AI Work Item Creation in the Jira Backlog from Confluence & Loom Links!

[#1]

Hello Atlassian Community! 👋

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to how you capture and plan work in Jira: AI-powered work item creation directly from Confluence pages and Loom videos—right from your backlog!

What’s New?

Now, you can paste a link to a Confluence page or Loom video into the backlog’s inline create, and let Atlassian Intelligence do the heavy lifting. AI will analyze the content, extract key details, and suggest one or more Jira work items complete with summaries and descriptions. No more manual copy-pasting or context switching!

How Does It Work?

1. In your Jira backlog, hover over + Create issue inline.
2. Select the work items icon which appears in the right corner.
3. Choose your Confluence or Loom video and let AI do the rest
4. Review, edit, and accept the suggestions to instantly add them to your backlog.

We’d love to hear from you!

This feature is now in Beta and we can't wait to hear your feedback! Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on this post or via the thumbs up/down when you use the feature. Your input is invaluable to us as we strive to enhance your Jira experience.

Hi, I saw this and it's great.

Just curious why its only in Backlog as we have teams that are Kanban without a backlog

Cheers

@Clayton Coetzee - thank you for the feedback! We are actively working on extending AI work item creation capabilities to other Jira views beyond the Backlog.
