Monday.com is aggressively integrating artificial intelligence into its operations, launching new AI-driven products like an agentic AI builder and a vibe coding feature, while encouraging employees to use AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Despite these advancements, Daniel Lereya, Monday.com’s chief product and technology officer, wanted his 700-strong team of “builders”—comprising software engineers, product managers, designers, and data experts—to think even bigger.
To spark innovation, Lereya launched “AI Month,” a four-week program featuring 17 workshops, 22 speakers, and 71 employee-presented demos of real, AI-centric tools designed to enhance internal workflows or improve customer products. The initiative was so successful that it inspired similar programs, including one for the marketing team in September, which produced tools like Budget-Bot for automated financial planning and Ask-Marketing, an AI-powered knowledge hub tailored for marketers.
Lereya emphasized the need for “radical changes” rather than incremental improvements, aiming to align the entire organization—from its project management software roots to its future vision—around AI’s transformative potential. The first week of “AI Month” focused on education, covering large language models and industry-specific terms. Interactive sessions explored vibe coding, where developers describe project goals to an AI platform that generates editable code. Every participant in these sessions left with a self-built app.
Each Thursday, employees showcased live, production-ready tools from 127 submissions, with demos explaining functionality, challenges, and lessons learned. One standout was Sherlock, an AI agent that analyzes user-reported performance issues on Monday.com’s project management boards, generating reports to expedite resolutions and reduce back-and-forth with users.
Customer-facing AI tools unveiled during “AI Month” included Monday Magic, Monday Sidekick, and Monday Vibe, an AI-enhanced vibe coding platform. Within three months, Sidekick recorded over 45,000 interactions, Magic enabled 2,000 solutions, and Vibe saw 17,000 apps built in just two months. These initiatives align with Monday.com’s goals of faster market delivery and higher-quality products.
To prepare for “AI Month,” all 80 builder teams met with senior leaders to reimagine their workflows with AI. While addressing concerns about AI’s impact on jobs, Lereya stressed that the company plans to hire more developers to accelerate its product roadmap. He acknowledged that AI will create new roles, transform others, and potentially eliminate some, but events like “AI Month” aim to inspire employees to embrace AI to stay relevant.
Monday.com projects annual revenue of $1.22–$1.23 billion this year and aims for $1.8 billion by 2027, driven by its AI-powered product pipeline. “It’s about doing more,” Lereya said, setting a new standard for innovation and growth.
