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 towards 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% 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. ### Related Stocks - [MNDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MNDY.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [What does Europe’s AI lag mean for the region?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296510589.md) - [Goldman Sachs Says This 1 Stock Is Set to Be the Biggest AI Productivity Winner](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296259340.md) - [One chart shows a big warning sign for the future of AI](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296329028.md) - [Global Mofy AI Strikes Related-Party Share Swap for Stake in Chinese AI Firm](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296535511.md) - [3 arguments for and against AI watermarks](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296205500.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
