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

Software giant Atlassian announced the launch of new AI tools and agents focused on transforming data into visual assets and applications. This includes the introduction of the visual tool Remix, which is currently available in open beta. Remix enables enterprises to convert the data and information stored in Atlassian's content collaboration software Confluence into assets such as charts and graphics. The tool will recommend the most suitable visual format for the data at hand and create these visual assets without requiring users to open another application or software.

Additionally, the company unveiled three new third-party agents that operate within Confluence using model context protocols (MCPs). One agent connects Confluence users to the popular coding tool Lovable, allowing them to turn product ideas and data into working prototypes. Another agent interfaces with app builder software Replit, enabling users to convert technical documents into starter apps. The third agent collaborates with AI presentation builder Gamma to create slides and other presentation materials.

Sanchan Saxena, senior vice president of teamwork collaboration at Atlassian, noted in a company blog post, “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.” He added that by removing friction, teams can do more than manage documents; they can create the next generation of products and experiences.

The new tools are part of Atlassian's effort to embed AI agents and tools directly into the applications workers are already using, rather than launching new software platforms. In February, the company added AI agents to its product management software Jira.

This follows a broader trend in the industry where companies are looking to integrate AI tools and agents directly into existing workflows. For instance, Salesforce was one of the first companies to launch a separate AI agent management platform, Agentforce, in 2024. Since then, it has released many of its AI innovations through existing software, such as its recent upgrade that turned the Slack messaging service chatbot into an AI agent.
