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 rolling out the Remix visual tool in open beta. Remix allows organizations to transform data and information stored in Atlassian Confluence’s content collaboration software into assets including charts and graphics.

Remix will recommend the most logical visual format for the available data or information and create these visual assets without requiring users to open another application or program.

The company also announced three new third-party agents that operate within Confluence using Model Context Protocols (MCPs).

An agent connects Confluence users with the engaging coding darling Lovable to turn product ideas and data into working prototypes. Another agent connects to the application creation software Replit and allows users to convert technical documents into raw applications. The third agent works with the AI-based presentation builder Gamma to create slides and other presentation materials.

“With Remix and agents in Confluence, one page becomes the starting point for whatever comes next: a clear story for leaders, a prototype for builders, or a step-by-step guide for customers, all from the same source of truth,” Sanshan Saxena, senior vice president of teamwork collaboration at Atlassian, wrote in a blog post announcing the features. “When you remove this friction, teams do more than just manage documents; they create the next generation of products and experiences.”

The new tools are the latest in Atlassian’s push to integrate AI agents and tools directly into applications workers already use, rather than launching new software platforms. In February, the company added AI agents to its Jira product management software.

This follows a trend across the industry of companies looking to integrate AI tools and agents directly into existing workflows rather than launching separate AI-powered software. While Salesforce was one of the first organizations to launch a separate AI agent management platform, Agentforce, in 2024, it has since released several of its own AI innovations through existing software such as its recent upgrade that turned the messaging service Slack’s chatbot into an AI agent.

OpenAI is also leaning into this movement with its recent Frontier Alliances initiative. OpenAI has partnered with four major consulting firms to task consultants with integrating OpenAI technology into their clients’ existing technology stacks and workflows rather than just selling them ChatGPT Enterprise subscriptions.

“Technology should fade into the background and allow people to focus on their best work,” Saxena wrote in a company blog post.
