Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer
You can add an AI agent to Jira Service Management without moving a single ticket. Fini AI connects to one Jira Service Management site with Atlassian OAuth and answers requests inside the service projects you route to it. For each project you choose whether it posts a customer-visible comment, writes an internal note for your team, or stays silent. Your agents keep working in Jira, and your queues, SLAs and reporting stay where they are.

Why teams avoid migrating
Switching helpdesks to get AI means moving history, rebuilding automations, retraining agents and redoing reports. For teams on Jira Service Management, support often sits next to engineering in the same Atlassian site. Moving it out breaks the link between a customer request and the issue that fixes it. An AI agent that works inside Jira Service Management keeps that link.
How it works
Connect with Atlassian OAuth. In Fini AI, open Deploy, then Jira, and authorize your Jira Service Management site.
Route projects to Fini AI. Under Bot routing, map each service project to a Fini AI bot. Projects you don't map are excluded.
Set Reply Rules. For each project, choose a public comment, an internal note, or no reply. Start with internal notes so your team can review answers on real requests.
Go live project by project. When answers pass review, switch that project to customer-visible replies.
Fini AI tags map to Jira labels, so your existing filters and reports can pick up what the agent handled.
How Fini AI does this: one Atlassian OAuth connection, Bot routing per service project and Reply Rules that start on internal notes. See Fini AI integrations.
Safe by design
Before Fini AI sends anything, it re-checks that the request is still open, still in a routed project, and not owned by a human in Fini. If any of those changed, it does not reply.
Every reply has a full AI Steps trace in Fini AI's Inbox: what it planned, which knowledge it used and which rule ran.
What it answers from
Your Confluence spaces and help center content, plus files and links.
Customer context and approved actions from your systems through Actions and MCP connections.
Background AI drafts of new knowledge always go to Review before the agent uses them, so customers get one approved answer per topic.
Internal notes first: a two-week plan
Week 1: one project on internal notes. Agents copy, edit or discard each draft, and you see how often a draft is used as written.
Week 2: fix the gaps the notes exposed, then switch that project to public comments.
After: repeat per project. Deploy anywhere in 2 mins, fully live in 14 days and fully autonomous in 30 days.
Also on Jira: Scout for Slack
Scout files bugs from Slack conversations to Jira or Linear, so engineering gets a clean ticket without copy and paste. See Scout. For backlog triage in Jira Software, see AI ticket triage for Jira backlogs.
Troubleshooting
Status shows Needs attention: reconnect the Jira integration.
Status shows Reconnect required: disconnect, then connect again with Atlassian OAuth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an AI agent run on top of Jira Service Management?
Yes. Fini AI connects through Atlassian OAuth and answers requests in the service projects you route to it, with no tickets moved out of Jira.
Will the AI reply on every Jira project?
No. It only works on projects you map under Bot routing. Unmapped projects are excluded.
Can it write internal notes instead of public replies?
Yes. Reply Rules let you pick a public comment, an internal note, or no reply for each project.
What if a human agent picks up the request?
Fini AI re-checks ownership before sending. If the request is owned by a human in Fini, it does not reply.
Does an internal note count as a resolution?
No. A resolution needs no human touch, so a draft a person reviews and sends is not one. Pricing starts at $0.49 per resolution; see pricing.
Run this on your own support data
Scout reads your support tickets and Slack threads, finds what keeps going wrong and drafts the fix for your team to approve.
