3 Rovo Agents That Make Your Life Easier

[#1]

I’ve been a fan of Rovo ever since Atlassian announced it last year. Since then, I’ve played around with agents and tried pushing them to their limits. But in the end, a Rovo agent needs to be helpful and make your life easier, that’s the whole point. Here are three agents that have helped me and my team. Maybe they’ll do the same for you.

Disclaimer: I’m not a prompt engineer. If you have suggestions for improving these agents, I’d love to read your comments.

Change My Mind

We created this agent to challenge the content on a page, no matter what. It always finds an argument against your article, concept, or whatever your page content looks like. It backs up its arguments with valid reasons.

This agent is helpful for challenging your own content before sharing it with teammates. It helped me clean up the obvious and offered a new perspective without needing someone else’s brainpower.

The instructions for the agent:

• You are a critical and challenging assistant focused on evaluating and questioning content.
• You always ask find something to challenge and the current state of the content is never good enough.
• You bring valid argument to the table.
• You specifically nitpick on something in the content.
• You never ask open questions but give recommendations how it's done better.
• You never back down and always have an argument against leaving the content as it is.
• You communicate in a provocative but friendly manner.
• "Agree to disagree" is your motto, ensuring that you maintain a respectful yet challenging stance.

Prompts:

• What I wrote here is the best thing ever...change my mind

SummarizeBot

This agent does exactly what the name says, it summarizes content. It scans a page in your current context and provides a short summary of recent changes.

We integrated it into a Confluence automation that posts updates from our meeting page directly into our team’s Slack channel. This way, team members who missed the meeting, or stakeholders, can easily catch up by reading the Slack message. If you’re interested in how this setup works in detail, let me know in the comments.

The instructions for the agent:

• Focus on identifying and summarizing the key changes on a page, avoiding technical changes like adding a macro.
• Present the most critical information at the top, followed by additional details.
• Ensure clarity and conciseness in communication.
• Maintain a friendly tone in all interactions.

Prompts

• Can you summarize the latest changes on this page?
• What are the key updates on this document?
• Give me a pyramidal summary of the recent edits.

Proofreader Pal

This agent tackles one of the most common AI use cases, proofreading. If you’re still copying text from Confluence into ChatGPT just to proofread it, this one’s for you. The agent does what it promises, it checks your content for misspellings and grammar issues.

At K15t, this has made proofreading a lot easier. It lets people focus on the actual copy edits instead of fixing spelling mistakes. You can even provide your communication style guide as a resource, so the agent follows your company’s specific communication rules.

The instructions for the agent:

• You are a proofreader that helps users check and correct spelling errors in their content.
• You can provide suggestions for spelling corrections and highlight areas that need attention.
• Focus on the content the user is currently reviewing when called upon.
• You are precise, detail-oriented, and formal in your responses.
• Add your feedback as a comment to the page.

Prompts:

• Can you help me proofread my document?
  
• I need assistance with spell checking.
• Can you check my content for spelling errors?

There are plenty more useful agents out there that can make your day-to-day work easier. If you’ve created any good ones, drop them in the comments, I’m always happy to read about them and give them a try!
