With data organized across structured boards with defined columns: status, owner, priority, dates, and dependencies, agents can read this structure natively They can take in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>who owns an item<\/li>\n<li>when it&#8217;s due<\/li>\n<li>what it depends on<\/li>\n<li>how it connects to other work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, when the Sprint Planner agent evaluates <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/rnd\/product-backlog\/\">backlog<\/a> readiness, it checks whether linked design items are complete and whether upstream dependencies are resolved, all at once. This structured awareness allows agents to make decisions that reflect reality, then take action directly: updating status fields, assigning owners, setting due dates, or creating linked items on the board.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-6\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">How agents connect customer signals to product delivery<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest bottlenecks in product delivery is the distance between a customer&#8217;s problem and an engineer&#8217;s sprint. AI agents close that distance by automatically routing and synthesizing customer signals into actionable work items. The sections below show exactly how that flow works in practice.<\/p>\n<h3>From support ticket to sprint item: a 4-step automated flow<\/h3>\n<p>The following sequence shows how a customer issue moves from report to a scheduled sprint item, with agents handling classification and sprint placement along the way.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A customer submits a support ticket describing a recurring issue.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/w\/ai-templates\/ai-agents\/feature-request-agent\">Feature Request Agent<\/a> reviews the ticket against your product documentation and <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/rnd\/product-roadmap-software\/\">roadmap<\/a>, classifies whether an existing capability already solves it, and writes the verdict and a plain-language explanation to the item.<\/li>\n<li>The product manager reviews the classification. If no existing capability covers it, they promote the item to the backlog.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/w\/ai-templates\/ai-agents\/sprint-planner-agent\">Sprint Planner<\/a> organizes the backlog and slots the item into the next sprint based on the team&#8217;s actual capacity, so the engineer picks it up with the original ticket and the agent&#8217;s classification already attached.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How agents synthesize feedback across channels<\/h3>\n<p>Feedback Digest Agent doesn&#8217;t wait for someone to sit down and read through a backlog of comments. Each review cycle, it clusters new feedback into ranked themes \u2014 grouping similar input together by topic or sentiment even when customers phrase things differently \u2014 and counts how often each theme comes up.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the ranked themes, the agent reads out the overall sentiment trend and flags any standout outlier worth a second look, then publishes the full breakdown as a structured summary the team can scan instead of digging through raw entries. Because it runs each cycle rather than once a quarter, a friction point that starts showing up in feedback surfaces in the next digest, not months later at a planning review.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-7\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">How to build a custom AI agent for your team<\/h2>\n<p>Ready-made agents cover common workflows, but every product and engineering team has unique processes. The agent builder in monday AI Workspace lets you create custom agents in three steps, with no technical skills required. Here&#8217;s how each step works and what to focus on at each stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Define the agent role and triggers<\/h3>\n<p>The first step is describing what the agent should do and when it should act. You write this in natural language \u2014 no code, no configuration files.<\/p>\n<p>For example: &#8220;Monitor the QA board. When an item&#8217;s status changes to &#8216;Failed,&#8217; analyze the failure notes, re-assign the item to the original developer, update the priority to High, and post an update tagging the engineering lead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The definition process covers three areas that shape agent behavior:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Role description:<\/strong> Write in natural language what the agent&#8217;s job is \u2014 what it monitors and what actions it takes. The more specific the description, the more accurate the agent&#8217;s behavior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger conditions:<\/strong> Specify when the agent should activate: status changes, time-based schedules, new items created, specific field updates, or any combination of these.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scope boundaries:<\/strong> Define which boards or items the agent can access, keeping the agent focused on the work that matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Connect knowledge sources and integrations<\/h3>\n<p>The second step gives the agent the context it needs to make good decisions. Without relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/service\/internal-knowledge-base-examples\/\">knowledge sources<\/a>, agents operate with limited understanding of your team&#8217;s standards and processes.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge connections fall into three categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Internal knowledge:<\/strong> Connect relevant docs, PDFs, wikis, or boards that contain guidelines or historical precedent. For example, connect your QA standards doc so the agent knows what &#8220;Failed&#8221; means in your team&#8217;s context.