My Hours
My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Atlassian and Fibery — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Atlassian is productizing its own agent plumbing while pushing Rovo deeper into Microsoft's surfaces.
Atlassian's feed runs two parallel threads. One is distribution: Rovo and the Teamwork Graph are being pushed into Microsoft 365 and Teams, so Atlassian context and Jira actions reach users who never open an Atlassian tab. The other is internal engineering practice written up in public — agent harnesses, sandboxed execution, and pipelines that take routine work like vulnerability remediation off a human's queue. The stream stays mostly commentary; genuine releases are a minority and sit among culture posts and customer stories.
Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

The stream stays mostly commentary; genuine releases are a minority and sit among culture posts and customer stories.
The two threads are converging on the same bet: that the durable asset is the graph and the agent runtime underneath, not any single surface. Recent posts move from describing agents that answer questions to agents that hold a task end to end — pick up a ticket, change code, open a pull request, close the loop after deploy. Publishing the architecture behind Rovo's agent harness alongside the internal case studies reads as groundwork for exposing that harness to customers rather than keeping it as an internal tool.
Expect the Agentic Pipelines work described in the Bitbucket posts to surface as a customer-facing Bitbucket capability, and the Teamwork Graph connector list to keep growing to more non-Atlassian sources. The entries here don't indicate timing or packaging.
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP.

The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.
Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.
The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.
