Motion is an AI work-management platform built on auto-scheduling calendars, now expanded into autonomous "AI Employee" agents for sales, marketing, and project workflows, serving individuals, SMBs, and enterprises.

Paid-search-led, with founder build-in-public amplifying major relaunches.

roughly 668,000 estimated monthly visits (-3.1% over the last 3 months) as of 2026-07-12; a Google Ads library built up since 2022, with 19 ads currently active; a $550M valuation on a $60M raise announced September 8, 2025.

Founder Harry Qi recounted that at $15M ARR, YC's Michael Seibel told them there was "no path to $1B ARR" because Motion was just a "very nice to have," a post that pulled 282,097 views.

Motion's ad account leans almost entirely on text search ads, some running for over 1,100 days; its video experiments have not stuck, with a cluster of new video tests in January 2026 each lasting only a single day.

Motion runs the same long-tail topics (ADHD planning, time blocking, family calendars) through both its blog and its paid search account at once, using paid spend to validate content angles and content to sustain the ones that work.
