📦 Introducing Artifacts: A new app to host your AI-generated files, now in open beta

philoye

👋 Hi Atlassian Community!

AI agents, including Rovo or external agents like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor, have become incredible partners at generating files, like interactive HTML dashboards, data models in CSV, planning docs in Markdown, and reports in PDF.

The problem? Those agent-generated files usually end up hidden in chats or buried on your desktop.

Sharing them often means downloading and then uploading into a Slack thread or email, losing context, dealing with multiple versions, and no discoverability.

We’re thrilled to announce Artifacts, now in open beta. Artifacts is a new platform app that gives teams a secure, centralized, and trusted place to store, share, embed, and discover AI-generated files across your entire Atlassian workspace.

📦 What is an artifact?

An artifact is any file generated during an AI session or automated workflow. It could be:

An interactive HTML report, visual dashboard, or scenario calculator built in Rovo Chat
A formatted CSV data export or spreadsheet created by a Rovo agent
A markdown doc, PDF, presentation, or media asset published by a Codex agent

Instead of living as temporary downloads or in chat messages, artifacts are persistent, cloud-hosted files designed to flow seamlessly through your team’s workspace.

✨ Key capabilities of the Artifacts App

🔗 Artifacts can be embedded anywhere via Smart Links
- Simply paste the artifact URL into a Confluence page, Jira work item, or comment to display it as an inline link, a rich card, or a fully interactive embed.
🔒 Granular sharing & permissions. Control who sees your work:
- Restricted: Only visible to you or specific colleagues.
- Anyone with a link: Visible to anyone in your organization that has the URL.
- Open: Visible to anyone in your organization and appears in Rovo Search.
🔄 Versioning
- You can ask your agent to update your artifacts, and everyone else will always see the latest.
🔍 Artifacts are discoverable in Rovo Search & powered by the Teamwork Graph
- Artifacts are added to the Teamwork Graph. They surface in Rovo Search and feed context back into future agent sessions.
🤖 Works across your favorite AI tools
- Rovo Search: Files created in Rovo Chat are automatically created as artifacts.
- Atlassian MCP and Teamwork Graph CLI: Connect external agents like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to generate and upload artifacts
- Manual upload: Drop files directly in the Artifacts app interface.

🛠️ Try It Out

Open the app: Look for Artifacts in your Atlassian app switcher (top-left grid icon).
Generate or upload an artifact:
- With Rovo and “Think Deeper” or “Work” (in early access) enabled, use a prompt like:
  - “Create an interactive meeting cost calculator, with controls for attendees, duration, and hourly rate, plus weekly/annual projections.”
- With any agent using Atlassian MCP, ask it:
  - “Create an interactive meeting cost calculator, with controls for attendees, duration, and hourly rate, plus weekly/annual projections. Use Atlassian MCP v2 to upload it to Atlassian Artifacts.”
Embed & share: Copy your artifact link and paste it into a Confluence page or Jira work item.

Don’t see Artifacts? During open beta, the Artifacts app is available for all cloud sites with Jira and a paid subscription. We will be opening up access further over time.

💬 We want your feedback!

You can help shape the future for how teams create and collaborate with AI artifacts.

Yay :)

Hi @philoye

Super excited to roll this out in our org.

I tried to upload an artifact to it through claude but it failed.

Claude response on why it could not upload and whether atlassian MCP v2 is connected.

Yes, Atlassian MCP v2 is connected and authenticated. A read-only check just returned one accessible site, <our atlassian site link> with read-write access to Jira and Confluence.

Nothing in that list shows an Artifacts product for the connection, which fits what I found earlier: v2 has no operation to upload to Atlassian Artifacts.

What am i missing?

Nikola Perisic

It's not available still to me :(

Florian Bonniec

Not available yet on my side but it will be a great addition and looking forward to discover it.

Fazila Ashraf

Just to confirm, i do have the artifacts beta app in our atlassian site where the MCP is connected to and i could manually upload the artifacts already. Its the MCP route that fails

Tomislav Tobijas

Yeah, I think MCP still doesn't support it (we tried on several sites that have the Artifacts app available), but I'm guessing it will be possible in the upcoming days/weeks 🔜

Fazila Ashraf

But the product says it is capable 😅 They have to log it as a bug somewhere or correct their product info and documentations.

Anwesha Pan

Not available on my end as well ☹️

philoye

Sorry @Nikola Perisic. Do you see the app at <sitename>.atlassian.net/artifacts? Or are you having trouble with Atlassian MCP?

philoye

Sorry you're running into trouble.

If you've previously authorised Atlassian MCP v2, you may have not have authorised the new scope, as a first step is to just reauth the connection.

