Rovo Dev agent, now available in the CLI

Following the unveiling of our new Rovo Dev Agent at Team ’25 in April, we’re excited to bring it to the command line, an essential tool in many developers’ daily workflows. This significant milestone introduces an agentic AI coding experience designed with enterprises in mind. With Rovo Dev, part of our Rovo Software Agents beta, your command line becomes an intelligent development agent that understands, codes, and collaborates with you, seamlessly integrated into your Atlassian workflow.

Unleash agentic AI in your terminal

Rovo Dev in the CLI is crafted for developers who thrive in the terminal environment. It transforms into an intelligent AI partner that understands, codes, and integrates seamlessly with your existing tools.

It addresses key challenges faced by software engineers through:

• Code understanding and navigation: Gain insights into your codebase, generate documentation, and receive code explanations without leaving your terminal.
• Development acceleration: Speed up your development cycle with AI-assisted code completion, intelligent refactoring suggestions, automated testing, and interactive debugging.
• Atlassian ecosystem: Seamlessly work with Jira issues, update Confluence documentation, and manage your development tasks directly from the terminal – no more context switching between tools.
• Security and administration: Implement robust permission controls and protocols while efficiently tracking resource utilization and managing user access through role-based permissions. Maintain comprehensive usage monitoring and cost management.
• Extensibility and customization: Configure tool permissions, optimize your workflow, and extend functionality by connecting your MCP server to match your team’s specific needs.

Raising the bar – Scoring top marks on SWE-bench

Rovo Dev CLI achieves state-of-the-art results on the SWE-bench full benchmark, reaching 41.98% resolve rate across 2294 tasks in the full dataset. Maintained by researchers at Princeton and Stanford, SWE-bench is the leading benchmark for evaluating AI agents on real-world issue resolution, testing their ability to make context-aware code edits across open-source projects.

Submitted for official publication, this score positions Rovo Dev at the top, underscoring its strong capabilities in real-world code understanding and automated problem solving.

How teams are using Rovo Dev CLI

Teams using Rovo Dev CLI have quickly made it part of their daily workflow. Engineers rely on it to stay focused by offloading routine tasks like code navigation, feature implementation, and documentation generation. The agent helps developers understand new codebases, implement features with web-integrated research via MCP servers, and assist in complex code migrations, all without leaving the terminal environment.

By eliminating the need to switch between different tools and interfaces, Rovo Dev helps development teams stay in their flow state while working on what matters most.

Let’s explore how Rovo Dev brings intelligent assistance to your terminal through real-world development scenarios:

Explore and understand your codebase

Understanding your codebase is the first step to productive development. Watch as Rovo Dev analyzes entire repositories in seconds, answering natural language questions about code structure and technical implementations to help developers quickly navigate complex projects.

Connect to Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket

See how you can connect MCP servers to Rovo Dev. In this example, we connect with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket to complete a work item end-to-end. From retrieving web data to updating the codebase, all in the terminal, with zero manual coding. And, if you’re using Jira with GitHub, we’ve got you covered, too.

Adaptive memory system

Rovo Dev’s intelligence grows with your project through its memory system. Watch how it uses memory files to retain project knowledge and adapt its behavior – you can even customize its personality to match your team’s style!

Code migration assistance

Finally, witness how Rovo Dev helps to tackle larger challenges like codebase migrations. Through structured analysis and step-by-step execution, it helps manage complex transitions while keeping developers in control of the process.

These demonstrations showcase just a few ways Rovo Dev can enhance your development workflow. Whether you’re exploring new codebases, implementing features, or managing large-scale changes, Rovo Dev serves as your intelligent partner in the terminal.

Join the future of development

Rovo Dev in the CLI is the first enterprise-ready agent experience available in your terminal, designed to enhance productivity and streamline your software development process.

We invite you to download Rovo Dev in the CLI and join the future of software development. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping us refine and enhance this powerful tool. Welcome to the era of intelligent development on the command line!

Beta technology disclaimer: Rovo Dev in the CLI is currently in beta and under active development. To maintain the high-quality experience our users expect, we’re limiting access to a set number of users. Once that limit is reached, new users will be added to a waitlist and onboarded as we expand capacity. The product is available for free during the beta period.
