Weft vs Motion
Motion is an AI work app that schedules your tasks into your calendar.
Motion's core idea is auto-scheduling: you add tasks with priorities and deadlines, and its AI places them into free slots on your calendar, re-planning as the day changes. Around that it has grown projects, docs, meeting notes and AI workflows. Weft solves a different problem: it is a Scrumban board that the AI assistant you already use — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor — reads and changes over MCP, so what you plan in a conversation lands on the board without copying.

When Motion is the right choice
- Your day is a calendar problem: you want tasks placed into time slots automatically and re-planned when meetings move.
- You want calendar, meeting notes, docs and projects in one paid app.
- You want the AI built into the tool rather than using your own assistant.
When Weft is the right choice
- You plan with ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor and want that assistant to create and move tasks itself, through an official MCP server.
- You want to start free — Weft has a free plan; Motion starts with a paid trial.
- You think in a board and sprints, not in calendar slots.
- Budget matters — Weft is $60 per seat a year; Motion’s cheapest plan is $19 per seat a month, billed annually.
How to switch
Motion documents no task export; its API, with an API key, is the way to get tasks out. Once you have the list of open tasks, paste it into your AI — bulk_create_tasks lands them on the board in one call.
