The monday.com AI Summit 2025 - key insights

Introduction to the summit

The first monday.com AI Summit showcased how artificial intelligence can drive tangible impact across diverse industries. The event focused on practical applications of AI within workflows, emphasising accessibility and real-world value rather than just technological advancements.

The vision for AI at work

AI’s potential is vast, but adoption remains low, with only 20% of employees using it daily. Key barriers include complexity, lack of integration into workflows, and concerns around security and perceived laziness. monday.com’s approach centres on making AI intuitive, embedded, and trustworthy—ensuring it augments human work rather than replacing it.

Key takeaways:

• AI should work seamlessly within existing workflows.
• Smart features like translation go beyond basic tools by incorporating brand voice and context.
• Future applications include risk detection in projects and scaling businesses with a "digital workforce."

AI blocks and product power-ups

monday.com’s AI capabilities are structured into three pillars:

1. AI blocks

Pre-packaged actions that simplify common tasks:

• Extracting data from files (e.g., summarising CVs for HR).
• Automating calculations (e.g., salary comparisons).
• Generating reports or social media posts with contextual awareness.

2. Product power-ups

AI-driven solutions for complex challenges, such as:

• Risk analyser: Identifies project risks in real time across global teams.
• Industry-specific enhancements for CRM, development, and operations.

3. Digital workforce

A new frontier where AI agents own entire workflows. The debut of monday Expert—a board-specific assistant that:

• Translates business cases into actionable project plans.
• Analyses data to prioritise tasks and generate insights.
• Drafts communications for team alignment.

Real-world use cases

HR automation

• CV processing: AI extracts skills, experience, and contact details, reducing manual screening.
• Interviewer assignment: Dynamically matches candidates to interviewers based on role or skills.
• Offer management: Calculates salary differences and automates applicant notifications.

Marketing workflows

• Social media post generation: Tailors content by platform (e.g., concise tweets, professional LinkedIn posts).
• Translation: Localises campaigns instantly while maintaining brand tone.

Operations and logistics

• RFQ processing: Extracts shipment details from emails, flags missing data, and compares vendor quotes.
• Document handling: Pulls key figures (e.g., costs, deadlines) from contracts into structured boards.

The future: AI as a teammate

The summit concluded with a vision of AI as an autonomous team member—owning workflows, scaling businesses, and adapting to user needs. Early access to monday Expert will allow users to delegate tasks like project planning and vendor analysis entirely to AI.
