Atlassian has announced that it has acquired Rewatch, a platform that uses AI to optimize virtual meetings.
Rewatch will be integrated with Loom, Atlassian’s async video communication tool.
Once this integration is complete, customers will be able to deploy an AI-powered meeting assistant in their virtual meetings to automatically record the meeting, take detailed notes, extract action items, and send follow-ups to meeting attendees. This knowledge will be searchable across the Atlassian products, such as Jira and Confluence, so relevant updates are surfaced with colleagues who may not have been in the meeting.
Turn talk into action with Loom + Rewatch
Whether you are hosting your meeting via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, the meeting assistant will be automatically added to the invite list. When your meeting kicks off, attendees will see that your meeting assistant has joined, even if you are not present.
Moments after the meeting wraps, the recording will be waiting in your Loom Library for editing and sharing. Along with the recording, Loom AI will generate several types of content for meeting attendees and those it’s shared with to review asynchronously, including:
• Tailored meeting notes: The meeting assistant will generate notes based on templates for common meeting types. You’ll be able to edit what the assistant creates or drop in your own notes.
• Action items: Your meeting assistant will create and assign the to-do list so you can avoid the post-meeting scramble. In the future, Rovo Agents will review the notes and action items and automatically update related Confluence pages, Jira issues, service tickets, and more.
• Full Transcript: Attendees can search for what was said, copy snippets, or download the full transcript. They can also translate meeting transcripts and captions across 50+ languages.
The meeting notes, action items, and transcript will be available for others to search for and find within other Atlassian products – including Confluence and Rovo, in alignment with your access permissions. This will help improve visibility and knowledge sharing across your organization.
The new features, including the AI-powered meeting assistant, will be available as part of the Loom platform in the coming quarters.
According to Atlassian research more than two-thirds (72%) of meetings are deemed ineffective by attendees. With the integration of Rewatch, Atlassian aims to change this by making meetings more productive and efficient.
