Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really worth moving away from Monday.com if it’s already handling our task automation?
Yes, if you're facing tool sprawl, data silos, or hitting scalability limits. Monday.com excels at simple automations but relies on fragile integrations and lacks true AI intelligence or cross-system orchestration—leading to long-term technical debt and vendor lock-in.
How much faster can custom AI systems process workflows compared to no-code platforms?
Custom AI systems like those from AIQ Labs have achieved an 80% reduction in invoice processing time and up to 60% faster hiring cycles—results not documented for Monday.com, which caps automation actions at 25,000/month on its Pro plan.
Will we lose control of our data with Monday.com versus a custom AI solution?
With Monday.com, you remain dependent on their platform and subscription model, never fully owning your workflows or data. AIQ Labs delivers full ownership of code, data, and infrastructure, eliminating vendor lock-in and ensuring long-term control.
Can custom AI systems actually run locally, or do they always need the cloud?
Yes, advances like 1-bit quantized GGUF models (e.g., Kimi K2) show that large AI models can run on consumer hardware with 256GB RAM, making self-hosted, secure, and compliant AI systems feasible for sensitive operations.
Isn’t building a custom AI system way more expensive than using Monday.com?
While Monday.com starts at $9/user/month, costs grow with seat count and integrations. Custom AI systems require upfront investment but deliver higher ROI—like 300% more qualified appointments and 70% lower cost per appointment—while avoiding long-term subscription lock-in.
What are the real-world benefits of switching from no-code tools to custom AI workflows?
Businesses using AIQ Labs’ custom systems report 95% first-call resolution in support, 70% fewer stockouts, and 60% reduced ticket volume via AI chatbots—outcomes tied to unified, intelligent automation that no-code platforms can’t replicate.
