Clockwise, the innovative smart scheduling and calendar tool, has just launched a game-changing AI-powered assistant named Prism. Designed to streamline scheduling and enhance productivity, Prism introduces a host of advanced features that allow users to effortlessly manage conflicts, bulk create or clear events, and seamlessly convert to-do lists into calendar blocks—all through simple text prompts.
Competing with the likes of YC-backed Vimcal and the recently Dropbox-acquired Reclaim, Clockwise has firmly established itself as a go-to solution for companies looking to optimize team schedules. However, it remains just as powerful for individual users, offering flexible features that cater to both personal and professional needs.
Unlocking the Power of AI in Your Calendar
Prism’s AI capabilities are nothing short of impressive. With the ability to transform typed instructions into actionable calendar events, Prism takes the hassle out of scheduling. For instance, you can simply type a command like, “Create a link to schedule a meeting with Severian next week,” and Prism will generate a shareable link or text block to coordinate your availability.
If your proposed meeting time clashes with another event, Prism will automatically suggest an alternative slot, ensuring that your schedule remains conflict-free. This feature is particularly useful for busy professionals who need to juggle multiple commitments.
Simplifying Team Coordination
Prism isn’t just about personal productivity; it’s a powerful tool for team coordination as well. The AI assistant enables you to share a link with suggested meeting times, allowing participants to respond and identify potential conflicts. This collaborative approach makes it easier to find a time that works for everyone.
In urgent situations, Prism shines by analyzing team members’ schedules to find the optimal meeting time, even going as far as to reschedule conflicting events automatically. This level of automation is a game-changer for teams that need to act quickly and efficiently.
Maximize Your Productivity with Task Scheduling
Prism also takes your to-do list to the next level. With its ability to convert tasks into calendar events, you can schedule your tasks directly into your calendar, ensuring that you stay on track throughout the day. If a meeting disrupts your planned schedule, Prism allows you to easily reschedule tasks with a simple command.
Need to set up a series of one-on-one meetings? Just type, “Schedule 15-minute one-on-ones with Frank, Robin, Nami, and Tony,” and Prism will handle the rest. You can even clear or reschedule entire blocks of time with commands like, “Reschedule my afternoon” or “Clear my Monday morning,” giving you unparalleled flexibility.
A Word from Clockwise’s CEO
Matt Martin, CEO of Clockwise, emphasized the uniqueness of Prism’s underlying technology. “I’ve seen a lot of startups try to naively connect LLMs directly to Google Calendar APIs. It’s no wonder those tools fall flat on their face when you press beyond anything but the simplest use cases. 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.
What’s Next for Prism?
Clockwise is offering Prism to all customers for free, making it an accessible tool for anyone looking to enhance their scheduling experience. The company is also working on deeper integrations with Google Calendar and plans to improve support for weekly schedules, further solidifying Prism as a must-have tool for professionals and teams alike.
With Prism, Clockwise is setting a new standard for what a calendar tool can do, combining cutting-edge AI with a deep understanding of user needs to deliver a truly transformative experience.
