Short answer
How do I move tasks between projects with AI?
You tell your AI which task to move and where it should go. It identifies your existing workspaces and projects, then executes the move for you. You'll get a clean, reorganized Motion setup.
Where tasks land.
Clean up your workspace structure.
Your AI handles the heavy lifting of moving data around your Motion account.
CLEANUP
Consolidated projects
The AI identifies tasks sitting in the wrong place. It moves them to the correct project so your task lists stay relevant.
MAPPING
Accurate workspace views
By moving tasks to the right workspaces, your high-level views finally match your actual work. Everything lands where it belongs.
REORGANIZATION
Updated project lists
The AI updates your project hierarchy. You get a tidy structure that reflects your current priorities instead of old, messy folders.
REVIEW
Human verification
The AI tells you exactly what it moved. You decide if the new placement is right or if you need to move it back.
The workflow
What your AI does when the request arrives.
The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Motion data.
Locate your structure
The AI looks at your current Motion setup to find the right targets. It needs to know which workspaces and projects exist before it can move anything.
list_workspaceslist_projectsIdentify the task
Your agent finds the specific task you mentioned in your chat. It matches your description to the actual task ID in Motion.
list_projectsExecute the move
Once the task and the new destination are identified, the AI performs the transfer. It shifts the task to the new project instantly.
move_taskConfirm the change
The AI reports back that the task has been moved. You can then check your Motion dashboard to see the updated project list.
