Blocks.diy Raises $10M to Redefine Workplace Productivity with AI Agents

mm
Co-Founders: Tal Haramati (CTO) & Michal Lupu (CEO)

Blocks, an AI-powered platform that enables teams to build their own custom work tools and smart agents in minutes, today announced it has raised $10 million in seed funding. The round was led by monday.com—marking the company’s first-ever startup investment—alongside participation from Qumra Capital and Entree Capital.

The funding will fuel Blocks’s mission to empower every professional to create and adopt intelligent work tools while retaining full control over their data, integrations, and compliance needs. By giving employees the ability to design AI-native solutions without relying on large development teams, Blocks is reshaping how organizations approach workplace efficiency.

From No-Code to AI-Native Workspaces

Founded earlier this year by monday.com alumni Michal Lupu and Tal Haramati, Blocks is the first platform to pair an AI app builder with autonomous, task-completing AI agents. These agents do more than store data: they can extract it, analyze it, act on it, and coordinate across multiple platforms—all while giving professionals control over their behavior.

Blocks seamlessly integrates with widely used platforms including HubSpot CRM, LinkedIn, Gmail, monday.com boards, Notion, and Snowflake, ensuring that AI-powered tools plug directly into existing workflows. Unlike passive software that depends on constant human input, Blocks shifts the paradigm toward active, intelligent tools that perform tasks independently.

A Marketplace for Every Industry

To speed adoption, Blocks offers a marketplace of ready-to-use templates designed by industry experts. These templates can be deployed instantly or customized to fit the unique needs of hospitals, venture capital funds, construction firms, and tech companies—sectors that have already adopted the platform to streamline complex workflows.

Blocks also provides prebuilt collaborative workspaces where teams can manage projects across colleagues, clients, vendors, and partners. Security is a cornerstone of the platform: Blocks is fully compliant with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR standards, ensuring that even the most customized AI agents meet enterprise-level data protection and regulatory requirements.

Vision Backed by Industry Leaders

“During the seven years I led product development at monday.com, I saw firsthand how no-code tools improved workplace efficiency,” said Michal Lupu, Co-Founder and CEO of Blocks. “AI technologies have dramatically lowered the barriers to software development, but Blocks takes it further—empowering every employee to build smart work tools and AI agents tailored to their exact needs in a secure, controlled environment.”

For monday.com, backing Blocks represents both a strategic and personal milestone.

“During the years of joint work with Michal and Tal in their senior positions at monday, we got to know closely their excellent strategic, execution, and technological capabilities,” said Roy Mann, co-founder and CEO of monday.com. “We are proud that this is our first investment in an external company. This is an opportunity to support exceptional entrepreneurs whom we know deeply and believe in their ability to build the future of the workplace.”

Erez Shachar, Managing Partner at Qumra Capital, echoed the sentiment:  “Michal and Tal identified an exceptional opportunity to revolutionize organizational efficiency. They understood that the real power of AI lies in making it accessible to every employee, regardless of their technological background. We are excited to support their mission to help organizations develop personalized AI tools that create smarter, more efficient workplaces.”

Building the Future of Work

Blocks is positioning itself as the AI-native evolution of workplace software, moving beyond no-code toward a future where anyone—not just engineers—can shape their digital environment. By enabling professionals to design AI agents and apps through simple conversations, the platform ensures that businesses of any size can build the tools they need instead of compromising with off-the-shelf solutions.

As organizations grapple with an explosion of apps, integrations, and fragmented workflows, Blocks represents a new way forward: one where teams build their dream tools in minutes and AI handles the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
