Atlassian Intelligence - AI in Confluence and Jira
AI is on the rise and is already being used in numerous products. It was only a matter of time before Atlassian introduced it to Jira and Confluence.
What is Atlassian Intelligence?
Whether you work with Confluence, Jira Software, or Jira Service Management, Atlassian Intelligence supports you with your daily tasks: summarising meetings, defining new tasks, and even writing responses.

One of the main benefits of Atlassian Intelligence is providing institutional knowledge for Atlassian Cloud products, so users do not have to wonder what certain terms or concepts mean. Atlassian AI finds them if someone has already explained them in your Confluence knowledge base.
Another interesting feature of Atlassian Intelligence is that it understands natural language queries and provides immediate answers. As a user, you can ask questions the way you would ask a colleague, and the AI will respond with helpful information. Essentially, it is ChatGPT for your Confluence.
With Atlassian Intelligence, you can also perform queries, or searches, like a human. It converts natural language queries into JQL or SQL, making it easier to work with Jira Cloud products.
Atlassian Intelligence also offers virtual agents for Jira Service Management, available 24/7 on Slack and Microsoft Teams to help employees immediately and at any time. This means less waiting time and less work for users who need quick assistance.

Confluence Whiteboards
Everyone loves whiteboarding to gather ideas and work with colleagues on new concepts or urgent topics. Until now, we had to rely on a physical whiteboard or digital solutions such as Miro.
But now this (and more) is possible with Confluence.
As with Miro, you can collaborate in real time, illustrate your ideas with stickies, lines, sections and much more, and interact with your colleagues using stamps, polls and timers.
With Whiteboard in Confluence, you can now turn your ideas into actions. This is achieved through the deep integration of Whiteboard functionality in Jira and Confluence.
Suppose you have found a new set of tasks in your brainstorming session that you want to work on and track. With Confluence Whiteboards, you can now convert your stickies into Jira issues and/or Confluence pages, link Jira issues together to plan tasks, and edit Jira issues and Confluence pages without leaving your Whiteboard.

Work aspects such as Jira tasks, Confluence pages, due dates, status and much more are under your control in one place. It is the perfect solution to keep all your work in check and ensure it remains organised and under control.
What makes Confluence Databases special is the live synchronisation feature between databases and pages. Imagine always having the most up-to-date information at the click of a button, without tedious manual updates. A time-saver that guarantees you are always up to date.

BYOK - Bring-your-own-key encryption
Atlassian's Cloud products already feature first-class security measures, and customer data is always protected by keys managed by Atlassian in the WS Key Management Service (KMS).
As part of Team23, "Bring your own key (BYOK) encryption" was announced. This upgrade gives you the option to encrypt your Atlassian Cloud product data with keys securely stored in your own AWS account. This means you can manage your keys and revoke access whenever you see fit, whether for your end users or for Atlassian systems.
The benefits of BYOK:
- Reduced risk: BYOK acts as an additional security lock for your sensitive data, providing you with an extra layer of protection.
- Improved data management: Since your encryption keys are hosted in your AWS account, you can log and monitor access via AWS CloudTrail.
- Increased control: Say goodbye to vendor dependency when it comes to locking access. With BYOK, you are in charge.
