This guide will help you quickly set up and start automating tasks with AI-driven scenarios in Jira using our plugin. Let’s walk through the essential steps to get you up and running in no time.
0. Open a Jira Issue to Access Just
Just is integrated into the Jira issue details screen via the issuePanel module. By default, all plugins are hidden. To open Just, simply navigate to any Jira issue and click the Just button located below the Summary field at the top of the issue details screen. This will launch the app within the issue context.
While the Just app plugin can be used in both modal and full-page views of Jira issues, we strongly recommend using the full-page view. This provides a cleaner, more organized layout and helps prevent the clutter often associated with modal windows.
1. Fulfill the "Project Description" Context
After installing the Just plugin, you’ll need to define the Project Description for better context. This description helps AI understand your project and tasks, allowing it to create more accurate and relevant scenarios. You can provide any relevant details, such as project goals, scope, and typical workflows.
Project description is already added to each scenario version as a confluence page with subpages context. But, until any page is selected - this context have no effect and igrnored.
2. Check Scenario Results with Default System API Key
You can immediately test AI scenarios using the default system API Key we’ve included. This key provides $2 of free credit for each supported AI provider, enabling you to experiment with AI-driven task automation without any setup.
How to Test:
Select a Jira task or issue.
Run the default AI scenario and check the results in real-time.
Feel free to adjust parameters and rerun for optimized outputs.
3. Build Your Own AI-Driven Scenario
Now that you’ve seen how the default scenario works, it’s time to create your own! Identify a repetitive or time-consuming task that could benefit from automation. With Just, you can design custom AI scenarios to automate processes tailored specifically to your needs.
How to Build a Scenario:
Click the "+" Button: On the scenarios list, click the “+” button to start building a new scenario.
Provide Instructions: Use the step-by-step interface to outline the exact process you want the AI to follow. Define each step the AI should perform to complete your desired task.
Adjust Contexts: By default, Just populates key contexts like the Project Description and the selected Jira issue. You can modify these if your scenario requires additional or different context.
Set AI Provider and Settings: Choose your preferred AI provider (e.g., OpenAI or Anthropic) and adjust the specific settings for that provider to optimize how the scenario runs.
Save or Run the Scenario: You can either save the scenario for future use or run it immediately without saving. If you skip saving, the scenario will execute based on the current settings.
Run and Review: Execute your custom scenario and see how AI automates the task, streamlining your workflow and saving you valuable time.
4. Connect Your Own API Key
If you plan to use AI frequently, we recommend connecting your personal API key. This enables you to bypass the $2 credit limit provided by the default system key and fully unlock the capabilities of your chosen AI provider.
How to Connect Your API Key:
Navigate to the "Manage Apps" section from the Jira "Apps" menu.
Locate and open the Just app.
Click on “Add API Key +”, select your AI provider, then paste your API key and click Save.
To start using your key, remap your existing scenarios to utilize your personal key instead of the system default.
Learn more on how to create and connect your API Key.
5. Just Use It!
You're all set! Now you can start using Just to automate tasks and improve your workflow with AI-driven scenarios.
