monday.com
Work platform whose boards and items carry its agents: ready-made and custom agents that act on the records teams already use, a context-aware assistant with scheduled routines, and account-level AI governance.
monday.com is a work platform where the records are the product: workspaces, boards, items and columns that teams shape into whatever process they run, with more than two hundred integrations and a GraphQL API around them. The same structure carries its agents, so an agent acts on the board a team already works in rather than in a separate tool.
Agents come ready-made or built in a few steps. The published ones are specific rather than generic: an agent that watches projects for schedule, dependency and workload risk and then reassigns owners, updates timelines and alerts the people affected, another that tracks invitations and chases responses, and sets grouped for sales, service, PMO, marketing, IT and HR. The agent builder takes a prompt, the knowledge the agent should use, and the tools it may call. Agents ground on the docs, PDFs and boards the maker points them at.
Alongside them, the sidekick assistant works across boards, docs and connected tools like Slack, Gmail and Google Calendar, states that it explains each action before taking it, and can run scheduled routines on a set cadence so recurring work happens without anyone starting it.
Governance is account-level and well published: role-based permissions, single sign-on, exportable admin audit logs, a separate acceptance step before AI is switched on for an account, and a trust center carrying the SOC reports and certifications as downloads. Hosting is customer-selectable across the United States, the European Union and Australia, and AI processing follows the account's region. Models run through managed provider APIs under zero-retention terms, and monday states customer data is not used to train models.

In practice
A project is slipping and nobody has noticed yet. The risk agent watches schedules, dependencies and workload across projects, then reassigns owners, moves timelines and tells the people affected.
The same chase happens every Monday morning. Scheduled routines run the assistant's work on a set cadence, so the recurring part happens without anyone starting it.
You want AI on your own material, not a generic answer. Agents are pointed at the docs, PDFs and boards you choose, and AI processing stays in the region your account is hosted in.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
Agents and the assistant act through the customer's connected tools, with Slack connected over OAuth, Gmail and Google Calendar named, and more than two hundred native integrations across Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Jira, GitHub, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier with two-way sync. SourceActions reach the work itself as well: creating content, updating tasks and timelines, notifying teammates and triggering workflows from a prompt, and the platform's automation and integration engine carries the calls, monday.com monday sidekick, integrations and AI agents pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
Agents are built in the agent builder in a few steps, given the knowledge and tools they need, and then act across the work rather than firing a single step: the named agents are described detecting a condition across projects and then taking several actions in response, reassigning owners, updating timelines and alerting stakeholders, and monday states agents keep work in sync across tools by pulling context and taking the actions that would otherwise be handoffs. SourceDeterministic sequencing sits underneath in the platform's automations and AI workflows, and the assistant coordinates execution across the platform, monday.com AI agents, agent builder and monday sidekick pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Partial |
|
The agent builder has knowledge as one of its steps, and monday states that agents use the docs, PDFs and boards the maker defines as context so that every action is grounded in the customer's own work and guidelines, with the assistant reading across boards, docs and connected tools. SourceWhat holds it short of Full: no index, refresh behavior, per-source permissioning or citation surface is documented, so a buyer cannot see which documents influenced an output, monday.com AI agents and monday sidekick pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |
|
Guardrails on the AI Trust Center are platform safety controls: an AI gateway with rate limits and token limits, moderation and security, and named model providers under zero-retention terms. Admin settings and granular permissions define who can use AI across the account and by user role, agents are described as offering transparency into every action with guardrails and permissions that can be set, and the assistant states that it explains each action before taking it and that the user reviews and approves. SourceWhat holds it short of Full: no per-action approval step or pre-execution policy check is documented at the agent layer, monday.com AI Trust Center, AI agents and monday sidekick pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
monday publishes a Trust Center that carries the attestations as downloadable reports rather than on request, including a SOC 1 Type II report, a SOC 2 Type II report, a SOC 3 report, a HIPAA business associate agreement, ISO certification pages, and statements for GDPR and UK GDPR and the Australian Privacy Act. The customer-facing controls sit beside them: role-based access with granular permissions, single sign-on, two-factor authentication, admin audit logs exportable by CSV or API, IP allowlisting, and account-level control over who may use AI at all, with a separate acceptance step before AI is enabled. Sourcemonday.com/trustcenterread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Platform auditability is real: admin audit logs record account activity and export by CSV or programmatically through the API for archival in the customer's own systems, and there is a public status page with continuous monitoring. SourceWhat holds it short of Full: no agent reasoning trace, per-agent decision log or tool-call record is documented, so what is auditable is what changed rather than why the agent chose to change it, monday.com Trust Center and AI agents pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Memory & State Persistence | Not documented |
|
What persists is the platform's own data model: agents read and write boards, items and docs on every run, so state lives in the work records rather than in the agent. Nothing documents a memory store, retention of context between runs, or any surface for a user or administrator to view, edit or delete what an agent has retained, and the assistant's privacy statements cover chats staying private rather than persisting as recallable memory. Sourcemonday describes agents as learning from patterns over time, which is absorbed learning rather than a memory a user can inspect, monday.com AI agents, monday sidekick and AI Trust Center pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Hosting is customer-selectable across named regions, with data centers in the United States, the European Union and Australia and a disaster-recovery site in a separate region, and the residency choice propagates: monday states that AI follows the same data residency policies as the account so AI processing and storage stay inside the designated region, and apps hosted on monday code inherit residency matching the account's region.

| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Full |
|
Agents come ready-made or custom. monday names individual prebuilt agents with the work each does, among them a Risk Analyzer that detects schedule, dependency and workload risks across projects and then reassigns owners, updates timelines and alerts stakeholders, and an RSVP Manager that tracks invites and responses and sends reminders, alongside expert agents grouped for sales, service and PMO, department agents for marketing, IT, HR and operations, and an AI template center. SourceThe agent builder creates custom agents from a prompt in a few steps, so a buyer both selects finished units and composes new ones, monday.com AI agents page, agent builder and AI template centerread 2026-09-17 |

| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Routines are scheduled AI actions that run automatically on a set cadence, configured from the assistant's sidebar, so work reaches the agent without a person asking. Sourcemonday.com/w/sidekickread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Partial |
|
monday discloses that its AI runs on managed model APIs from Microsoft Azure and AWS Bedrock under zero-retention terms, with the providers not storing or training on inputs or outputs, and states that customer input and output are not used to train machine-learning models. The assistant is described as bringing together several models. That routing is the vendor's, not the customer's; no model selection, per-agent assignment or bring-your-own-model surface appears, and the AI Gateway is documented under guardrails as rate limits, token limits and moderation rather than as a model picker.

| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
The platform is callable and extensible from outside: a documented GraphQL API with its own reference site, monday code as a hosted runtime for apps with data residency matching the account region, a Developer Center and marketplace where publishers attest to data segregation, least privilege and penetration testing, and an MCP server installed from the marketplace and scoped to the installing user's permissions and chosen workspaces. Sourcemonday also publishes machine-readable skill files and a programmatic signup flow so an external agent can obtain its own account and API token, monday.com developer documentation, monday MCP page and published agent skill files; developer.monday.com/api-reference/docsread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Not documented |
|
Nothing documents a test environment, a simulation harness, a scored evaluation or an agent debugging surface. The agent builder's flow is authoring: a few steps to define the agent, its knowledge and its tools, with the prompt reviewable before launch, and the guardrails monday publishes are rate limits, token limits and moderation rather than measurement of agent behavior. SourceNo before-deployment test run and no after-deployment quality score is described, monday.com AI agents, agent builder and AI Trust Center pagesread 2026-09-17 |
|
| Browser & Computer Use | Not documented |
|
Agents act through the platform's own records, its automations, its integrations and the GraphQL API, and no browser, desktop or computer control is documented. The one place a browser is mentioned is a signup page for external agents rather than an agent operating an interface, so the question of what happens when a screen changes does not arise for this product.

Recent platform changes
monday.com added a human-in-the-loop block to its AI Workflows. This feature allows the system to send approval requests to users and branch the workflow based on their response.
Bears on: Human approval / guardrails
View sourcemonday.com introduced an AI-generated campaigns feature in beta for its CRM module, enabling users to build complete marketing workflows using plain language prompts. The system acts autonomously to analyze sales call notes, aggregate CRM data, identify the target audience, and construct a preliminary campaign draft.
Bears on: Agent capability
View sourcemonday.com added an AI permissions tab and an Agent directory for Enterprise admins. Permissions assign role-based access to specific AI features and agent types (monday and third-party); the directory centralizes monitoring, activation, and deactivation of every agent on the account.

