Teams spend substantial time on invisible, repetitive tasks like formatting data, logging updates, preparing follow-ups, and building workflow skeletons before substantive work begins. Existing tools effectively track, assign, and visualize tasks but leave operational overhead intact. Embedded, context-aware, and proactive AI can autonomously execute those operational tasks, shifting systems from work management to work execution. Such AI agents anticipate needs, act without explicit commands, and integrate into platforms teams already use. The outcome is reclaimed time for strategy, creativity, and high-impact thinking while operational drudgery is handled automatically.
When people envision the future of work, they picture cleaner dashboards, sleeker interfaces, and smarter notifications. But here's what teams actually need: software that doesn't just help them manage work, it executes the work. Over the past two decades, we've built robust systems to track, assign, and visualize tasks, and they've transformed how teams operate. But even the most organized teams still face the same fundamental challenge: They're managing work, not eliminating it.
There's a category of invisible work that quietly drains teams: formatting data, logging updates, preparing follow-ups, and building workflow skeletons before real work begins. These repetitive, nonstrategic tasks don't show up in retros or roadmaps, but they consume hours each week and hinder team productivity. AI's breakthrough isn't in flashy productivity features. It's in solving the invisible work problem and giving teams their time back.
The systems that have successfully managed tasks are now ready to execute them. This advancement, from work management to work execution, is powered by AI that's embedded, context-aware, and proactive. Not assistants waiting for commands, but agents that anticipate needs and act autonomously. At monday.com, we know how work really happens across nearly every industry. We've seen what drives teams forward and what slows them down.
