Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Matt, the CEO of Clockwise, and I’m thrilled to be back here with our biggest launch to date. Eight years ago, Clockwise started on a path to solve how inefficiently teams manage their time with a calendar solution that dynamically reacts to scheduling conflicts as things change throughout the work week. So, instead of manually calculating all the myriad downstream impacts of a single meeting being scheduled, your calendar essentially optimizes itself around the clock. Today, we’re announcing what I believe is set to make an even bigger dent in solving the scheduling problem: Prism, a first-of-its-kind intelligent calendar. Prism lets you tap into the magic of Clockwise, unlocking a whole new way to manage your workday. Here are some of the highlights: 🪄 Schedule the impossible - Powered by our scheduling engine’s capability to test millions of event arrangements across calendars, Prism makes it easy to find time on even the busiest of days. With just a few words or clicks, you can make way for urgent priorities unlike ever before. ❇️ Schedule at the best time, every time - Clockwise doesn’t just find open slots. It uncovers the best time to schedule anything from a 1:1 to a 10-person meeting—all based on our deep understanding of you and your colleague’s calendars and preferences. ⚡️ Reschedule lightning-fast - Need to reschedule in a pinch? Sick kid at home or running late from an appointment? Head to Prism and simply ask to “reschedule my afternoon” and we’ll take care of the rest. 💬 Bring the scheduling magic to Slack - Simply type your scheduling need (e.g. “Book 30 minutes with Jason tomorrow”) alongside the /cw slash command in Slack to use Clockwise to find time, right where your conversations are already happening. ✅ Never miss a to-do - Pop your to-do list into the Prism chat to convert tasks into flexible holds on your calendar. And so much more… All this is made possible because Clockwise uses the powerful natural language processing capabilities of LLMs to translate your calendar request into its proprietary scheduling engine to understand exactly what you want when it comes to your calendar. Married with Clockwise’s ability to analyze vast amounts of data across multiple calendars at once – Prism is the most intelligent calendar that’s ever existed.

@voxmatt @kacy_boone1 Congrats on your latest launch. Love that Clockwise goes the extra mile unlike tools like Calendly :)
Matt Martin
@kacy_boone1 @rohanrecommends thanks Rohan! We certainly believe intelligent tools like Prism will increasingly make tools like Calendly feel very primitive!

@rohanrecommends @voxmatt thank you, Rohan! We care a lot about making scheduling easier for busy people. Appreciate your support!

@voxmatt Congrats on the launch! 🎉 I’m excited about the advancements you’ve made. The integration with Slack and natural language processing capabilities sound like game-changers for managing complex schedules. Could you elaborate on how Prism handles conflicting events across multiple calendars? Also, how does it ensure privacy and security when analyzing and managing scheduling data? Looking forward to trying it out!
Ana
@voxmatt @devindsgbyq thanks for the support! If you have more than one calendar, you can choose to connect another calendar in settings. While a single Prism account focuses on a primary calendar for now, the additional calendar is used to know what times you may be unavailable, which is considered in Prism interactions. For your privacy concerns, we don’t train the AI with user data in any way and all of the experience is designed with user privacy in mind. More here: https://www.getclockwise.com/pri...

Scheduling should be easy and intuitive. Not all blank timeslots are equal, and Prism brings so much more context when I view our teammates' calendars layered over each other and hunt for a good slot to meet -- so much less stress and guilt about creating disruption 🙌 So proud of what we've built together!

Clockwise has dramatically reduced the time I spend on tedious calendar tasks at work, whether it’s slotting in meetings or quickly handling various scheduling issues as they come up. So excited!
Linda Pei
This has definitely been a game changer for me! It's helped me save so much time doing tedious calendaring at work, whether it's playing calendar tetris to find a spot for a meeting, or quickly resolving a whole myriad of issues as they come up. Try it out and let us know what you think!

This sounds impressive, Matt! I'm curious about the AI behind Prism—how does it learn individual preferences over time? Is there a way for users to tweak settings to better align with their specific workflow? Also, I'm interested in how data privacy is handled with all this processing.
Matt Martin
@dance17219 great questions! All user preferences are customizable in Clockwise settings where you can let Prism know everything from your working hours to when you prefer to have focus time. Right now, the AI doesn’t use prompts to learn over time; all of this is handled more explicitly in settings. This intersects with your question about privacy. We don’t train the AI with user data in any way and all of the experience is designed with user privacy in mind. More here: https://www.getclockwise.com/pri... Thanks for the questions!

Yay, congrats team! One of my fave things to use Prism for is bulk scheduling — literally had to schedule 30+ meetings from April to July with 8+ people across multiple timezones on some pretty dense schedules, yikes! Prism made it happen in just a few seconds. Love it.

