Israeli workplace software maker Monday.com is laying off hundreds of employees as part of a restructuring plan to refocus its investments around AI projects.
The company said it is reducing its headcount by 20%, or about 630 staff, to “support a leaner, more focused operating model” as it concentrates on its AI Work Platform.
Monday.com earlier this year pivoted hard toward making its AI platform a core offering, redesigning its entire product around the belief that its enterprise customers increasingly want AI agents to work together with their employees. The AI Work Platform currently comprises a no-code app builder, a customizable AI agent, a workflow automation tool, and a chatbot that can do tasks like generating reports and updating dashboards.
The company joins a host of large tech firms that have laid off hundreds of thousands of people as they seek to invest more in AI. Tech layoffs in May hit a monthly high unseen in years, and a record 78% of companies have blamed a need to refocus their efforts around AI as a reason for letting people go this year, according to Layoffs.fyi.
More than 122,000 tech roles have been cut so far in 2026, Layoffs.fyi data shows.
Monday.com expects to incur $45 million to $55 million in charges due to the restructuring.
