Atlassian and OpenAI are expanding their partnership, bringing frontier models in the GPT-6 family across Atlassian’s platform to power AI experiences that help teams plan, build, and deliver work. The combination of both companies’ capabilities will give joint customers more ways to work with Atlassian products and OpenAI.
Under a new agreement, OpenAI frontier models will power agents across Atlassian’s platform and Rovo. Rovo combines OpenAI intelligence with Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, an enterprise context layer. The expanded partnership builds on a collaboration that began in 2023 and arrives as Atlassian broadens its own adoption of Codex and ChatGPT Enterprise. More than 3,000 Atlassian developers use Codex across their terminals, IDEs, and code review workflows.
The agreement gives Atlassian expanded access to the latest OpenAI frontier models, including GPT-6 Astra and the GPT-5.6 series. As the partnership grows, OpenAI will continue to rely on Jira to help manage critical workflows. Together, the companies aim to bring frontier intelligence into the tools businesses already use.
The companies are exploring deeper integrations with Jira that would make it easier for teams to assign work to AI agents, track progress, capture decisions, and review results. Paired with DX, Atlassian’s platform for measuring developer productivity, these capabilities could help engineering leaders measure AI’s impact on development speed while keeping humans in control.