Hey, it's Krishnan, Product at Clockwise. Now, I'm definitely biased, but for me Clockwise has fulfilled the great promise of every productivity tool ever built by humanity since we were hunter-gatherers - the promise of more time to add more value. With our newest launch, I find it so easy to find the best time all the time to collaborate with everyone I work with - a truly intelligent calendar. I can't wait for you to try it.
Vicky Thomas
@krishnan_raghupathi but would you say.... *product*-hunter-gatherers? :P

Alexandre Contador
This looks exactly what every team should have. Would you implement a meeting ROI and spending when there are too many meetings? (Wonderful for management) Congrats on the launch 🙌
Vicky Thomas
@alexdigitalmkt thanks Alexandre - we think so, too! Meeting ROI and spending isn't currently on our roadmap, but we have definitely heard that request before! In the meantime, you might like our Focus Time feature that helps move meetings around automatically to create more time in your day for deep work.

The integration with Slack and the ability to handle complex scheduling with AI is impressive. Can't wait to try it out! 🚀

Clockwise Prism could revolutionize my scheduling chaos. How do you think AI calendars will change our daily routines?
Michael Tappel
@william_jin Clockwise Product Manager here! I would bet that in the near-term, we don't replace people's daily routines so much as we augment them and make them less tedious. For instance, if you're someone who likes to start off your day with an hour of prep time: - Intelligent calendars like Prism can help you block off that time in a snap (and make it flexible in case it needs to shift) - During your prep time, if you need to reshuffle the events in your day, you'll be able to do so easily with a calendar that understands your intent and your preferences. I'm sure we'll all be learning more as we go!
Ritvik Mishra
Very cool, excited to try this out!
Vicky Thomas
@ritvik_mishra Thanks Ritvik! We think you'll love it.
Michael Tappel
@ritvik_mishra Great for scheduling everything from a 1:1 with your cat to an all-hands at a trailhead on Thursday mornings!

As an EM, I just don't see my work being done effectively without Clockwise anymore. With Flexible Meetings, all of my 1:1s find a convenient slot in my calendar while leaving me with Focus Time to get things done! My favorite features are: - No Meeting Day (Seriously, having one day to catch up on the Need to be Done is amazing) - Upcoming Meeting (1 Click Join) and of course just having that X-Ray vision into how my scheduling affects others just makes it easier to schedule with empathy, as I am better aware of the impact on other calendars!
Kat Corzati
I love that we've worked on making a tool that can actually, actively make just about everyone's workday better. With Prism, I can say, 'hey, I’m sick, move all of today’s meetings to later this week,' or, 'find the best time to meet with these 3 coworkers to reduce the amount of interruptions in all our days,' or even 'I need more focus time this week, reschedule all my 1:1s this week to next week.' AND I can do it without leaving Slack. It takes off the pressure of having to overlay a bunch of calendars, hunt and squint to see the likely-best free-ish space with a ton of attendees, and feel good about the decision. Finally, I can trust that my calendar will do that for me – and for all of us in those meetings. I can meet my heads-down goals while letting those with busier schedules have smoother days, and I can more easily find time for external meetings when working on troubleshooting with customers in Support. It's incredible.
Erin Dieringer
I no longer even need to use Google calendar thanks to Prism. It handles all of my scheduling needs, even the ones I didn't know were possible before before Prism! Gone are the days of painstakingly hunting for open spots to schedule with my manager, PM, designers, etc. Prism handles it all seamlessly.
Dustin Richard Locke
It's SO fun to see a calendar built for complex scheduling. I can't wait for all the folks who spend their lives furiously clicking around GCal to see how much time they get back.
Ana
As a team of one who collaborates across multiple teams here at Clockwise, Prism has been a lifesaver! I can count on Prism to have my back by suggesting less disruptive times to those scheduling with me and in a pinch, I can move meetings out of the way to handle urgent tasks.
Raghavendra Devadiga
Congrats on the launch! The ability to schedule the impossible is going to be a lifesaver for busy managers 🙌

It looks promising, especially with its ability to find optimal meeting times and reschedule swiftly using natural language commands. This can definitely take the stress out of coordinating meetings and allow teams to focus on what truly matters. Excited to give it a try. Congrats!
Kat Corzati
@tigerl Thanks for the support! We hope it takes the heavy lift of juggling all the needs we have in our day-to-day schedules.
Jessica Lea
It's been amazing seeing how far Prism has come from its earliest days, it really does make scheduling so easy! I don't have to schedule meetings often, but it's so nice that when I DO have to find time (especially with multiple people) it's so easy.
Tony Han
I wish I had this when I was trying to schedule important meetings with more than five people! It's a ripple effect that's really hard to coordinate because in order to make one meeting work, others have to move their meetings, yada yada. It's about time that we get AI to do this tedious work! How does AI deal with people who are SO booked like double booked the whole day? I assume Clockwise works to help individuals as well as the whole team to improve their schedules? Congrats on this launch @voxmatt and team!
Vicky Thomas
@voxmatt @tonyhanded Preach!! And yes, that's exactly right - Clockwise helps the whole team improve schedules! The more meetings you mark flexible (including setting more granular flex settings, like "move within the day" or "move Tues or Wed between 9-12pm"), the more Clockwise can help deconflict things. Clockwise will clear those conflicts up once a day during the organization-wide optimization, and then will also help by suggesting to move (multiple, if necessary) conflicts out of the way when you're trying to get a new meeting on the calendar.
