Jira makes AI agents assignable teammates

Jira now lists AI agents as teammates alongside humans, closing the orchestration gap that wastes the 10-15% productivity lift from coding assistants. Instead of copying chat output into tickets, you assign issues to agents that update fields, add comments, and transition issues while keeping humans in the loop. Every action is visible and traceable in Jira. If your team struggles with repetitive triage or manual status updates, this integrates AI into the same coordination patterns you use for people.
