch a separate AI agent management platform, Agentforce, in 2024, its since released many of its AI innovations through existing software like its recent upgrade that turned messaging service Slack’s chatbot into an AI agent.

OpenAI is also leaning into this movement through its recent Frontier Alliances initiative. OpenAI partnered with four major consultant firms to task consultants with embedding OpenAI’s tech into their clients’ existing tech stacks and workflows as opposed to just selling them ChatGPT Enterprise subscriptions.

“Technology should fade into the background and let people focus on their best work,” Saxena wrote in the company’s blog post.
