Atlassian Intelligence vs Rovo ⚔️

Nicolás Guzmán_rbmpn0

Hi everyone,

Since we already know that ROVO and Atlassian Intelligence (AI) are not the same. I would like to create this post to provide a space where the community can start listing all the differences they find over time.

I would like to start with the following question:

Since Rovo is available for all plans, can I purchase ROVO on an instance without Atlassian Intelligence (for instance, a Standard plan)?

Hi @Nicolás Guzmán,

I am not sure if you want an answer to your question, because you wrote you want to list the differences between Rovo and AI.

To answer your question:

Yes, you can, but you cannot use the full capabilities of Rovo Chat and Rovo Agents.

@Ben Dollinger can you elaborate at all on what capabilities would be limited in Rovo Chat and Agents? Thanks!

Ben Dollinger

@Grant Olson i will try to explain it.

Rovo Chat, which provides personalized responses and expert advice through natural conversations, relies on Atlassian Intelligence for its deep understanding of organizational context.

Similarly, Rovo Agents, which streamline complex processes and manage repetitive tasks, are powered by Atlassian Intelligence to enhance productivity and efficiency. Without this intelligence layer, these features would not be able to leverage the full potential of AI-driven insights and actions.

From my perspective, combining it with Atlassian Intelligence makes sense for maximizing Rovo's potential.

I see, thank you @Ben Dollinger . Would it be fair to say that if my organization had Atlassian AI in Jira but not in Confluence that the performance of Rovo would be significantly degraded when pulling information from Confluence Pages?

From my point of view, I find it a bit confusing to understand the combinations between different licensing plans and products.

To summarise and address my question, I have to say that:

1) If you have the Free or Standard Plan:

You can purchase Rovo, even if your instance doesn't have AI. However, Rovo's capabilities will be significantly reduced.

2) If you have the Premium or Enterprise plan:

With these plans you already have AI. However, it doesn't mean that you have Rovo.
You could additionally purchase Rovo, and it will perform much better with the capabilities of AI.
You could have an instance in Premium or Enterprise plans where AI has been deactivated, but Rovo has been purchased. In this scenario, you will be able to continue using Rovo, but with reduced capabilities.

Hi @Sherif Mansour

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Am I correct that based on the points above we can conclude that without the underlying support of Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo is mainly suitable to feed in the content and knowledge stored in external systems and provide the access to these information via 3rd-party integrations (aka connectors)? In other words, without Atlassian Intelligence, Rovo can exploit the capabilities of 3rd-party tools and the basic search in Jira, Confluence and JSM?

Thanks in advance,
Márton

Almost, @Nicolás Guzmán . Two clarify two points

You could additionally purchase Rovo, and it will perform much better with the capabilities of AI.

Yes. To be specific: You get, third-party search, AI chat and definitions as well as Agents

You could have an instance in Premium or Enterprise plans where AI has been deactivated, but Rovo has been purchased. In this scenario, you will be able to continue using Rovo, but with reduced capabilities.

Not quite. If AI is deactivated, Rovo respects that setting. So in this case the only thing that will work is third-party search (with no AI chat, answers etc..). Rovo respects your central AI setting. So you'd only want this if you didn't want AI enabled but wanted third-party content to appear in your search results.

Its really cool that @Sherif Mansour helped address this question, many thanks. And thank you @Nicolás Guzmán for asking it here and during the Get Started course. You've leveraged the community expertly.

@Sherif Mansour I am still a bit confused on using Rovo without Atlassian intelligence. I am planning to maybe use Rovo Chat to be able to look into my confluence documents, and answer my questions in human like interactive style. I don't need agents or automation tasks, so my use case is fairly limited. In this case, if I only use Rovo chat without Atlassian intelligence, will the contextual understanding capability of Rovo and the quality of its answers be reduced due to lack of Atlassian intelligence? I don't mind using the rovo chatbox without any intelligence tools appearing in various parts of jira and confluence. Or given my use case, is Atlassian intelligence enough?
