WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Project management teamsMotion's AI Project Manager enables teams to create entire projects in seconds by describing the project and adding relevant documents. The AI automatically generates tasks with deadlines and assignees, project stages, and dependencies with over 90% accuracy. Projects get completed 32% faster by eliminating idle time between tasks, as Motion automatically updates statuses, assigns next steps, and flags delays. This eliminates the need for manual project setup, endless status update emails, and micromanagement meetings, saving approximately 4 hours per project and reclaiming 10+ hours per week from busywork.
Individual professionalsMotion's AI Task Planner automatically detects and prioritizes the most urgent and important tasks by analyzing all projects, their priorities, dependencies, deadlines, and durations. The system builds a perfect plan that optimizes itself hundreds of times per day, ensuring users never miss deadlines by proactively warning them days or weeks in advance when tasks are at risk. The AI distinguishes between do dates and due dates, matching workload with available time. Users can create tasks from anywhere including Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, Slack, Teams, or voice commands through Siri, consolidating all tasks into one global list automatically.
Service business ownersMotion helps service businesses including IT service providers, marketing agencies, design agencies, law firms, consulting businesses, construction companies, and real estate management firms complete client projects faster and more efficiently. By automating project planning, task prioritization, and team coordination, businesses can eliminate idle time and manual status tracking. One business owner reported Motion helped make an extra $700k per year because they were able to complete client projects faster, while another company saved the equivalent of $250k annually in time previously wasted on emails and meetings.