View sourcePricing
From $9/seat/mo
hybrid
Included quota
Basic ($9/seat/mo, 3-seat min): unlimited boards/items, unlimited free viewers, 5GB, timeline/Gantt, priority support, 1,000 AI credits/mo (no upgrade) - but NO automations/integrations. Standard ($12) adds automations + integrations (250/mo each), dashboards, guest access. Pro ($19) jumps automations/integrations to 25,000/mo and adds time tracking, formula columns, private boards, 100GB. Free: 2 seats, 3 boards.
What is public
monday.com publishes a free plan and a self-serve paid ladder billed per seat with a three-seat minimum, discounted annually. Each plan bundles a monthly AI credit allowance and a number of AI tools, roughly 1,000 credits and three tools at the entry tier, 2,000 and five at the next, 3,000 and six above that, and a custom allowance at the top, with credits available to add at any time; the page states that the top tier, Ultimate, is a new name for what was the Enterprise tier. AI credits are the single currency for the AI agents, the assistant and the notetaker, and since May 2026 they are a separate purchase alongside seats rather than included.
Billing mechanics
Two components: seats and AI credits. Seats are sold with a three-seat minimum and then in increments of five, with unlimited free read-only viewers. AI credits are a single currency consumed by the AI agents, the sidekick assistant and the meeting notetaker, bundled per plan at roughly 1,000 a month on the entry tier, 2,000 on the next, 3,000 on the tier above and a custom allowance on the top tier, with the number of AI tools available rising with the plan (three, five, then six). Credits can be topped up on the paid tiers at any time, with notifications as the allowance is consumed. The separate products, CRM, dev and service, are priced separately.
Cost watchouts
3-seat minimum (solo/2-person teams still pay for 3) plus 5-seat bucket increments, AI credits now a required separate purchase (not free) for post-May-2026 signups, Standard's 250 automation/integration cap (easily blown - forces Pro), separate products (CRM/dev/service) billed separately with no public bundle discount, Enterprise quote-only, annual price increases reported ~10-15%
Variable cost rationale
Seat cost is predictable, but the new AI-credit layer adds usage-based spend (AI Agents/Notetaker/Sidekick) that scales with how much AI your team runs, plus automation-limit-driven plan upgrades
Additional watchouts
The headline $9 a seat hides the three-seat minimum, five-seat increments and the AI credits that are now a separate purchase, and the Basic plan lacks automations and integrations; CRM, dev and service are separate paid products. Inference, not stated by the vendor: most teams will need Standard or above.
Overage / add-ons
AI credits draw from your monthly allotment; exceeding it pauses AI shortly after the limit unless you top up to the next credit bucket (seat count unchanged). Automation/integration action limits are per-plan (250 on Standard -> 25,000 on Pro); hitting them forces a plan upgrade. Extra storage ~$5/mo per 50GB.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)
Free / trial
Free tier
Lowest paid plan
Free; from ~$9/seat
Commercial notes
Work platform spanning work management, CRM, dev and service on one AI layer, with the agents, the sidekick assistant and the notetaker all metered in one AI credit currency. Self-serve on the lower tiers with a free plan, quote-only at the top tier, which monday now calls Ultimate rather than Enterprise.
Key ambiguities
The pricing page renders its seat figures client side, so confirm per-seat prices on the page or with monday; the tier structure, the AI credit allowances and the tier rename are published. The top tier is quote-only. A May 2026 change made AI credits a separate purchase, so customers who signed up before and after that change are on different AI terms.
Cancellation / refund
Self-serve monthly or annual (annual ~18% off); 14-day free Pro trial; Enterprise on a 12-month minimum; pre-May-6-2026 customers grandfathered on old AI terms until renewal/transition; nonprofit discounts ~30-50%
Support SLA / resale
Priority support from Basic; Enterprise adds 24/7 support, tailored onboarding, a dedicated CSM, daily webinars, and a 99.9% uptime SLA, plus SSO, audit logs, multi-level permissions, and HIPAA/SOC 2/GDPR posture
Missing data
Ultimate (formerly Enterprise) pricing is quote-only, and exact per-tier AI credit minimums and the post-May 2026 bundle and introductory rates are not fully public. The free plan and from $9 a seat figures apply to Work Management Basic.
