Short answer

How do I change task priority or due dates with AI?

Ask your AI client to change a specific task's priority or deadline. The agent updates the task in Motion, which triggers an automatic recalculation of your entire schedule. You'll see your new time blocks immediately.

The results of a change.

Where your schedule shifts.

Changing one detail forces the AI to rethink your day.

AUTO-RECALC

Instant schedule shifts

The AI updates the task and Motion automatically re-optimizes your calendar. Your new time blocks appear right away.

PRIORITY

Reordered task lists

When you bump a task to high priority, the agent moves it up in your queue. Your most important work moves to the front.

DEADLINE

Updated due dates

Changing a deadline forces the engine to find new time slots. It ensures you stay on track without manual dragging.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI handles the math and the movement. You still decide which tasks are actually important or if a deadline is realistic.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

Your agent handles the data entry and the logic behind the rescheduling.
