monday.com has unveiled a raft of product innovations amid the start of its annual Elevate conference, with AI taking a lead in the updates.
The announcements center on three major advancement areas: AI-powered agents, enhanced enterprise-grade capabilities, and an expanded CRM suite featuring new marketing automation tools.
The platform’s update addresses what monday.com sees as a critical challenge facing modern organizations: the gap between adopting productivity tools and achieving meaningful business impact.
“Teams don’t just need tools to manage their work; they need technology that actually helps them execute it,”
Daniel Lereya, Chief Product & Technology Officer at monday.com, said.
The work management platform is repositioning itself around “work execution” rather than traditional project management, differentiating itself in the crowded work management space where players like Asana continue to expand their AI and enterprise features.
AI Agent Capabilities and Technical Implementation
Being the buzzword in the tech sector, it is no surprise monday.com’s new AI agents are one of the highlights of the announcement.
monday agents are designed to execute multi-step workflows autonomously, rather than simply automating individual tasks.
The platform now offers customizable agents that organizations can configure for specific processes.
These end-to-end agents can be tailored to workflows, moving from ask to action, orchestrating multi-step execution and adapting as conditions change.
A more specific agent, the SDR Agent, can handle lead qualification processes including data enrichment, initial outreach, and prospect handoffs to sales teams.
It operates continuously and supports multiple languages, with all the insights flowing into the monday CRM systems.
Beyond agents, but still focused on AI, is the expanded AI Marketplace. This centralizes access to both first-party agents and third-party AI capabilities surfaced through monday sidekick.
These can enable actions like automating data import and export or sending emails with external tools, all without context switching.
Lastly, the launch of a new monday campaigns product aims to bridge marketing and sales functions by connecting campaign activities directly to CRM data.
By pulling real-time customer and lead intelligence directly from monday CRM, monday campaigns aims to help demonstrate how marketing investments connect to measurable business outcomes through a shared funnel between marketing and sales.
monday campaigns and enterprise enhancements are available immediately, while monday Agents will roll out in the first half of 2026.
AI as a Competitive Positioning
These announcements come as organizations increasingly scrutinize AI investments for measurable returns rather than adopting tools based on technological novelty.
monday.com’s focus on workflow integration addresses a legitimate concern about AI solutions that operate in isolation from core business processes, though the company isn’t alone in recognizing this challenge.
monday.com’s AI agent strategy could create stronger customer retention if organizations become dependent on custom-built agents, though it also introduces new support and maintenance complexities.
Although the AI agents sound enticing, these agents were already announced earlier this year as part of monday.com’s vision for agents. The fact that they are still some months off means that such dependence will take a while to materialise.
The marketplace expansion, available immediately, provides flexibility to incorporate tools as new innovations emerge.
