Introducing Rovo Think Deeper: Stronger reasoning, right when you need it
Jan 29, 2026Gunjan Sood

Summary
This post introduces 'Think Deeper' for Atlassian Rovo, a new reasoning mode that sits between standard chat and deep research. It enhances Rovo's ability to handle complex queries by dynamically breaking them into subtasks, iterating on intermediate results, and leveraging the Teamwork Graph for context. The system automatically selects the appropriate reasoning level (Standard Chat, Think Deeper, or Deep Research) based on prompt complexity, with users able to manually engage 'Think Deeper' for more thorough analysis. The core technical contribution is the 'deliberate reasoning loop' that plans, iterates, connects via the Teamwork Graph, and verifies results before presenting them to the user.
