Definition
Motion is an AI-powered calendar and task-management app that automatically schedules a user's tasks, meetings, and projects into their calendar, re-planning the day as priorities and new events change.
Overview
Motion combines to-do list management with calendar scheduling, using an AI planning engine to automatically slot tasks into open time on a user's calendar based on deadlines, priority, and estimated duration, rather than requiring users to manually block time for each task. When new meetings are added or priorities shift, Motion re-plans the schedule to keep everything realistic. Beyond individual task scheduling, Motion offers project-management features for teams, letting managers assign and track work while Motion's AI handles the day-to-day scheduling of who works on what and when, aiming to reduce the manual overhead of calendar and task juggling. Motion competes with other AI scheduling tools like Reclaim.ai and Clockwise, differentiating itself with a combined task-and-project-management layer on top of automatic calendar scheduling. It is often mentioned alongside Superhuman in this space.
