What is Motion?

Motion is an AI planner that automatically schedules your tasks and projects into your calendar around meetings. People use it to stop deciding what to work on next. Getting tasks into Motion from emails, meetings and notes is the step that remains manual. This connection lets Fabric's assistant handle it for you, in plain language.

What Fabric's assistant can do with Motion

Once Motion is connected, Fabric's AI assistant can feed your planner from a simple request.

Add tasks. Create Task adds a task with a deadline and priority, and Motion schedules it into your calendar. Ask the assistant to turn the action items from your meeting notes into Motion tasks.

Start projects. Create Project sets up a new project for a larger piece of work.

Find and update tasks. Find Task looks up a task and Update Task changes it, such as a new deadline or priority.

You stay in control

The assistant works from your instructions, and finding tasks never changes anything.

When a job should run regularly, a Fabric AI job can run on a schedule, such as adding a weekly review task every Friday.
