The AI Virtual Assistant | Motion App Review

As I opened Instagram one day I stumbled across this ad with a very blunt statement: To-do lists are dead, it said. You no longer have to manually plan your day with a to-do list and your calendar because this new app called motion was able to plan your day with artificial intelligence.

They also stated that the app would help me get 25% more done. Let me tell you — I was intrigued.

I’ve been using this app for month now and it has totally changed my life.

Great video! You saved a lot of my time! :)

[ValmisFilm]

this app advertising is EVERYWHERE! And thanks to this video I will not even try it. Did not look like something that would help me. Thanks for the review!

[leigha]

Thank you for this review, super helpful. Saved me so much time trying it out myself!

[RonAddis]

Thank you for making this video.
This presentation saved me the rabbit hole I would have fallen into.

Ive been fiddling with this app for several hours and since it was unable to sync properly with my ical, it pulled my workday schedule in - incorrectly and the times were inaccurate like caregiving for my mom at 12 am on weekends but during the daytime hours during the week. Not really worth it, but great potential

I used to be so stubborn about only writing my to do lists and plans on paper but I’ve recently been trying to get out of that to be more efficient and it’s made a world of a difference 💜

Considering this is now 2 years old, I'm sure some of these issues have been addressed and fixed?

I spent a good 3 days fiddling with this app myself and had pretty much the same experience - it took more work to teach the app how to do things, than to actually use it. And it was SO expensive for what that was (Definitely more than $20 a month). It was so incredibly unpredictable that it was more overwhelming than taking half the time to implement a GTD system.

You can create dependencies between related tasks in a project. Theyre called BLOCKERS in Motion. As long as tasks are within the same project, they can be halted and ordered according the sequential order they must be done in.

So I cannot speak for the timeline that you made this vid, however It does seem like they have revisited almost all of the points you have mentioned. I am using it now and I am very happy with it. That being said, I am no longer paying out of pocket. I paid for about 6~ months and then work started picking up the tab. when this tool can get you 20-25% more productive, at the enterprise level, its worth every penny.

Thank you for making the video. A yr later, have you used it since?

[stevereaver]

This was two years ago, has the app improved since then ?

[Nottoday]

What do you recommend for someone that has a task that has to be broken in different task or sub task as you said on this video?

[ssjordan]

wish there was a way to color the tasks for each project so i don't have to write the name of the projects on each task

[Mobzilla]

I don’t think anything has changed with the app. I really appreciate this video bc I thought maybe I was using it wrong

[morganmeese]

I've been watching your videos for years and they've been so helpful! I'm so glad I watched this one, saved me so much time because I definitely would have fiddled with the app forever. Thank you!

For the tasks that you want to do in order you can create blocking(dependencies) Block Turn in report to not show up on your calendar until after you have written the report and like wise brainstormed for the report.

RIP, I thought the app was going to be cooler. Maybe this is just the beginning of AI personal assistants...maybe it will get better with time
