What does Motion do?

Tool: Motion

Their Pitch

Get an unfair advantage by using AI to double productivity

It's an AI scheduler that automatically juggles your tasks and meetings without you having to play calendar Tetris every morning.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

+**You're manually shuffling 20 tasks across 3 calendars every morning** → AI automatically slots everything based on deadlines and dependencies, reschedules when meetings run long
+**Your team wastes 90 minutes in weekly standups figuring out who's blocked** → Auto-generated status updates show exactly what's stuck and why
+**Client projects miss deadlines because nobody sees the dependency chain** → Gantt charts predict exactly when you'll finish based on current capacity
+Workflow templates turn SOPs into auto-assigned task sequences - upload your client onboarding doc, get instant project structure
+AI Focus Mode blocks distractions and tells you exactly what to work on next based on priorities

>Your team misses deadlines because nobody knows what's blocking what
>You're spending 2 hours every Monday reorganizing everyone's week
>Client projects keep falling through cracks because tasks live in 5 different places

-Solo workers or tiny teams under 10 people — you're paying $20+/month for team features you'll never touch
-Anyone wanting deep customization — the AI makes decisions for you, take it or leave it
-Teams that work offline regularly — this is cloud-only and needs internet for the magic to work

*Google Calendar (where the actual scheduling magic happens - Motion lives here)
*Slack (where your team gets automatic project updates instead of asking 'what's the status?')
*Zapier (to create tasks from emails, forms, and other triggers since Motion's native integrations are limited)
*Salesforce (to turn deal stages into project tasks automatically)
*Gmail (where Motion pulls tasks from your emails so nothing falls through cracks)
*Zoom (automatically blocks focus time around your meetings)
*Asana (for teams that need Motion's AI scheduling but Asana's deeper project customization)

!Takes 1-2 weeks to trust the AI's scheduling decisions instead of second-guessing every slot
!At $20-25/user/month, you're paying premium prices even for small teams
!Limited customization means you can't tweak how the AI prioritizes — it's their algorithm or highway

Finally, something that stops you from manually moving tasks around your calendar 47 times a day.
