Our take
Clockwise’s AI-enabled calendar assistant integrates with a user’s Google suite, Slack and Asana App, automatically rescheduling conflicting meetings and freeing up blocks of time for “focused work”. It does this by dovetailing with the user’s preferences for weekly “focus time”, all in a bid to allow better productivity by giving workers more control over their day.
Since the shift to remote work, there’s been a rise in meeting times, with Clockwise finding that 60% of people see meeting scheduling as a major pain point. It is not alone in combatting this problem, competing with rivals such as Calendly, Doodle and Reclaim - though the company claims it stands out by bringing multiple schedules together at the organizational level, rather than after.
The company's product has been used by high profile clients including Netflix, Twitter, Vimeo, Airtable and HubSpot. Investment raised in 2022 is supporting the advancement of its AI tech, widening its business reach, and building up its team across departments.
