Motion

Motion is an AI-powered productivity platform in the project and time management category, with paid plans starting at $19 per month (billed annually). Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, Motion emerged from the Y Combinator W20 batch and has since raised over $13 million in venture funding. It unifies project management, calendar scheduling, task management, meeting coordination, and knowledge capture into a single platform designed for professionals, teams, and service businesses.

At the core of Motion is its AI Project Manager, which plans and manages projects automatically by allocating resources, sequencing tasks, and adjusting timelines as priorities shift. The AI Gantt Chart visualizes projects over time with auto-scheduling, making it easier to see dependencies and deadlines at a glance. For repeatable processes, AI Workflows let teams automate standard operating procedures and recurring project templates, reducing manual setup time for common initiatives.

On the time management side, Motion's AI Task Manager organizes and prioritizes individual tasks based on deadlines, importance, and available time. The AI Calendar takes these tasks and auto-plans each day by slotting them into open calendar blocks, dynamically rescheduling when meetings are added or priorities change. The AI Meeting Assistant simplifies meeting scheduling through intelligent booking links that respect user availability and preferences.

Motion has been expanding its knowledge management capabilities. The platform offers an AI Meeting Notetaker that auto-captures meeting notes and generates summaries. Motion has also announced or rolled out additional AI features including AI Chat for moving from question to action, AI Dashboards for tracking project progress across teams, and an AI Docs Assistant for writing and organizing internal documentation — though availability of these newer features may vary by plan and rollout stage.

Motion targets specific industries including IT service providers, marketing agencies, design agencies, law firms, consulting businesses, construction companies, and real estate management firms. Within organizations, it supports functional teams like startups, sales teams, and executive teams. The platform integrates with tools such as Zoom, Google Calendar, Outlook, Zapier, and Slack through its integrations hub, offering over 2,000 connections via its Zapier integration, allowing users to connect their existing stack.

Motion has been recognized in G2's auto-scheduling and project management categories and reports that its AI scheduling engine processes millions of scheduling decisions per week across its user base. According to Motion, users save an average of two hours per day by eliminating manual scheduling and prioritization.

Motion offers four pricing tiers: an Individual plan at $19 per month (billed annually) or $34 per month (billed monthly), a Business Standard plan at $12 per user per month (billed annually) or $20 per user per month (billed monthly), a Business Pro plan with additional automation and meeting intelligence features (pricing available upon request), and a custom-priced Enterprise tier. By automating the mechanics of planning — what to work on, when to work on it, and how projects should progress — Motion consolidates calendars, to-do lists, project trackers, and meeting notes under one AI-driven interface, replacing the need to juggle separate single-purpose tools.
