Sound the alarm, it’s an exciting day here at Clockwise!
Today Fast Company awarded Clockwise with a spot on its list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.
We’re ecstatic to say the least (and it’s the second award recognition we’ve received from Fast Company in the last six months). We made our debut in the workplace category, which honors organizations working to create value and revenue for employers, but also to make work better or easier for employees. And we’re in great company, too, standing alongside Notion, Zoom, Loom, and Shopify.
Fast Company's editors and writers identified the companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is both a comprehensive look at the innovation economy and a snapshot of the business trends that defined the year,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “We saw extraordinary innovation across the board in 2023, but we also saw a handful of clear patterns: the growing footprint and impact of AI, the triumphant return of live events, and great leaps forward in climate tech. We face daunting challenges on many fronts, but the solutions we celebrate in MIC give me plenty of hope about the future.”
Fast Company recognized Clockwise for how we’re leveraging AI as a means to ease the pain of workplace scheduling and help people make time for the things that matter most in their day. Our entry focused exclusively on our now-in-early-access chat-based scheduling experience that lets people manage their calendars by expressing availability and preferences conversationally.
The first ever conversational calendar is coming soon
By leveraging the power of AI and Large Language Models, we’re hard at work to equip everyone with a personal calendar assistant. Why? Because scheduling meetings and managing your day should be easy. No more calendar Tetris or laborious back-and-forth emails. And when technology removes the mental gymnastics of calendaring, we can prioritize other things: human interaction, collaboration, and innovation.
Shout out to our customers
Earning this recognition is such an amazing moment for us, but the real truth is that we couldn’t have accomplished any of this without each and every one of our users. So to our community of 40,000+ organizations, thank you for being our champions, sharing your stories, and putting your trust in Clockwise to build a very exciting future of calendaring!
