From Ambiguous Questions to Action: Research Mode in Rovo Dev CLI
Not every developer question starts as a coding task. Sometimes the hard part is figuring out where to look: Jira for work history, code for implementation truth, Confluence for product context, or pull requests for how decisions landed. Research Mode in Rovo Dev CLI came from that experience. What shipped We shipped Research Mode as […]
Accelerated frontend development with RovoDev in a practical example
How it started What happens when a project estimated at two to three quarters gets built in 14 working days? In 2022, the team built App Updates, a feature that gives organization admins access to release notes about Atlassian changes and controls over how they’re delivered (Keep up with changes | Atlassian Support). It was […]
Rovo Dev in Jira as my Spec Driven executor
Intro – my standard flow In my daily work, I have consistently followed the same workflow (also before AI era). With this method, I consistently retained sufficient context to resume implementation – even after weeks of delay – without needing to rediscover information from scratch. Enter AI: the same flow, supercharged The fundamental flow hasn’t […]
Install once, use everywhere: Multi-app compatibility is now live on the Marketplace
Have you ever gone to the Atlassian Marketplace looking for an app that works with both Jira and Confluence? Maybe you found the perfect solution for Jira, only to then hunt down a separate Confluence listing and repeat the entire installation process from scratch. It’s natural to expect Marketplace apps to offer the same cross-platform […]
Rovo Dev Driven Development – How we built a platform in 4 weeks
What We’re Building We’ve built a platform that will be the secure execution engine behind Atlassian’s AI agent infrastructure. As part of this we needed a way to run Firecracker microVM orchestrator on Kubernetes. So we built a system for it called Fireworks. You submit an OCI container image and a command, and it boots […]
Build smarter with Claude Opus 4.7 and deep Atlassian context in Rovo Dev
For a limited time, Rovo Dev Standard customers can use Claude Opus 4.7 with a lower credit multiplier.
Rovo Dev in Frontend Platform Engineering – AI for small tasks, AI for big tasks
Rovo Dev can help a lot with many common platform tasks – one of them which I have stumbled upon most recently is migration from library A → library B (outdated styled-components to Compiled css-in-js). For migration-type of tasks the execution can take significant amount of time, despite the work being quite repetitive (however nuanced […]
Enhancing Developer Workflow with Rovo Dev and Notifications
Why notifications matter for flow Context switching has always been the bane of software engineers, and deep work dies by a thousand paper cuts, such as waiting on long-running tasks, tool permissions, or test runs nudging you to alt-tab. This has become even more prelevant in the age of AI assisted coding. Notifications Timely, relevant […]
How Amdahl’s Law still applies to modern-day AI inefficiencies
Discover how a computer science theory from 1967 may be a compass for AI-driven productivity gains across the enterprise.
Agent Context Pruning: How Rovo Dev keeps long sessions useful
AI agents become more useful as they work through longer tasks. But longer tasks also create a memory problem. A serious coding agent accumulates a growing trail of context: user requests, assistant responses, tool arguments, tool results, file contents, search results, workspace views, and intermediate reasoning steps. Over time, that history can become large enough […]
MCP Compression: Preventing tool bloat in AI agents
Model Context Protocol (MCP) has made it dramatically easier to connect LLM agents to real tools. The trade-off is that every MCP server tends to bring along a large bundle of tool descriptions and schemas, and those tokens are expensive. In Rovo Dev, we found that if you simply expose every tool from every server […]
Delivering 120 PRs in two weeks with Rovo Dev in Jira
I’ve had a pretty good experience with our Rovo Dev in Jira solution in the past few weeks. I estimate that I do probably 95% or more of my dev work in it nowadays. I found it super helpful to delegate low to medium complexity tasks to the coding agent while I do something else […]
Using Rovo Dev in VS Code for Architecting Solutions
When we intend to roll out a new software solution that would impact multiple teams, before implementation can start, we need to get overall alignment from all involved parties, and then detail the chosen architectural approach. Every single one of these steps can be challenging – but we have found ways to speed up every […]

From Days to Hours: Accelerated K8s Debugging with Rovo Dev CLI
The Problem We Faced It started with a blocked Jira ticket when two of our service teams tried to onboard their services onto our Google Cloud Platform-based system. Both teams use my team provisioned self-hosted OpenSearch clusters. The cluster provisioned fine, but services hit mysterious 404 errors: same calls always worked from my laptop; our […]
