Key points
- Agentic Multiplayer Protocol launched Oct 6 adds visible profiles and ownership to AI agents across Atlassian tools.
- Edits by AI agents now appear in document history, ensuring accountability per Mike Cannon‑Brookes.
- Atlassian posted $1.8 billion Q2 revenue, beating $1.7 billion estimate, after a 10% (≈1,600) staff cut.

Cannon‑Brookes warned that in enterprise settings, hidden agent actions raise concerns around permissions, security, and compliance, especially when privileged company data is used. Atlassian, which also launched its in‑house assistant Rovo in 2024, reported $1.8 billion revenue for the quarter ended June 30, beating analysts’ $1.7 billion estimate, after a 10% workforce reduction of roughly 1,600 employees in March.
