What it does

Resolves ambiguous date expressions into structured datetime records

People write dates in ways no database can read: "next Thursday," "end of Q2," "sometime in March." This tool reads those expressions and returns a structured record with an ISO timestamp, the inferred timezone, a confidence score, and a flag for genuinely ambiguous inputs. Downstream systems get a typed value instead of a string to figure out later.

When you’d reach for it

  • Parsing a preferred appointment time out of a customer intake form response.
  • Converting a verbal deadline reference inside a contract into a calendar entry.
  • Interpreting a free-text "follow up next week" note into a dated, assignable task.
