Clockwise has created a calendar that uses AI and ML to help take on workplace challenges such as burnout. By utilizing "time orchestration" companies can synchronize employees schedules and increase productivity. Netflix, Twitter, Coinbase, Atlassian, Asana and Airtable are just a small sampling of the companies who have optimized their calendars with Clockwise. Is it true that when employees are able to effectively manage their time we can expect them to work to their full potential and at the same time avoid roadblocks such as burnout? Burnout is a systemic issues that often stems from a companies culture.

“Clockwise is the solution to the modern workday,” Clockwise CEO Matt Martin told TechCrunch in an email. “Clockwise optimizes your team’s schedules to create more time in everyone’s day — so we can feel present when we’re working together and focused when we’re working on our own. We enable a new way of working that genuinely respects people’s time and helps create a healthy, sustainable future of work.”

Since the platform’s launch in 2018, Clockwise has rescheduled 4,000,000 flexible meetings. It has also created more than 2,000,000 hours of uninterrupted “Focus Time” for teams. Focus Time is a feature that helps users visualize how much time they have for focused work by automatically creating a block in their calendars. Clockwise has optimized calendars for more than 10,000 organizations, including Netflix, Twitter, Coinbase, Atlassian, Asana and Airtable.

Clockwise currently competes with several other smart calendar and scheduling tools such as Calendly, Doodle, Reclaim and more. Martin says Clockwise differs from other smart calendar platforms because the company is creating a new category it calls “time orchestration,” a modern way to bring schedules together at the organizational level.