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External integrations:<\/strong> Link external platforms (GitHub, Slack, Jira, etc.) so the agent can pull context or take actions across your stack \u2014 like posting a Slack notification when it re-assigns a failed item.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data boundaries:<\/strong> Specify what the agent can read versus what it can modify, so it operates within the guardrails your team sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 3: Test in simulation mode, then refine and activate<\/h3>\n<p>Simulation mode acts as a review checkpoint that lets you validate agent behavior before it goes live. This step is essential for building trust and confirming agents behave as expected.<\/p>\n<p>The testing process follows an iterative pattern:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry run:<\/strong> The agent processes real data but doesn&#8217;t execute actions. You review what it would have done \u2014 which items it would have updated and what priority it would have set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refinement:<\/strong> Adjust the agent&#8217;s instructions or trigger conditions based on simulation results. If the agent is too aggressive with priority escalation, tighten the criteria. If it&#8217;s missing edge cases, add more context.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activation:<\/strong> Once satisfied, activate the agent to run autonomously with full audit trail visibility, so you can always see what it did and why.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This iterative process means you can start simple \u2014 a single trigger, a single action \u2014 and expand the agent&#8217;s responsibilities over time as your confidence grows.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-8\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">How monday agents integrate with dev platforms and external systems<\/h2>\n<p>Agents are most valuable when they operate across your entire workflow, not inside one platform. The platform supports this through native integrations, MCP, and APIs \u2014 giving engineering teams flexibility in how they connect their existing stack.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Native integrations for engineering workflows<\/h3>\n<p>The platform supports 200+ integrations. The key categories for engineering teams connect the tools where code and communication already happen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Source control:<\/strong> GitHub and GitLab for linking commits and pull requests to monday items, so code changes are always connected to the work they address.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CI\/CD:<\/strong> Connecting deployment pipelines so agents can track release status and trigger downstream actions when builds pass or fail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communication:<\/strong> Slack and Microsoft Teams for agent notifications and updates, keeping the team informed without requiring them to check the board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Issue tracking migration:<\/strong> Jira integration for teams migrating their engineering workflows to monday AI Workspace or running hybrid setups during the transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How monday MCP connects external AI assistants<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/ai-agents\/what-is-mcp-explained\/\">MCP (Model Context Protocol)<\/a> is an open standard that lets external AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Microsoft Copilot securely read and act on your monday AI Workspace data.<\/p>\n<p>For engineering teams, this means an engineer can ask Claude (via MCP) to &#8220;summarize what&#8217;s blocking the launch across all sprint boards&#8221; \u2014 or ask Cursor to &#8220;create a bug item for the login timeout issue, assign it to Sarah, and set severity to High&#8221; \u2014 all from their preferred AI assistant without switching to AI Workspace UI.<\/p>\n<p>Key details about MCP access:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Available on all monday AI Workspace plans at no additional cost.<\/li>\n<li>Each user individually authorizes MCP via OAuth.<\/li>\n<li>The assistant can only access data that user is already permitted to see.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This permission model means MCP extends agent capabilities without compromising security.<\/p>\n<h3>API and SDK options for advanced engineering teams<\/h3>\n<p>For teams that want to build deeper custom integrations, monday AI Workspace offers a GraphQL API and developer documentation to extend <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/ai-agents\/types-of-ai-agents\/\">agent capabilities<\/a> programmatically. This is for teams with engineering resources who want to go beyond no-code agent building \u2014 connecting internal systems or building custom data pipelines that require direct API access.<\/p>\n<p>The API supports the same actions agents can take: creating items, updating fields, posting updates, and querying board data. Teams can build custom workflows that combine agent automation with programmatic logic for complex scenarios.<\/p>\n<a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Try monday agents\" href=\"void(0);\" target=\"_blank\">Try monday agents<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-9\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">Governance, permissions, and trust controls for AI agents<\/h2>\n<p>Autonomy paired with oversight turns AI capability into a trusted feature. The AI Workspace designs monday agents for transparency and control at every level. Engineering teams handle sensitive code and product data. Product teams make decisions that affect customers directly. Both need agents they can trust.<\/p>\n<p>As organizations scale AI across functions, budget overruns are a common risk. That&#8217;s why monday AI Workspace builds permissioning and audit trails directly into the agent framework, with simulation mode as a safeguard before anything goes live.