3 Best AI Agent (AI Employee) Software & Tools 2025

What really is there to say? Everyone is trying to build a OpenAI (ChatGPT) into their product right now. It's the closest thing we've seen to magic in an incredibly long time.

OpenAI is general artificial intelligence. You can ask it questions, and it'll answer them, like a human. You can ask it to write code for you, and it'll build it, all while explaining the why and how.

Engineering friends of mine are worried that it'll replace their job, and yet they are using it to become a better engineer (using it to teach them different coding languages).

The craziest thing of it all, anyone can use it, and you don't even need to be technical to use it. Just visit ChatGPT here and start asking it questions. You'll be amazed by what it can do. If you're more technical, then be sure to check out the actual API and see where you can fit it into what you're building (I mean everyone else is).

What is Sintra AI?

Sintra is an AI-powered business assistant for people who have very little experience using AI but want to dabble more with it. Instead of you prompting the AI, Sintra's  "helpers" ask you simple questions, review your website, and proactively suggest business tasks like improving web copy, writing email sequences, or creating content calendars. It’s designed to make AI feel fun and easy for overwhelmed business owners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Extremely easy to use, no prompt engineering needed
• Gamified onboarding, feels more like a game than a tool
• AI Helpers are proactive, they suggest work rather than wait for your input
• Gets better the more it learns about your business

Cons

• Underwhelming execution, the work it "does" is 20–30% usable at best
• Not for serious users, feels very “kiddish”
• Data sensitivity concerns, it asked deeply personal business questions that we did not feel comfortable answering
• Short-lived value, after the first day of using Sintra the novelty wore off
• No free tier, you pay upfront to try it (although you can request a refund within the first 2 weeks if you're not impressed)

How Sintra AI Compares

If you're already using ChatGPT for your business, especially if you've been using it for a while, it will execute better on tasks than Sintra.

Motion also launched AI Employees, which have some similarities with Sintra but we find Motion executes on tasks better as it has more context on your business. Further, Motion is a serious project management tool with the AI Employees as a bonus, while Sintra's main value prop is just the "AI Helpers".

Motion (also often referred to as Use Motion or Motion App) is our top pick for project management for teams. The reason we love it (and why we switched after using Asana for 7 years!) is because it’s not just a tool to manage your work. It actually helps us get work done faster.

Let us explain:

You enter your projects and tasks, and Motion’s AI automatically schedules them on your calendar. More than that, it takes your entire schedule into account (meetings, personal appointments, etc) to accurately predict when work will get done (and if you’ll meet your deadlines as a team).

Recently, Motion even added AI Employees. You can assign tasks to AI Employees to handle things like writing blog posts, creating social content, drafting email responses, and even providing coaching on where you and your team can improve.

So with that, at its core, Motion is really an AI assistant. It pulls together all this unique information and uses it to build your most productive day, making it one of the best tools on the market for actually getting more done.

Compared to other top project management tools, Motion is far ahead when it comes to leveraging AI to help teams get ahead 🚀

‍

If you've heard of the productivity app terminology of "time blocking", well Motion does that automatically using AI, no manual time blocking needed.

With your entire team using Motion, it's like you have a full-time personal assistant shared across the company, ensuring that everyone is getting deep work done all while focusing on what is most important (at the most ideal time), all while making sure that no one is ever double-booked.

All of this makes for an incredibly powerful tool for individuals, but exponentially more valuable with every additional team member you add. No other project management or daily planner tool on the market seems to go to this degree.

Motion Pros & Cons

Pros

• Most useful AI in a project management tool: Out of all the PM tools we’ve tried, Motion is way ahead when it comes to implementing AI in a way that actually helps teams work smarter and faster.
• Predictive Workload: Motion gives you a heads-up if deadlines are at risk.
• AI Employees: Motion is pouring a ton into their AI Employees, and they just keep getting better. From meeting coaches (our fave) to marketing assistants, they are real teammates that actually help you get work done.

Cons

• Custom Integration Required for Large Teams: Large teams (100–500) with other enterprise software implemented will find integrating Motion more involved than other enterprise tools. When using an enterprise software stack like that of Salesforce, it's common for other project management tools to have native integrations.
• Minimal Reporting & Dashboards: Motion currently lacks advanced reporting and dashboard functionality. So while you can see at a top-level the status of projects and tasks in Kanban and List views, even a team workload view, that's about where reporting dashboards end, making it less suitable for large teams requiring extensive project analytics.

Motion App Key Features

Project Management

As compared to some of the best project management software on the market often mentioned like Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Motion has taken their sights on slightly smaller teams of between 1–100 people.

This team size target is based on their current feature-set, from what we've seen. For example, the larger teams that we work with who have many layers of management often require reporting capabilities over everything else. And with Motion, that's not something you're going to get, because they are currently focused on giving the only AI project management tool on the market focused on helping the individual and teams, over the needs of upper-management.

So if you and your team are used to spending a lot of time planning deadlines, and rearranging your "My Task" view in the existing tools on the market, Motion flips this on it's head with the use of AI. Something to consider if you're fed up with the manual work involved with traditional project management tools.

Daily Planner

Compared to the best daily planner apps on the market like Sunsama and Akiflow, Motion is the only daily planner we've seen that actually leverages AI to plan your day for you. With all of the other apps in the category, you need to manually drag in tasks to time block and plan each day. This is an incredibly time consuming process, that some justify as being "more mindful", but once you actually have AI schedule your day for you, you realize how much time is actually wasted "mindfully planning your day".

AI Employees

At its core, Motion is a project management tool. That's the backbone. But they have AI Employees that pull context from your tasks, projects, AI notes, and meeting notes. The more you put in, the smarter it gets.

So if you're a team that has wanted to implement AI more, but haven't really been sure "how", Motion is making incredibly easy and accessible. It's giving all teams the opportunity to leverage AI and hire only for roles that AI can't handle.

AI Meeting Recorder

We LOVE Motion's Meeting Recorder, and if you're already using Motion for your projects, there's really no reason to use another one. It automatically joins your meetings (you just have to let it in), records video and text, and then uses AI to organize the notes for you. It also automatically creates tasks from the meeting notes and all you need to do is approve or deny them.

AI Docs

Motion’s AI Docs are super handy for keeping processes and notes right inside your projects, perfect if you don’t already have a knowledge base. That said, don't expect them to be as powerful as Notion or Slite. They are more to be used for basic documentation and notes. The best part of Motion AI Docs is that you can quickly tag projects and tasks, so that everything is conneted and integrated.

Calendar Scheduler

Compared to the best calendar schedulers on the market like Calendly and Chili Piper, Motion bakes in the core functionality of these tools, with the added visibility of team tasks and urgent deadlines, actually booking off availability for you and your team if high priority work needs to get done by a quickly approaching deadline.
