What if writing a PRD could be as simple as clicking a button?
With the latest update to Automation Smart Buttons, that’s now a reality. We’re thrilled to introduce a new capability that brings Rovo agents into your everyday Confluence workflows—through smart buttons.
Whether you're brainstorming ideas, planning your next Jira epic, or summarizing customer interviews, you can leverage Rovo agents from anywhere in any page, with a single click.
Let’s dive in.
Here’s how it works - for example:
You start with a Confluence page filled with raw ideas—for example, a brainstorming doc about improving Confluence AI.
You insert a smart button using "/smart button"
or "/automation"
, and choose "Use Rovo agent and publish new page."
In the smart button config, select:
A Rovo agent (e.g., “PRD Builder”)
Input = Current page content
Template = A custom or team-wide “1-pager” PRD template
Output = A new Confluence page (e.g., under “Agentic PRDs” with a dynamic title using smart values)
Once the button is added, anyone (you or a teammate) can simply click it to run the agent. Voilà ! A fully structured PRD is created and published—automatically.
No copy-pasting, no formatting. Just structured, actionable output, ready for engineering, design, or stakeholders.
In our internal demo, we:
Created a list of AI ideas using generative brainstorming
Added a smart button labeled “Generate PRD”
Connected it to a "PRD Builder" agent, pointing it to:
Our “1-pager” template
A designated PRD section in the team space
Once clicked, the agent read the page, synthesized the ideas, and output a new child page with a ready-to-edit PRD. All fields—problem statement, goals, success metrics, risks—were auto-filled based on context.
👉 It’s fast. It’s scalable. And it unlocks async collaboration like never before.
This is just the beginning. You can use smart buttons + Rovo agents to automate nearly any content transformation. Here are a few examples:
Turn customer feedback pages into product briefs
Summarize interview notes into insight reports
Auto-generate release announcements from feature specs
Convert architectural discussions into design docs
Turn retro notes into action item summaries
Automatically create Jira tickets for roadmap items
Turn Confluence meeting notes into project status pages
Summarize page content and email it to stakeholders
Publish a cleaned-up weekly digest from a messy backlog
You can create your own Rovo agents in under a minute via Rovo Chat. Agents can:
Use your tone, templates, or structure
Work across Confluence, Jira, email, and more
Be reused, remixed, and shared with your team
We're expanding this capability rapidly to more templates for including in: Email, Jira, and comments
Whether you're an IC, tech lead, or program manager, Smart Buttons + Rovo Agents give you a scalable way to automate the in-between work—so you can focus on big moves, not busywork.
To try it:
Type "/smart button"
or "/automation"
anywhere on any Confluence page
Choose "Use Rovo agent and publish new page"
Connect to your favorite agent—or build a new one on the fly
