A long-time user reports that Monday.com's experience degraded because AI features were added prominently with no way to turn them off, souring their opinion of an otherwise well-liked tool. This reflects a broader pattern of SaaS products embedding AI that users did not ask for and cannot opt out of.
Monday.com AI feature fails to guide board setup intuitively
Users find Monday.com's interface overwhelming with too many options, and the AI-assisted board creation is non-intuitive to the point where users abandon it and build manually. Feature density without good progressive disclosure leads to poor first-use experience.

Power user appreciates Monday.com's AI, Vibes, workflows, agents but has no time to climb the learning curve — feature breadth becomes a barrier rather than benefit.

A user who deliberately kept the non-AI "Classic" version of Monday.com is still bombarded with in-app and email notifications pushing AI features they explicitly declined. The repeated hassling despite an active opt-out is driving the user to abandon the product entirely.
