Dr Valeri Colon (Connect Centric) Community Champion

This discussion started with a question from @Darryl Lee that catches many Enterprise customers off guard: If our JSM is on a different site (but in the same Atlassian organization) as our Jira site with Rovo, isn't there a connector for it? If Enterprise supports multiple sites, shouldn't Rovo be able to search across…

A Champions Slack discussion started when @Arkadiusz Wroblewski shared a Community post with a provocative title: Has anyone else noticed AI usage killing your Jira instances? Short Answer Yes—but usually not in the way people think. For most organizations, normal Rovo usage is unlikely to overwhelm Jira or Jira Service…

A Champions Slack discussion started when @Ciara Twomey Nielsen noticed something unexpected while trying to create a new page. Instead of getting a blank page option, she was presented with a "Create with Rovo" experience. At first glance, this looked like a minor user interface change but it raised a bigger question:…

A discussion started when @Nick Turner asked: Has anyone built anything of worth using the App Builder in Studio yet? On the surface, it sounds like a question about app ideas and use cases, but the conversation quickly turned into something more interesting: How much prior knowledge do you actually need to build apps…

This discussion started when @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ shared what appeared to be a significant capability improvement: Did you know that Rovo Chat and Agents can read existing Jira attachments nowadays? Initial testing looked promising. PDFs and images appeared to be working, and the use case was compelling: validating…

Remember the April 9th Champions Slack Insider asking whether Rovo could be tricked by malicious files? Well...the Champions Slack gave us a reason for a follow-up. @Josh Steckler kicked things off by sharing a report from a security vendor demonstrating a scenario in which Rovo could potentially be manipulated through…

With Atlassian planning to end support for Connect in December 2026, many enterprise administrators are evaluating their Marketplace apps to understand potential impacts and plan ahead. I recently completed a Forge readiness assessment for a large enterprise organization with a substantial Marketplace footprint. The goal…

Thank you to everyone contributing as Rovo adoption continues to mature. Since my June review, questions have increasingly focused on MCP implementation, agent reliability, Rovo Dev, and more. 🌟 Top Contributors 🏅 @Arkadiusz Wroblewski — holding the top spot with guidance across MCP, agents, administration,…

A discussion started when @Susan Hauth _Jira Queen_ raised a challenge many administrators are beginning to face: Our developers keep asking for API tokens because they're hitting limitations with MCP and AI tools. We don't allow personal API tokens. What are others doing? The responses quickly moved beyond MCP and into a…

A seemingly simple question sparked a surprisingly complex discussion: If Rovo Studio creates an app for me, who owns the code? The question surfaced when @Darryl Lee downloaded the source code for a Rovo Studio-generated app and noticed a LICENSE file containing Atlassian copyright language. Why This Question Matters For…

A discussion started when @John Funk shared a frustrating experience building a Forge app with AI assistance. What should have been a simple "no-code" experience turned into hours of debugging, deployment issues, deprecated APIs, and conflicting guidance. The underlying question quickly became: How close are we to…

By @Fabio Genovese _ArtigianoDelSoftware_, with contributions from @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ and me, Valeri Colón A discussion started by Fabio highlighted a question many teams are beginning to encounter as they expand Rovo into customer-facing experiences: If an agent can create a ticket in Studio, shouldn't it be able…

A discussion sparked by @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ illustrated a growing challenge: As terms like Studio, Forge, MCP, Teamwork Graph, Teamwork Graph CLI, and Rovo Dev CLI appear more frequently in conversations, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand how they relate to one another. The technology itself is…

A recent Champions Slack discussion started when @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ shared Atlassian's new AI Data Contribution documentation. The reaction was immediate. For many organizations, one of the selling points during early Rovo adoption conversations was that customer content would not be used to train external AI…

Thank you to everyone contributing during a period marked by rapid growth in Rovo adoption, expanding MCP usage, increased experimentation with agents and automation, and growing interest in governance, observability, and enterprise-scale deployment. 🌟 Top Contributors (the official leaderboard is back!) 🏅 @Arkadiusz…

This question from @Darryl Lee explores a growing curiosity in the ecosystem: “Is it worth using a third-party MCP server that’s more feature-rich than Rovo MCP?” What’s the difference between Rovo MCP and third-party MCP servers? Short Answer: Third-party MCP servers often expose more flexibility, while Rovo MCP is more…

This thread sparked by @Paulo Ramalho gets at a very practical question: if a customer wants to surface Rovo in the JSM portal, what can it actually do well today? Paulo tested one of the most obvious quick wins: helping users choose the correct request type. The challenge is that Rovo does not reliably generate valid…

Another thread started by @Darryl Lee gets at a very real enterprise concern: “Has anyone actually hit the indexed object limits when connecting large systems like SharePoint, OneDrive, or Google Drive?” What teams are actually experiencing Short Answer: Most enterprises do not hit the limit first; they hit indexing…

This thread sparked by @Darryl Lee is one of those moments that makes you pause “I asked Rovo to reformat a page… and it archived it.” Not partially updated. Not formatted incorrectly. Archived. What actually happened The flow was simple: User asks Rovo to reformat a page Rovo suggests a table format User refines: “Two…

This thread turned into a full connector reality check fueled by @Susan Hauth _Jira Queen_ and @Yong Yang : “I connected GitHub… but indexed objects = 0.” Let’s walk through what’s actually happening—and what else surfaced along the way. If your connector shows “0 indexed objects” Start here: It’s usually not broken, it’s…

This thread sparked by @Ciara Twomey Nielsen gets at a very practical (and slightly frustrating) question: Why can’t Rovo return the users of a space—even when I can see them in the UI? What’s actually happening Short Answer: Space membership is not a first-class, queryable object in the Teamwork Graph today. Even though…

This one is less about features… and more about reality from @Paulo Ramalho: “We built great Rovo agents—but no one uses them.” If you’re working with large organizations, this probably sounds familiar. The real problem isn’t building agents—it’s finding them In theory: Users can switch agents Search for them Bookmark…

This is a big one for enterprise teams from @Paulo Ramalho : “Can Rovo index SharePoint intranet pages—not just documents?” Short answer: No, not today. And you’re not missing anything. What the SharePoint connector actually does Today, the Rovo SharePoint connector can index: Documents (Word, PDF, etc.) Files stored in…

This question from @Fabio Genovese _ArtigianoDelSoftware_ comes up more often than you’d think—especially for teams with visual-heavy documentation: “Can Rovo analyze images in KB articles and describe diagrams for users?” Short answer: Not reliably (yet). What Rovo can do today Rovo can: Reference KB articles that contain…

This one from @Madhusudhan Matrubai catches people off guard: “I asked Rovo to duplicate a Confluence page… and it recreated it in XML format.” Let’s unpack what’s going on. What happened The request was straightforward: Duplicate a page Remove task items Rename it with a new date Rovo: Created the page with the correct…

This thread started by @Darryl Lee can be summarized in one word: “IN. CON. SIS. TEN. CY!” Let’s break down what’s actually happening. The questions Is “Edit Confluence Page” in Rovo the same as Automation append? Why does formatting (like tables) look correct in chat but break on the page? Can we force a follow-up prompt…

Thank you to everyone contributing during a period with a noticeable increase in activity, experimentation, and platform changes.