If that does not work, your Administrator maybe turned off auto-toolset enablement and will need to confirm they have approved the new Artifacts toolset in the Atlassian MCP section in Atlassian Administration.

Tomislav Tobijas

Hi @philoye ,

Quick question — which exact toolset are we looking at here? For example, for write ones, I have the following (on all instances I've checked); 15 in total:

write_assets
write_bitbucket
write_capacity_planning
write_compass
write_confluence
write_focus
write_goals 🙌
write_jira
write_jsm
write_loom
write_projects 🙌
write_talent
write_teams
write_teamwork_graph
write_trello

Fazila Ashraf

Thanks @philoye ! Tried reconnecting the MCP. Didnt help. As an atlassian org admin, i look at the Atlassian MCP server permissions and do not find any to enable that is related to artifact app.

Could you confirm the permission to enable the read, search and write operations on the artifact app?

Nikola Perisic

Hi @philoye , I see this.

ALICE CAUDY

Hi,

Could you provide file type supported ?

Here our feedbacks :

give abilty to share artifacts with groups and teams
give permissions on sharing : view only, edit/delete artifact
add folders to organize
integrate artifact as image header in confluence and cover image on work item in jira

Bugs noticed :

can't preview png file type (maybe this type isn't supported)
rovo chat can't read artifact (png,html) as context, it ask to upload file
my teamates don't see my artifacts (open) in "shared with you"

Tomislav Tobijas

@Fazila Ashraf I did manage to get one step forward and get to this (although I haven't changed anything apart from checking the toolset in Atlassian Administration) 🤔

This is an interesting direction, especially for reports and dashboards that need to remain accessible beyond the original AI conversation.

One question around permissions: if an agent generates an artifact using information from restricted Confluence pages or Jira issues, does the artifact inherit any of those access restrictions?

I'm thinking particularly about CSV exports or interactive dashboards that consolidate information from several sources. It would be useful to understand how Artifacts prevents users from accidentally sharing information beyond its original audience.

Gabe Mallow

Oh, cool stuff

Anwesha Pan

Hi @philoye

I see this error

philoye

Your site looks like a demo site, currently Artifacts is limited to paid customers only. We are looking to broaden access over time.

philoye

Currently Artifacts is restricted to paid sites that have Jira, we are looking to broaden access throughout the Beta period.

philoye

Hi Mia,

No inherited permissions. You'll need to set the permissions on the artifact itself.

philoye

Hi Alice,

You can upload any file type. Thumbnail support is limited to HTML only. For the artifacts details screen, we can render HTML, images, markdown, csv, pdf. More file types on the way.
For sharing, we only support view permissions. We are looking to expand this over time.
Folders / cover images: Thanks for your feedback on this one.
Rovo chat reading artifact content. That is on the way.
Sharing open artifacts. This is good feedback. This section is populated with explicitly shared items only (named people in the sharing dialog).

Thanks for the feedback!

John Dunkelberg

I'm curious on the defined goal of "agent-generated" artifacts, which it seems the same use case would be true for human generated artifacts as well. These artifacts will then be another place for storage alongside issue attachments, confluence pages (and their attachments), as well as pointers to Git repos and the like. This new storage capability will then need to also have all the same infrastructure concerns for any of those places - such as the versioning and permissions mentioned in the article and comments.

As such, I think it may be a hard sell as to why to store things as an artifact instead of the other already established options, except for the human UI convenience. But a UI improvement on connecting to all those other locations (especially an external GitLab/GitHub report) seems the broader solution to the problem case.

philoye

Thanks for the perspective @John Dunkelberg. Atlassian has long had a way to store files as attachments on work items, pages, etc. and you are definitely correct there are no shortage of of other ways to store files (cloud storage providers, git, etc.). One thing we've found missing is really the ability to share and discover these. If you create an ad-hoc calculator or a one-off report, how do you get it in front of other people (not as raw HTML but fully rendered)? We don't think Artifacts should be used an alternative cloud file storage solution.

John Dunkelberg

So, aren't you making the problem worse by adding yet another storage location you might need to add to the discovery algorithm? Your problem statement doesn't seem to match the solution you're proposing.

To quote the article, an artifact could be:

An interactive HTML report, visual dashboard, or scenario calculator built in Rovo Chat
A formatted CSV data export or spreadsheet created by a Rovo agent
A markdown doc, PDF, presentation, or media asset published by a Codex agent

The first example I could see being ephemeral. The second and third sounds like data that needs to be backed up, permissioned, etc.

Gal Fatal

Not working for me. I don't see the Artifacts app in the list, and YOUR-SITE.atlassian.net/artifacts isn't working either.
