The work is in Jira.
Keep the why
connected.
Quely connects selected Jira work with the Slack discussions and meeting context available in a Space. The team can see what shaped the work and what is still open.
Your setup and supported connections determine which context is available.
Quely is free during the pilot. Access is by invitation. See pricing and pilot access.

Orbit Chat⌄Which decision affects REL-24?
Orbit
The release planning decision keeps current access for invited users. The requirements document records the same exception.
The release owner still needs to be confirmed.

Simplified Quely interface with illustrative work and context. Select Lenses or Orbit Chat to explore.
The missing context
The ticket is clear.
The reason is
somewhere else.
The requirement may be in a document. A concern may be in Slack. A decision may be in a meeting.
Quely keeps selected work and its relevant context in one Space. The source material stays visible, so the team can see what shaped the work.
Connect Jira to Slack and meeting context
How it works. Start with one item and the question the team needs to answer.
- 01 · Bring
Selected Jira work into a Space.
Choose a work item from a supported Jira connection. Keep its title, description, status, and owner visible. A Space can cover a release or initiative, not only one ticket.
- 02 · Connect
Discussions, documents, and meetings.
Make relevant Slack discussions, requirements, and meeting context available with the work. Continue the discussion with the team in Quely. Check which connections your account supports.
- 03 · Ask
Orbit what changed.
Ask which decision affects the item or what still needs an answer. Orbit reasons across the available context. People supply missing information and resolve disagreements.
- 04 · See
One type of information with a Lens.
View decisions, risks, action items, or open questions separately. Review the source material and agree on the next step. A Lens is a perspective on the work, not a separate summary request.
What needs an answer before the work moves?
Ask Orbit across the work and context in the Space. Then choose the view that helps the team act.

Open questionWhat still needs an answer?
Jira stays the record.
Keep the item, status, and assignee in Jira. Bring selected work into a Space to understand the discussions, documents, and decisions behind it.

Quely vs Jira Cloud for Slack
A Jira update in Slack can be enough for a status check. A question about why the work changed may need a document or meeting discussion too.
These tools support different tasks. Jira Cloud for Slack brings Jira actions into Slack. Quely brings selected work and its relevant context into a shared Space. Quely does not replace Jira or promise that every source is available.
Scroll across the table to compare both tools.
| Team need | Jira Cloud for Slack | Quely |
|---|---|---|
| Work from a Slack conversation | Create, update, and assign Jira work from Slack. Get work item previews and notifications. | Bring selected work into a Space. Discuss it with the team and keep relevant source material with it. |
| Keep a thread with the work | Sync a Slack thread as comments on a Jira work item. | Connect available discussions, documents, and meeting context around the selected work. |
| Ask about the work | Use @Jira to search and act on work in Slack. Natural-language features require the relevant Rovo setup. | Ask Orbit what changed or which decision affects the item. Use Lenses to view one type of information. |
| Check setup and access | Install the app, connect an Atlassian account, and check administrator settings. Jira permissions apply to search results. | Check supported connections and the context available in your Space. Review Quely security and pricing and access before choosing your setup. |
Atlassian features checked on October 21, 2026: Jira Cloud for Slack and Jira mentions in Slack. Feature availability depends on setup. This compares these workflows, not the full Atlassian product range.
Questions about Jira context
Does Quely replace Jira?
No. Bring selected Jira work into a Space. Jira remains the record of the work.
Can Quely connect Jira to Slack?
Yes. Connect Jira work with Slack discussions in a Space. Available connections depend on your account setup.
What does meeting context add?
Meeting context can explain a decision, an open question, or an action that affects the work. Ask Orbit across the context available in the Space.
What can I ask Orbit about a Jira item?
Ask what changed, which decision affects the item, what is blocked, or which question remains open. The answer depends on the context available in the Space.
