Atlassian is expanding Confluence with two AI features that automatically convert existing content into other formats: Remix transforms text directly on the page into diagrams, infographics, or visual summaries. New partner agents forward content to external tools like Lovable, Replit, and Gamma – for example, to generate prototypes, starter projects, or presentations. Both features are based on the in-house AI platform Rovo.

With Remix, users mark any section on a Confluence page and have it converted into a visual format. Initially, diagrams, charts, and infographics are available, with more formats to follow. Alternatively, users describe the desired output using free-text prompts.

Remix is non-destructive: the original text remains, and the visual representation is layered on top. This eliminates manual reformatting for different target audiences – the content stays in one place but can be displayed in various ways. According to Atlassian, Confluence pages with at least one visual element are read by a broader audience 18 percent more often.

The new partner agents go a step further and push Confluence content directly into external applications. Initially, Atlassian is integrating three services: Lovable generates interactive prototypes from product specifications, Replit transforms technical documentation into runnable starter projects, and Gamma creates presentations from meeting notes. Users initiate the process via Rovo Chat without needing to manually copy content.

The agents transfer not only the pure text but also context information such as author, project affiliation, and linked decisions. Rovo obtains this metadata from the so-called Teamwork Graph, Atlassian's internal knowledge base with over 100 billion data points, according to the company. The results in the external tools remain linked to the Confluence source page.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) serves as the technical foundation. It allows external services to connect to Rovo as context-aware components. The protocol is openly documented – other providers can build their own agents without waiting for dedicated integration by Atlassian. Admins activate partner agents centrally via Atlassian administration under “Connected Apps” – without creating their own agents or scripting.

Remix is available immediately as an open beta for Confluence Cloud customers with Rovo licenses, with rollout over several weeks. The partner agents are also launching as an open beta and are expected to be available starting next week. More information can be found in Atlassian's announcement.
