Motion
AI auto-scheduler that builds and rebuilds your day around tasks, deadlines, and focus time
What It Does
Motion is an AI-powered productivity platform that automatically schedules tasks into your calendar based on deadlines, priorities, and available time. When plans change, the AI dynamically reschedules everything — removing the mental load of manual replanning.
AI Features (Expert Assessment)
Motion is an AI-core product — the AI scheduling engine IS the product. It uses intelligent algorithms to automatically place tasks into calendar slots, optimise task ordering by priority and deadline, and dynamically reschedule when meetings are added or plans change. This goes beyond simple reminders or to-do lists: the AI makes real scheduling decisions. It also includes AI-powered focus time protection that automatically blocks distraction-free work periods. For neurodivergent users, this directly addresses task initiation paralysis ('what should I do now?') and the 'all-or-nothing' schedule collapse that occurs when a rigid plan is disrupted. Motion takes a task-first approach — you input tasks with deadlines and let the AI build your entire day.
Who Is This For?
Autistic and ADHD adults who struggle with executive dysfunction — specifically task initiation, time blindness, and the cognitive load of planning and replanning a daily schedule.
Additional Notes
Motion is a general-purpose productivity tool, not designed specifically for autism. It requires consistent task input to work effectively — users who struggle with data entry may find the setup effort challenging. Best suited for working professionals who manage meetings alongside tasks.
