Atlassian Says AI Lifts Tool Usage, With 96% to 97% of Staff Using Dia Daily

Summary
Mike Cannon-Brookes said AI is increasing, not eroding, demand for Atlassian’s software, arguing enterprises still need human judgment and clear workflow visibility even as agents automate routine steps.
Atlassian’s strategy centers on a single platform behind Jira, Confluence and other apps, with AI features layered into products rather than replacing them with a chatbot-only interface.
Dia, the browser Atlassian acquired with The Browser Company, is now used daily by 96% to 97% of employees; Cannon-Brookes framed it as a work-focused “doer” that organizes SaaS apps, documents and tasks.
The company, with about 12,000 to 13,000 employees, reworked its org chart and cut roughly 10% of staff earlier this year to shift skills toward AI products, enterprise sales and internal AI adoption.
Cannon-Brookes said customers using Atlassian’s MCP server and CLI grow spending at roughly twice the rate of others, pushing back on “SaaSpocalypse” claims before new product announcements at Team 26 EU in 10 days.
