Curiosity and Atlassian Rovo
The team’s work, or the plant’s records
Curiosity connects the whole industrial estate; Rovo works across Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph.
Your data · your environment
Who each tool is for
Different problems, honestly stated
Curiosity
For industrial and regulated teams whose knowledge sits in engineering systems and structured records, where the answer depends on how those records connect, and where the deployment has to run on their own infrastructure.
Atlassian Rovo
Atlassian’s AI search, chat and agents, built into Jira and Confluence and grounded in the Teamwork Graph, which links work, people and content across Atlassian tools and connected apps while keeping their permissions. It runs in Atlassian’s cloud and suits teams whose work is planned and written down in Atlassian.
How Curiosity compares
Where the boundary falls
If the knowledge is in Jira and Confluence, Rovo sits where it is written. Curiosity connects Jira and Confluence too, and joins them to part data, maintenance logs and the files on your network drives, on your own infrastructure.
Built for the industrial estate
General assistants are tuned for cloud collaboration tools. Curiosity connects engineering systems, data lakes, network drives and proprietary sources.
Structured context, not a chat layer
The graph models entities and relationships, so answers reason over how records connect rather than over retrieved passages.
On your infrastructure
On premises or private cloud, with data residency you control and the model of your choice.
Side by side
Feature comparison
The same five questions, answered for both.
Deployment
Cloud or self-hosted, ready to use
Atlassian cloud
Data model
Managed context layer and knowledge graph
Teamwork Graph of work, people and content
Industrial fit
Built for industrial and enterprise teams
Software and project teams
Data reach
70+ systems connected, and yours through a connector you write
Atlassian tools and connected apps
Residency
EU hosted, or entirely your own infrastructure
Atlassian cloud regions
Customization
What your team can change
Your own code, interface, data model and configuration. Atlassian Rovo as its own documentation described it in October 2026. Where it says Not available, the vendor documents no such capability.
Your own code
C# endpoints, AI tools and tasks, compiled in Studio
Forge functions on Node.js, or your own endpoint
Your own interface
Your own front end in C#, deployed from git
Forge UI Kit and Custom UI, Studio apps
Data model
Typed node and edge schemas you define
Predefined Teamwork Graph object types for connectors
Configuration as code
Every change committed to git, pushed to your remote
Forge manifest and CLI, dev staging production environments
APIs and SDKs
REST API, C# and Python library, connector SDK
Jira and Confluence REST APIs, Forge, Teamwork Graph
AI integration
What AI can build and reach
Whether AI can build on it, who reviews the result, and which models it runs. Atlassian Rovo as its own documentation described it in October 2026.
AI that builds
Sudo drafts endpoints, tools, schemas and screens
Rovo in Studio builds agents, flows and apps
Review before it applies
Every change a diff a person approves, in a sandbox
Plan reviewed in chat before Build
Model choice
Any major provider, or an OpenAI compatible endpoint
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and open models, routed by Rovo
Models on your servers
Open weights on your servers, or air gapped
Not available
Assistant permissions
Built in tools search as the user, per record
Honors existing permissions of the user
Agent protocols
MCP server and an OpenAI compatible API
MCP server and MCP client for agents
