Clockwise is an advanced calendar management tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize your schedule, enhance productivity, and achieve a better work-life balance.
What Clockwise Does
Clockwise acts as a personal scheduling assistant, integrating with your existing calendar system to analyze and optimize your schedule. It automates the logistics of scheduling, reschedules conflicting events, and ensures that your workday is structured efficiently. By performing millions of calculations daily, Clockwise identifies the best possible calendar arrangements to fit your needs and preferences.
Key Features and Functionality
Intelligent Scheduling
Clockwise uses AI algorithms to suggest the most convenient times for meetings based on your availability, location, and priorities. It considers multiple calendars simultaneously, evaluating which meetings are flexible and uncovering additional meeting times that may not appear as available.
Calendar Optimization
The tool rearranges your calendar to create efficient blocks of time for focused work. It groups similar tasks together, minimizes context switching, and maximizes productivity throughout the day. Clockwise also clears your afternoons and reschedules meetings when you are out of the office, all while maintaining your workday preferences.
Focus Time Management
Clockwise allows you to block dedicated focus time in your calendar, automatically declining any meeting requests that overlap with these protected periods. It optimizes for 2 hour blocks of focus time when possible but will also schedule 60-90 minute blocks when the week is busy. This feature helps you stay focused on important tasks without interruptions.
Flexible Meetings and Holds
Clockwise automatically moves meetings marked as flexible to optimal times, creating focus time and resolving conflicts. It also holds time for important tasks and routines, such as lunch or running errands, and adjusts these events as your calendar evolves.
Smart Meeting Breaks and Travel Time
The tool creates gaps between long blocks of meetings for breaks and automatically recognizes external meeting locations to protect the necessary transit time on your schedule.
Integration and Real-Time Updates
Clockwise integrates seamlessly with popular calendar applications and tools like Slack, allowing you to schedule meetings directly in Slack and sync your meeting status. It provides real-time updates to ensure your calendar is always current and minimizes distractions by silencing notifications during focus time.
Personal Calendar Sync and Customizations
Clockwise can sync events from your personal Google Calendar to your work calendar, ensuring you never miss important personal appointments. It also allows you to communicate your working hours and preferred meeting hours, which are respected when optimizing your calendar.
Color Coding and Visual Insights
The tool offers automatic color-coding to help you see your week at a glance, providing a clear visual representation of your schedule.
GPT-Powered Chat Functionality
Clockwise features a chat functionality powered by GPT, enabling you to manage your calendar using natural language. You can schedule new meetings, reschedule focus time, and change event recurrence frequencies with ease.
By combining these features, Clockwise streamlines your scheduling process, enhances your productivity, and helps you achieve a more balanced and efficient work-life routine.
