Trac
Trac is an alternative wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission is to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established development process and policies.

2024. Atlassian acquires Rewatch to collect JIRA issues from meeting recordings



Atlassian has acquired Rewatch, an AI-driven meeting notetaker, screen recording tool and video hub. The company intends to integrate Rewatch into Loom, the asynchronous video messaging platform it purchased for $975 million last October. Also, perhaps even more significantly, it also plans to incorporate it into its recently launched Rovo AI platform so that meeting notes will automatically become Jira issues and the transcripts will become searchable within the broader business context. Even though this will be a human-in-the-loop system because it still has to get it right most of the time.
