A Competitive Edge in Scheduling
In a market where productivity tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Clockwise stands out with Prism, particularly in comparison to rivals like YC-backed Vimcal and Reclaim, the latter recently acquired by Dropbox. While Clockwise is primarily targeted at companies and team schedules, its features remain accessible to individual users as well.
Intelligent Scheduling Assistance
Prism’s AI capabilities allow users to transform text instructions into calendar events seamlessly. For instance, by typing, “Create a link to schedule a meeting with Severian next week,” users receive a shareable link or a text block showing their availability. If a meeting time conflicts with an existing event, Prism will proactively suggest an alternative time slot, ensuring optimal scheduling without manual intervention.
Another notable feature is the ability to share a link with suggested meeting times. When recipients view the link, they can see potential conflicts, streamlining the coordination process. In cases of urgent meetings, Prism can analyze the schedules of all involved team members, find the best available time, and automatically reschedule any conflicting events.
Task Scheduling and Bulk Event Management
Prism also brings efficiency to task management. Users can schedule tasks directly from a to-do list, and if an unexpected meeting arises, those tasks can be easily rescheduled. Additionally, the AI assistant enables bulk scheduling of similar meetings across multiple participants. A simple command like, “Schedule 15-minute one-on-ones with Frank, Robin, Nami, and Tony,” prompts Prism to arrange these sessions with minimal effort.
For those needing to reorganize their day quickly, commands like “Reschedule my afternoon” or “Clear my Monday morning” make rescheduling a breeze.
Advanced Scheduling Technology
Clockwise’s CEO, Matt Martin, highlighted that the company’s success lies in its robust scheduling engine. Unlike other startups that rely solely on large language models (LLMs) connected to Google Calendar APIs, Clockwise has developed a sophisticated system capable of handling complex scheduling scenarios. “We’ve spent seven years building the most advanced scheduling engine in the world, and it’s that layer that enables Prism to quickly and reliably make decisions to find the best slots for tasks and meetings,” Martin explained.
Future Enhancements
Currently, Clockwise is offering Prism for free to all its customers. The company is also working on deeper integration with Google Calendar and plans to improve support for weekly scheduling, further solidifying its position as a leader in smart scheduling solutions.
With Prism, Clockwise continues to push the boundaries of calendar management, offering users a powerful tool that combines the convenience of AI with the reliability of an advanced scheduling engine. Whether for individual users or entire teams, Clockwise’s new AI-powered interface is set to redefine how we approach time management in the digital age.
