Hey {{first name | there}}. Imagine shipping AI-generated code that gets hardened upstream before an attacker ever sees it, governed by agents that know exactly where their authority ends. Most of the pieces for that landed this week.

In today’s roundup:

💡TOGETHER WITH ATLASSIAN

The biggest engineering bottleneck today isn’t code. Before AI can generate anything useful, it needs the right context. And most of that doesn’t live in code.

For most teams, context is scattered across Jira, Confluence, and other tools. And that’s why teams are building custom AI workflows just to keep up. 

Atlassian saw this happening and integrated Cursor in Jira. 

You can now assign any Jira work item directly to a Cursor cloud agent. It gets to work, and the PR it opens is linked back to Jira automatically. 

It works the other way too: from Cursor in your IDE or terminal, the Teamwork Graph CLI keeps Jira work items and Confluence docs up to date. No app switching.

It ships with every paid Jira subscription.
