What can we learn?

Like many companies, Atlassian is adding artificial intelligence capabilities as another way to save you time and energy when using their software. Here’s a brief look at some capabilities that have launched so far. You’ll need a Cloud Premium or Enterprise plan to access these features.

If you don’t love writing JQL statements, now you can use AI to craft them for you. Simply type a question using natural language. I typed “watching not done” to find issues I’m watching that are not complete.

Atlassian Intelligence quickly turned my question into JQL and returned the list of relevant issues.

Question or phrase	JQL equivalent
watching not done	watcher = currentUser() AND statusCategory != Done

Here are some easy examples to try out Jira in your application.

Question or phrase	JQL equivalent
assigned to me	assignee = currentUser()
assigned to but not created by me	assignee = currentUser() AND reporter != currentUser()
incomplete tasks from 2024	issuetype = Task AND statusCategory != Done AND created >= "2024-01-01" AND created <= "2024-12-31"
created by [first last]	creator = [user’s ID]
due soon but not overdue	due >= now() AND due <= endOfWeek()
due next month	due >= startOfMonth("+1") AND due < endOfMonth("+1")
children of ISSUE-123	parent = ISSUE-123
missing assignee and in progress	assignee is EMPTY AND statusCategory = "In Progress"

Using AI to suggest JQL statements is also a great way to learn JQL!

Atlassian is adding new AI capabilities all the time. See the documentation for updates and details.
