The problem it solves

People don't talk in calendar format. When someone says end of Q3 or two weeks after launch, you're stuck doing the date math yourself before you can actually put anything on the calendar. That back-and-forth slows down scheduling and invites mistakes.

Who it fits

Teams handling scheduling requests from forms, chat, or email who want dates entered in plain English to convert correctly the first time.

How it works

  1. A natural-language date phrase comes in from a form, chat, or email
  2. AI reads the phrase and works out what it actually means
  3. The system checks it against business rules like working hours, holidays, and time zones
  4. It returns a precise, structured date and time, along with a confidence score
What you get

Dates converted without a second guess

You get plain-English date phrases turned into precise, scheduling-ready dates that match your business hours and time zone.

What you get

A precise, structured date and time, ready to drop into a calendar or CRM.

What you need

An OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
