What’s Coming Next in Monday.com AI: 2026 Predictions
AI is No Longer a Feature. It's the Foundation.
In 2026, AI is no longer a “nice-to-have” inside Monday.com it's becoming a native, intelligent layer that powers everything: from how you plan your day to how your business scales.
As certified builders and consultants working across Monday.com, Make.com, OpenAI, and more, Ava Desk has a front-row seat to what’s being tested, launched, and requested.
Here’s where we see Monday.com’s AI evolution heading next.
1. AI That Builds Entire Systems , Not Just Tasks
In 2025, AI helped generate items and update tasks. In 2026, we predict Monday will allow AI to build full board structures.
Create entire workflows from natural language
Auto-map dependencies and timelines
Suggest board relationships and connected automations
Match templates based on use case and industry
This moves AI from a “helper” to a co-builder inside the platform.
2. Sidekick AI Will Become a Persistent Workspace Assistant
Right now, Sidekick is helpful in isolated moments. But we expect it to evolve into a persistent assistant, integrated across all boards and dashboards.
What that could look like:
Daily summaries of what’s changed across your workspace
Suggestions for what to prioritize
In-context answers to “what’s overdue in sales?” or “who’s overloaded in support?”
Slack-style interactions that feel like talking to a teammate
Think of it as a Chief of Staff inside Monday, available 24/7.
3. AI-Powered Cross-Board Logic
Currently, workflows are mostly board-specific. But AI will begin to handle context-aware decisions across multiple boards.
Example:
A high-value lead is stuck in Sales for 10+ days
AI checks Support for recent issues and pings the account manager
It suggests a reactivation sequence and schedules a check-in
This kind of multi-board intelligence is where AI will outpace traditional automations.
4. Dynamic Roles & Access Based on AI Signals
Rather than static permission rules, AI could adjust user access or views based on context.
For example:
If a user is flagged as a contractor, AI ensures limited access
If someone joins a new team, AI suggests dashboard presets
Role-based views adjust dynamically as people move across departments
This unlocks security + flexibility without extra admin overhead.
5. AI Workflow Audits and Optimization Suggestions
Just like SEO tools give you suggestions for better visibility, Monday.com will begin auditing your workflows and flagging inefficiencies.
"This automation hasn't triggered in 30 days"
"You're sending duplicate emails from two workflows"
"This board is missing a status dependency"
It will be like having an AI operations consultant built into your account.
6. Smarter AI + Make.com Scenarios with Feedback Loops
Currently, Ava Desk uses Make.com to power high-performing AI flows but they’re still based on static conditions.
In 2026, we expect:
AI self-optimizing flows based on outcomes
Feedback loops that improve email response quality, task creation accuracy, and routing decisions
Adaptive automations based on seasonality or behavioral patterns
AI will shift from reactive → predictive → adaptive.
7. AI-Driven Forecasting Across Workstreams
AI will provide real-time forecasting across sales, operations, support and not just with dashboards.
You’ll get:
Visuals predicting workload spikes
Expected revenue closeouts based on deal health
Escalation trends in support before they cause churn
These forecasts will feed directly into board design, dashboards, and automation triggers.
8. Voice-First and Multi-Modal Inputs
Building on Ava Desk's experiments with ElevenLabs, we expect Monday.com to embrace voice and video AI inputs natively.
You’ll be able to:
Record a voice note → AI summarizes and creates tasks
Upload a video walkthrough → AI converts it into a checklist
Ask your board assistant a spoken question → receive a dashboard summary
This will enhance accessibility and unlock new ways to work faster.
The real breakthrough in 2026 isn’t just smarter AI it’s context-aware AI that understands your business, your team, and your goals.
Monday.com is clearly building toward a future where AI doesn’t just help it leads.
At Ava Desk, we’re already building the workflows that make this future real:
Voice agents
AI-generated dashboards
Predictive task engines
Cross-board smart automations
Dynamic dashboards that learn and evolve
