What Is Monday AI?
Monday AI provides natural-language interaction with your monday workspace. AI Blocks are drag-and-drop LLM steps inside automation recipes — "when item created, use AI Block to classify urgency, then assign to person". AI Assistant is a sidebar where users can ask questions of their boards, generate boards from prompts, and draft content. Monday Service (ITSM) ships with AI Ticket Deflection and AI Agent for customer service.
