The company is opening up its platform for third-party developers to build AI apps on the monday WorkOS, which will be available to customers through the monday AI Assistant. The company will launch a beta version of the monday AI Assistant in May, expanding how customers interact and build on the WorkOS platform.
As an initial offering, monday.com will release a collection of apps built internally on the same monday AI Assistant infrastructure where external developers will soon be able to build.
These apps will support various use cases, from sharing helpful suggestions to improving workflows. They will include automated task generation, composing and rephrasing emails, summarising and formula builder (to be released at a later date).
“Generative AI is a huge step forward for not only the quality, but also the ease, with which anyone with coding capabilities can create amazing AI software,” said Roy Mann, co-founder and co-CEO at monday.com.
“In the true monday way, we’re leveraging the power of the global developer community to provide optimal value to our customers, by opening up our infrastructure for AI apps to overlay the monday.com Work OS. We’re excited to see the incredible ways developers utilise AI to bring new solutions to the monday.com marketplace.”
To jumpstart the growth of the AI marketplace, monday.com will host an external hackathon from June 20-22, offering an in-person experience to developers in London, New York and Tel Aviv, and an opportunity to participate virtually to developers around the world.
monday.com said that while the potential of generative AI technology is limitless, it needs to be responsibly developed and deployed. The company said it has taken significant measures to ensure that data used by customers will be protected by the company’s standard data protection policies, and the apps provided by monday.com with the AI assistant will be hosted on secured servers.
“Developing monday AI is a natural next step in deepening how our customers interact with our software and supporting their ever-growing work processes,” said Eran Helft, director of product management at monday.com.
“We are just scratching the surface on what we can accomplish with AI and plan to keep expanding our platform based on our customers' true needs.”
