Clockwise, a smart scheduling and calendar tool, has recently made significant changes to its interface with the introduction of an AI-powered assistant named Prism. This innovative assistant is designed to help users manage scheduling conflicts, create or clear events in bulk, and seamlessly turn to-do lists into calendar blocks through text prompts.
One of the key features of Prism is its ability to interpret typed instructions and convert them into calendar events. For example, users can simply type a query like, “Create a link to schedule a meeting with Severian next week,” and Prism will generate a link or text block that can be shared to coordinate availability. Moreover, if a proposed meeting time conflicts with another event, Prism will suggest an alternative time slot, making scheduling a breeze.
Prism also offers the functionality to share suggested meeting times with other participants through a link. This link not only facilitates responses from participants but also highlights potential conflicts in schedules. In urgent meeting situations, Prism can analyze various team members’ schedules to identify an optimal time and automatically reschedule conflicting events. Additionally, users can schedule tasks directly from their to-do lists and easily adjust them in case of unexpected meetings.
With commands like “Reschedule my afternoon” or “Clear my Monday morning,” users can swiftly make adjustments to their schedules. Matt Martin, CEO of Clockwise, emphasized the extensive development behind Prism’s capabilities, including a custom scheduling engine that can interpret natural language queries and resolve conflicts efficiently. This advanced engine has been refined over seven years to ensure that Prism can quickly make informed decisions and find the best time slots for tasks and meetings.
Clockwise has made Prism available for free to all customers and is actively working on enhancing its integration with Google Calendar and providing better support for weekly schedules. This commitment to continuous improvement underscores Clockwise’s dedication to revolutionizing the way teams and individuals manage their schedules, making the process more intuitive and efficient than ever before.
