Introducing Jama Intelligence: Governed AI for Complex Product Development

Published:

Engineering leaders are being asked to demonstrate what AI can do for their organizations. General-purpose AI assistants are a starting point, but in regulated product development, they separate requirements from everything maintained in the engineering record. Leaders need a way to realize AI’s benefits while preserving the governance their work demands. 

That’s where Jama Intelligence can help. It brings the new Assistant together with the AI capabilities customers already use under Jama Connect Advisor™ in one package inside Jama Connect®. Teams can improve requirements, generate test cases, and discover relationships within the engineering record they already trust, putting a clear principle into practice: engineering AI belongs inside the engineering record. 

Governed AI Where Your Requirements Live 

In regulated product development, a requirement carries relationships to other engineering items, a history of changes, and permissions that govern access. These elements help teams understand how it has evolved and how it connects to verification and other development activities. 

When teams paste requirement text into a general-purpose AI tool, that copy is separated from the relationships, permissions, and history maintained in the governed system. The resulting AI activity takes place outside the engineering record. For broader exploration, teams can connect the general-purpose AI tools they already use through Jama Connect’s MCP support, and the two work alongside each other. 

Jama Intelligence brings focused AI assistance inside Jama Connect, with access subject to the permissions that apply to each capability. The work stays in the environment where teams manage requirements, maintain traceability, and carry out established review and change processes. 

Engineers continue to evaluate AI-assisted outputs and control changes, giving teams a practical path to AI adoption within the discipline of regulated development. 

Focused Help for Requirements, Tests, and Traceability 

Jama Intelligence is built for the specific engineering tasks teams do in Jama Connect, the AI-native engineering management platform: 

  • Assistant: Summarize selected requirements, identify traceability gaps, and propose changes for your confirmation, all within the content and permissions you can access in Jama Connect. 
  • Requirement Quality Analysis: Identify potential quality issues in requirement statements so your team can address them earlier. 
  • Requirement Refinement: Improve requirement wording to help teams work from clearer statements. 
  • Test Case Generation: Generate test cases from requirements, giving engineers a starting point to evaluate and develop. 

By focusing AI on specific engineering tasks, Jama Intelligence helps teams produce dependable outputs they can evaluate and use in regulated product development. Engineers apply their expertise to assess those outputs and control how they enter the engineering record. 

Bringing Jama Intelligence to Your Team 

Jama Intelligence is a new, separately licensed cloud package available to try through a free 60-day trial.  

The subscription includes an annual pool of shared credits which measure AI usage, including the amount of information analyzed, the amount of content generated, and the complexity of requests. Administrators can monitor credit balance and consumption by capability and user. All metered Jama Intelligence capabilities draw from one shared credit balance, and credits remain available throughout the subscription year.  

For self-hosted customers, Jama Intelligence Gateway brings the Assistant to Jama Connect environments. Jama Intelligence Gateway is purchased through a platform fee and will be available later this year. 

Jama Intelligence will also be the home for future AI capabilities in Jama Connect. 

For Current Customers of Jama Connect Advisor 

For existing customers, Jama Connect Advisor capabilities remain available under current subscriptions and continue to operate without consuming Jama Intelligence credits. Assistant and future Jama Intelligence capabilities are not included in the existing Jama Connect Advisor entitlement.  

Contact your Jama Connect account team to discuss a Jama Intelligence trial. They can help you understand your current AI usage, estimate consumption through the remainder of your Jama Connect Advisor term, and receive a recommended conversion-credit allocation intended to minimize incremental consumption charges as you move from Jama Connect Advisor to Jama Intelligence.
