Jira holds the heartbeat of your engineering team — issues, sprints, epics, and workflows. Knowi connects natively via the Jira REST API v3 with full JQL support for precise filtering and querying.
Pull data from issues, projects, boards, sprints, and custom endpoints. Supports Jira Cloud with API token authentication. Configure in minutes — just your Atlassian domain and API token. See the setup guide.
Jira tracks issues, but your delivery story spans multiple tools — code commits in GitHub, deployments in CI/CD pipelines, customer data in SQL databases. Most BI tools connect to one source at a time.
Knowi joins Jira data with GitHub, GitLab, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Salesforce, REST APIs, and 30+ other sources — all in a single query, no ETL pipelines or data movement. Learn how cross-source joins work.
JQL is powerful but requires technical expertise. Project managers and stakeholders shouldn't need to learn query syntax to get answers from Jira.
Knowi lets users ask questions in plain English — "show me open bugs by priority this sprint" or "what is our average cycle time by team." The AI generates optimized JQL and returns instant visualizations. From question to dashboard in seconds.
Most BI tools treat Jira as just another REST API. Knowi understands project management data.
Project managers build their own dashboards and reports on Jira data. Drag-and-drop analytics with sprint velocity, burndown charts, and 40+ visualization types.
Schedule automated reports from Jira data. Email PDF sprint reports, Slack notifications on SLA breaches, and webhook triggers on issue conditions.
Query Jira issues with the full power of JQL. Filter by project, sprint, assignee, priority, labels, custom fields, and any combination. Pagination handled automatically.
Go beyond dashboards. AI agents that understand your Jira data, answer questions in plain English, and take action automatically.
Ask "show me overdue issues by team lead this quarter" and get instant results from Jira. The AI generates optimized JQL and Cloud9QL automatically.
Agents detect bottlenecks in your sprint pipeline, identify stale issues, and surface delivery risks you would miss in manual standup reviews.
Describe what you need: "create a sprint health dashboard showing velocity, burndown, and open bug trends." The agent builds it automatically.
Complex requests trigger multiple specialized agents. "Analyze sprint velocity trends, correlate with GitHub commit frequency, and create a delivery performance dashboard" — handled automatically.
Search across all your dashboards, widgets, and datasets by meaning — not just keywords. Find the sprint report you need in seconds.
Schedule reports to Slack, Teams, or email with natural language. "Send the sprint summary to #engineering every Friday at 5pm."
