How do you think Motion compares to PlanPlus online?

[@MrWnw]

How can I trust a review if it ends with an affiliate link..?

[@Hirokiji]

its a heck of alot of work flling out all those bloody details. I'd need an assistant to spend the time populating all the details... I almost signed up but after watching this, I'm glad I didn't. It's not very AI at all.

[@Kamrulschowdhury]

Hit the nail on the head! After watching this video, I taking account the cost and the amount of data I need to input, it's way too complicated and definitely not user friendly on the data input side.

[@gianmarcopow-sang8690]

I came up with an alternative that solved this problem using Todoist, Reclaim, add Morgen Calendar. All I have to do is open Todoist quick add and type my task with a couple of keywords (eg “email Tom p1 tomorrow 5p for 15 min”). That tells it the task (email Tom) the priority (priority 1) due date (tomorrow 5pm) and the duration (15 min). That is fed into reclaim ai (with its Todoist integration) and schedules it. Reclaim is in the background and I almost never open it. Then both are connected to morgen, which is my front end. Then I just tick the tasks as done on Morgen as I do them and reclaim reorganizes things as needed It sounds like a lot hit once it’s set up it’s seamless. I think the monthly cost of all three is on par of the monthly cost of motion, and Morgen as a front end (combined with Todoist for strictly the quick add functionality) is leagues better than motions interface

[@bproducer]

Motion is automation, NOT A.I.

[@FlorianMarketing]

I was just thinking that haha. It seems like it's just hard coded to order things by date, time and priority -- They just say it's AI to make it sound cool

[@diederickhoogendijk5070]

@@FlorianMarketing That's what it sounds like indeed

[@Sem5626]

it’s a few lines of python to do what this thing does, it’s a massive scam lol

[@iceshadow487]

If you really want to get pedantic, it actually is AI. Automation is a subset of AI. AI has many definitions, but one of the earliest definitions that most people in the field like to point at is: "The study of conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it." - Dartmouth Workshop on AI, 1956

[@ter2645]

If the app does only that what is in the video, yes. In this case, Notion is much better with its flexibility in automations.

[@SKEL_YT]

I’m searching for an app like that to get organized. The thing is I’ve got a lot of personal projects to work on and I like the fact that motion organizes it all for you. BUT for most of the things I’ve got to do, I don’t really have deadlines. These are projects I constantly need to work on. Some need more work done than others but I’m wondering if Motion could work with this? No special priority etc.. and the need to organize pretty much all of my personal projects in chunks to not make me work on project A the whole Monday then project B the following day etc.. and not keep it exactly the same and especially having the ability to add important tasks between all of this. Could it be useful? Thank you so much!

[@Submersed24]

The problem with scheduling like this is it never ends up working out that way and random tasks end up falling out of sync

[@emdee1137]

Hm, what do you mean exactly? Because the tasks are not synchronized?

[@toto26291]

Really missing the feature where you can use your voice to create tasks with AI. Without it it is too much time filling out all the details. It would completely replace an assistant and the software would make so much more sense and stand out.

[@eslialessa4059]

Did you already find something? :D

[@kimariaunique]

I had it for year and only used it for a month or two. I spent more time (+ money) trying to plan/ figure it out. Google calendars was a lot easier. If I had a team and an assistant I would buy this for them. So they could collaborate + plan my schedule with another companies schedule.

[@Kamrulschowdhury]

Good video, made me realise I don't need such a complicated over priced system. Definitely over hyped!

[@alistairwood1800]

Should probably mention in the pricing if you want 2 users, you are forced to pay for 3, 4 users, forced to pay for 5. Or you can select another product if you're not keen on paying for users that you are not using.

Astrology is idiotic

[@codependentmillennial]

This is insane😂😂😂😂

[@Goodpsychiatry]

Is Motion an active project? The app feels very alpha, and there isn't much activity or roadmap. I'm looking for a solid platform to migrate to, but I don't want to risk all that work for something that will be gone in a year.

[@imtiahmed2001]

19 - 34 dollars per month for this sounds freaking cruel!

[@toolfinderhq]

Aha.

[@dilwodan]

Well time is money and if it saves you a few hours in gained efficiency...and you earn more than minimum wage it's paid for itself.

[@garymcadamspa8450]

Does Motion auto sync with Apple Calendar?

[@flutterby.222]

3:08 regarding breaking down projects into task lists, you say that you can break them down by task or "can ban"?? ...as well as a (what?) view... I replayed this part several times and turned on closed captioning, still no idea what you said.

[@SchwarzRund]

Kanban, it is a formally analog system :)

[@barbarab202]

Does this integrate with Outlook?

[@mattboh69]

I like the idea of it but don’t want to pay, maybe ai can help me code my own local version 😅

[@Sem5626]

dude it’s like 4 lines in python, this thing is a scam you don’t need AI at all

[@claude13]

[@APFoodEvents]

[@u305098]

This looks like way too much work

[@slagebobs4109]

I found this review to be actually quite bad. Very little in the form of explaining scenarios where the tool could be useful, then demoing how it's used. For instance, how does Motion help me accommodate when I have an all-hands fire drill at work that blows up half by day and delays all my projects? That seems like the sweet spot of the tool, but isn't explained in any meaningful detail at all.

[@toolfinderhq]

We demonstrated the tool that allows you to move all tasks forward by whatever time period, this is helpful in your scenario. This can be accessed on all day view. Thanks and hope this helps.

[@masasmith1591]

I guess I don't need this,,,,

[@Justin-General]

Shhhehhh-duling? What's that?

[@JonathanAV2010]

This is like Microsoft Teams with Outlook

[@gabriusv]

As someone who works in the Microsoft suite, which includes Teams & Outlook... What in the world are you talking about? Did you mean Microsoft Projects? Microsoft Tasks? Outlook To-do? Those are 3 real task applications all by Microsoft in the same suite. Even giving you the benefit of doubt, NONE of these apps use automation to schedule and slot tasks into your calendar.

[@brandonroberts5058]

I stopped listening when you said scheduling

[@lifeartpixels]

This is such BS. What's Ai about this, you are filling everhtbing in yourself. Can use outlook calendar ffs.
