AI and Rovo Platform: Building Our First Rovo Agent
Details
What actually happens when you build your first Rovo agent? Come find out.
We're pulling back the curtain on our real-world experience with Atlassian's Rovo platform — the wins, the surprises, and the moments we didn't see coming. This isn't a polished vendor demo. It's an honest look at what it takes to bring an AI agent to life inside the Atlassian ecosystem, shared by Filip Tomaszewski and Yuri Kudyn of Release Management Apps, the people who built it.
Whether you're Rovo-curious, already experimenting with AI in Jira or Confluence, or just want to learn from someone else's trial and error, this session is for you.
Expect:
A firsthand walkthrough of building a Rovo agent from scratch
Candid lessons learned — including what we'd do differently
A free meal and genuine conversation with fellow Atlassian practitioners across the Phoenix community
Open discussion and Q&A to dig into what's working (and what isn't) in your own environment
Good food, good people, and hard-won Atlassian insights — all in one evening. Space is limited — RSVP now to secure your seat. We'll see you April 29 at Nextiva.
This is a hybrid event. Join the event virtually at https://ace.atlassian.com/events/details/atlassian-phoenix-presents-ai-and-rovo-platform-building-our-first-rovo-agent/

Rodney West, Technical Practice Owner for Service Management

My favorite quote is from Bene Brown and reads "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness, we discover the infinite power of our light." I am a results oriented product owner and enjoy working collaboratively with all members of the business and software development lifecycle in definition and validation of products, I am also a community leader and love helping others learn and grow in the tools we use everyday!
