Salesforce is expanding its Agentforce team by hiring the developers of the calendar scheduling application Clockwise. However, the Clockwise app will not be part of this transition and will cease operations.
Clockwise CEO and cofounder Matt Martin announced the change via LinkedIn, stating, “We will be bringing our deep expertise building reliable, agentic software to the Agentic Enterprise.” He also confirmed that Clockwise services will be discontinued as of March 27.
In a clarification from Salesforce, a spokesperson emphasized that this move does not constitute an acquisition of Clockwise or its technology. “I want to clarify that this was not an acquisition,” the spokesperson stated. “Salesforce is not acquiring Clockwise or its technology. We look forward to welcoming members of the Clockwise team to Salesforce, where they will join the Agentforce team.”
The Clockwise team will integrate into a Salesforce division led by Gary Lerhaupt, who co-founded Clockwise alongside Martin. Notably, Martin had previously worked at Salesforce as a software engineer from 2014 to 2016 before launching Clockwise.
Lerhaupt, who left Clockwise last year, has since taken on the role of vice president of product architecture for Agentforce at Salesforce. He expressed enthusiasm for the new collaboration, stating, “In a twist maybe only Silicon Valley could write, this crew is joining Salesforce,” and highlighted their mission to enhance Agent Interoperability and Orchestration.
As for Clockwise users, the company is advising them to migrate to the competing scheduling tool Reclaim, which is offering price matching for former Clockwise customers. Clockwise has assured users that Salesforce will not have access to their data and is in the process of refunding customers who have prepaid for services beyond the March 27 cutoff.
Users can expect that features such as Smart Hold events, including Focus Time and Meeting Breaks, will be removed from their calendars, and the Clockwise branding will also disappear.
