Salesforce Buys Clockwise, Shuts Down AI Scheduler

Clockwise, the AI‑driven scheduling startup, has been bought by Salesforce and will shut down its standalone service on March 27, 2026. The company says the move lets it bring its calendar‑optimization tech into the larger Agentic Enterprise. Its founders built the tool to help teams make time for what matters.

Since its launch, Clockwise has claimed to create 8 million hours of Focus Time and move 23 million meetings to better slots. Its client list reads like a who’s‑who of tech, including Uber, Netflix and Atlassian. The company credits its decade‑long focus on shared time as the core of its AI scheduling engine.

The acquisition signals Salesforce’s push to embed agentic AI across its cloud stack. By integrating Clockwise’s scheduling logic, the platform can offer smarter calendar workflows to enterprise customers. This integration also opens new revenue streams for Salesforce’s Einstein AI suite.

Clockwise will cease operations on March 27, 2026, and its product will no longer be available. The founders thanked customers for their trust and time, noting that the decision reflects a commitment to delivering value at scale. Users will need to transition to alternative scheduling solutions before the shutdown.
