Harry Qi

Harry Qi is co-founder and CEO of Motion, the AI work-management and calendar company he started with Omid Rooholfada and Ethan Yu. A Y Combinator W20 company, Motion markets itself as an agentic suite that schedules tasks around meetings and deadlines instead of leaving that reshuffle to humans.

YC W20 and the Motion bet

Public founder listings and YC materials name Qi as CEO of Motion, with Rooholfada and Yu as co-founders. The company's pitch grew from AI time-blocking into a broader work suite that claims to plan work for both human teammates and AI employees.

Under Qi, Motion has positioned itself against both classic calendars and project tools by owning the reschedule loop: when priorities shift, the calendar should move with them. That operating thesis is what AIR's review places in the AI calendar and scheduling lane.
