In the second episode of our series on how AI is reshaping monday.com, Darya Wertheim hosts Roy Mann and Eran Zinman, the company’s co-founders and co-CEOs. They discuss the most dramatic turning point in software since the invention of the personal computer. While software over the last 20 years primarily served as a tool to document work done elsewhere, today AI allows software to take center stage and execute the work itself—moving "from managing the work to doing the work."

In this episode, we break down what it actually means to deeply embed AI into a company based on three key pillars: replacing human tasks, empowering employees with 10x capabilities, and democratizing tasks and expertise that were previously out of reach—enabling anyone to code, design, or create music without prior knowledge.

We also discuss what AI is not, and why sprinkling "AI dust" on top of a product without changing its core value is simply not enough. Roy and Eran explain how customer expectations have fundamentally shifted, to the point where anything less than eliminating cognitive load and execution steps is no longer enough.

A quick heads-up: Since we’re on the subject of AI, we used it to translate this episode. These are Darya, Eran and Roy's AI-generated voices, bringing the Hebrew conversation to life in English. The episode first aired in Hebrew on February 2026.
