Most people have seen the colorful AI star icon in their monday.com workspace and kept scrolling. That's Sidekick! It's not a chatbot. It's not a help widget. It's an AI assistant that has full context of your boards, your items, your statuses, and your team — and can take action on all of it through a conversation.
Here's how to put it to work in the next 10 minutes:
1. Find it — click the colorful star icon
It's at the top of your board or next to individual item names. Click it to open the chat. You can also select up to 10 items at once and run batch actions through Sidekick.
2. Ask it about your actual work
Sidekick reads your board data in real time. You can skip the generic AI prompts! Ask it about what's actually happening in your operation.
3. Let it take action
Sidekick doesn't just surface information. Tell it what to do and it executes directly inside monday.com without you switching tools.
4. Add skills from the marketplace
Sidekick connects to external tools through skills. Just toggle them on in the Sidekick panel. Gmail, for example, lets you ask Sidekick to send a summary of completed tasks directly from chat.
Note: Sidekick is rolling out gradually in 2026. If you don't see the star icon yet, it's coming. Check back in your workspace over the next few weeks.
