From Jira to Confluence Copilot

Recently, I introduced Jira Copilot, an AI-powered tool that enhances productivity when working with Jira. Naturally, if Generative AI (GenAI) can make Jira more efficient, there's no reason it shouldn't do the same for Confluence. This brings us to my latest project: Confluence Copilot.

Confluence Copilot is an AI-powered Confluence tool, serving as a Proof of Concept (POC) to demonstrate how GenAI can significantly boost team productivity when working with Confluence. My goal with Confluence Copilot is to show organizations how easily they can build their own AI-powered Confluence tools, ensuring full control over data privacy and security.

What Can Confluence Copilot Do?

As a POC, Confluence Copilot offers a set of straightforward features that organizations can explore to assess the potential of GenAI in their workflows:

Document Summarization:

Get a detailed summary of the Confluence page's content. While Confluence offers a summarization feature, it's part of the paid Atlassian Intelligence package. Confluence Copilot provides this feature as part of its core capabilities.

Key Highlights Extraction:

Extract essential tasks, decisions, or deadlines from the Confluence page, ensuring that important details don't get lost in lengthy documents.

Chat with Confluence Page:

Engage in a conversational interface where you can ask questions and get specific answers based on the content of the Confluence page.

Technical Term Explanation:

Simply select a technical term, and Confluence Copilot will provide a clear and concise explanation, making complex terminology more accessible.

Polish Content:

Select a phrase, sentence, or paragraph, and the AI model will refine and improve the writing for better clarity and style.

Language Translation:

Choose a piece of text and translate it into another language effortlessly.

Multi-Module Support:

• Macro module: Supports features like Summarize, Highlight, and Chat with Confluence pages.

• Content Action module: Offers the Summarization feature.

• Context Menu module: Provides Explain, Polish, and Translate functionalities.

The features outlined above are just the beginning. Confluence Copilot is designed to be an adaptable tool that can be extended to fit specific organizational requirements. As teams explore these initial features, they can identify other areas where Generative AI could enhance their workflows, leading to the development of more complex and customized solutions.

Technology Stack

Confluence Copilot is developed using the Atlassian Forge framework, leveraging NodeJs for the backend and React for the frontend. This integration ensures a seamless experience within the Confluence environment. For Generative AI services, Confluence Copilot supports both OpenAI and AzureOpenAI APIs, providing flexibility in choosing the AI infrastructure that best suits an organization's needs.