<\/p>\n<h3>Granular permissions and role-based access<\/h3>\n<p>Permissions define what agents can see and do, keeping them within the boundaries your organization&#8217;s security requirements set.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data access scoping:<\/strong> Define exactly which boards and workspaces the agent can access. An agent monitoring the QA board doesn&#8217;t need access to the HR board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action permissions:<\/strong> Control whether the agent can read, create, edit, or delete information. A reporting agent might only need read access, while a triage agent needs the ability to update items and assign owners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Role-based controls:<\/strong> Admins set which team members can create, modify, activate, or retire agents, keeping governance centralized while allowing teams to build what they need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Audit trails and simulation mode<\/h3>\n<p>monday AI Workspace logs every action an agent takes, so nothing happens off the record. This visibility is essential for understanding agent behavior and maintaining accountability.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full audit trail:<\/strong> Review the agent&#8217;s actions and reasoning at any time, including what it plans to do next.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simulation mode:<\/strong> As covered in the custom agent section, simulation mode lets you test agents against real data without executing actions, validating behavior before going live.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reversibility:<\/strong> Review and undo agent actions when needed, so mistakes are correctable rather than permanent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Enterprise compliance and data ownership<\/h3>\n<p>Organizations with compliance requirements need assurance that AI adoption doesn&#8217;t compromise their security posture. monday AI Workspace covers the key bases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Certifications:<\/strong> SOC 2 Type II, ISO\/IEC 27001, ISO\/IEC 27701, HIPAA compliant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data privacy:<\/strong> monday AI Workspace encrypts your data at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Content ownership:<\/strong> You retain ownership of all content you provide and everything AI generates. monday AI Workspace doesn&#8217;t permit third parties to train on your data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-10\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">How to roll out monday agents across product and engineering teams<\/h2>\n<p>Rolling out <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/ai-agents\/ai-agent-examples\/\">AI agents<\/a> works best as a focused, incremental initiative rather than a broad rollout across every team at once. Start with one repetitive, high-volume workflow that currently consumes significant manual effort \u2014 a single starting point lets the team build confidence in agent behavior and measure real impact before expanding further. The governance patterns and permission structures set up for that first agent carry forward, so each subsequent deployment moves faster than the last.<\/p>\n<p>Once the first agent is running successfully, expand to related workflows on the same team, then connect agents across departments. Product and engineering agents can draw on context from agents running on other teams&#8217; boards \u2014 sales signals, support trends, delivery status, so priorities reflect what&#8217;s happening across the business rather than what&#8217;s visible on a single board.<\/p>\n<p>To justify expanding further, track outcomes that go beyond generic &#8220;time saved&#8221; claims:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cycle time reduction: how much faster items move from backlog to shipped<\/li>\n<li>Signal-to-sprint time: how quickly customer or feedback signals become scheduled work<\/li>\n<li>Adoption depth: how many teams and workflows are running agents versus still working manually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These metrics show leadership where agents are delivering real value and guide decisions about where to deploy next.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-11\">\n<h2 class=\"h2 text-block__title\">How product and engineering teams can start shipping faster with AI agents<\/h2>\n<p>Adopting AI agents is a shift in how teams work, but it doesn&#8217;t require a massive transformation. The agents described throughout this article operate inside the workspace your team already uses, with the permissions and data structures already in place. The shift is incremental, not disruptive.<\/p>\n<p>Product and engineering teams that adopt agents early gain a significant advantage. Faster shipping, better customer responsiveness, higher quality, and fewer manual handoffs \u2014 these benefits increase as agents take on more coordination work, freeing people to focus on higher-value work. Get started today and the agents will meet you where you work.<\/p>\n<a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Try monday agents\" href=\"void(0);\" target=\"_blank\">Try monday agents<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-block\" id=\"text-block-12\">\n<div class=\"accordion faq\" id=\"faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\">\n  <h2 class=\"accordion__heading section-title text-left\">FAQs about monday agents for product and engineering<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <a class=\"accordion__button d-block\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\" href=\"#q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n      <h3 class=\"accordion__question\">What AI models power monday agents?        \n          \n        \n      <\/h3>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-1\" class=\"accordion__answer collapse collapse--md\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\">\n      <p>The platform primarily uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI, along with OpenAI's GPT models and models available through AWS Bedrock such as Anthropic's Claude and Mistral. monday AI Workspace selects these models to deliver accurate outputs across different agent functions.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n    <div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <a class=\"accordion__button d-block\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\" href=\"#q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n      <h3 class=\"accordion__question\">Can teams connect Microsoft Teams for agent notifications?        \n          \n        \n      <\/h3>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-2\" class=\"accordion__answer collapse collapse--md\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\">\n      <p>Yes, monday AI Workspace integrates with Microsoft Teams and Slack, so agents can send notifications and alerts directly to the channels your engineering and product teams already use.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n    <div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <a class=\"accordion__button d-block\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\" href=\"#q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n      <h3 class=\"accordion__question\">How much do monday agents cost?        \n          \n        \n      <\/h3>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"q-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering-3\" class=\"accordion__answer collapse collapse--md\" data-parent=\"#faq-faqs-about-monday-agents-for-product-and-engineering\">\n      <p>Pricing details for monday agents are available on the monday AI Workspace pricing page.

The agent builder in monday AI Workspace lets you create custom agents in three steps, with no technical skills required. Here&#8217;s how each step works and what to focus on at each stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Define the agent role and triggers<\/h3>\n<p>The first step is describing what the agent should do and when it should act. You write this in natural language \u2014 no code, no configuration files.<\/p>\n<p>For example: &#8220;Monitor the QA board. When an item&#8217;s status changes to &#8216;Failed,&#8217; analyze the failure notes, re-assign the item to the original developer, update the priority to High, and post an update tagging the engineering lead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The definition process covers three areas that shape agent behavior:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Role description:<\/strong> Write in natural language what the agent&#8217;s job is \u2014 what it monitors and what actions it takes. The more specific the description, the more accurate the agent&#8217;s behavior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger conditions:<\/strong> Specify when the agent should activate: status changes, time-based schedules, new items created, specific field updates, or any combination of these.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scope boundaries:<\/strong> Define which boards or items the agent can access, keeping the agent focused on the work that matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Connect knowledge sources and integrations<\/h3>\n<p>The second step gives the agent the context it needs to make good decisions. Without relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/service\/internal-knowledge-base-examples\/\">knowledge sources<\/a>, agents operate with limited understanding of your team&#8217;s standards and processes.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge connections fall into three categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Internal knowledge:<\/strong> Connect relevant docs, PDFs, wikis, or boards that contain guidelines or historical precedent. For example, connect your QA standards doc so the agent knows what &#8220;Failed&#8221; means in your team&#8217;s context.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External integrations:<\/strong> Link external platforms (GitHub, Slack, Jira, etc.) so the agent can pull context or take actions across your stack \u2014 like posting a Slack notification when it re-assigns a failed item.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data boundaries:<\/strong> Specify what the agent can read versus what it can modify, so it operates within the guardrails your team sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 3: Test in simulation mode, then refine and activate<\/h3>\n<p>Simulation mode acts as a review checkpoint that lets you validate agent behavior before it goes live. This step is essential for building trust and confirming agents behave as expected.<\/p>\n<p>The testing process follows an iterative pattern:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry run:<\/strong> The agent processes real data but doesn&#8217;t execute actions. You review what it would have done \u2014 which items it would have updated and what priority it would have set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refinement:<\/strong> Adjust the agent&#8217;s instructions or trigger conditions based on simulation results. If the agent is too aggressive with priority escalation, tighten the criteria.

That&#8217;s why monday AI Workspace builds permissioning and audit trails directly into the agent framework, with simulation mode as a safeguard before anything goes live.<\/p>\n<h3>Granular permissions and role-based access<\/h3>\n<p>Permissions define what agents can see and do, keeping them within the boundaries your organization&#8217;s security requirements set.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data access scoping:<\/strong> Define exactly which boards and workspaces the agent can access.
