How WhatsEngine Understands Time

​
🗣️ Natural Time Expressions

Key Point: You need to mention a time, but you can say it naturally like “morning”, “evening”, or “3pm”.

Natural Times

  • “tomorrow morning” → 9:00 AM
  • “this afternoon” → 2:00 PM
  • “tonight” → 8:00 PM
  • “Friday evening” → 6:00 PM
  • “noon” → 12:00 PM

Specific Times

  • “Friday 1530” → Friday at 3:30 PM
  • “tomorrow 0900” → Tomorrow at 9:00 AM
  • “3pm today” → Today at 3:00 PM
  • “next Monday 10am” → Next Monday at 10:00 AM

​
🤖 Smart Date Detection

WhatsEngine is smart about dates - you can say them naturally: 
You: "Appointment with dentist on Friday 1530"
Bot: ✅ Dentist appointment scheduled for Friday at 3:30 PM [Task #4]

You: "Team meeting Monday morning"
Bot: ✅ Team meeting scheduled for Monday at 9:00 AM [Task #5]

You: "Call client Wednesday afternoon"
Bot: ✅ Client call scheduled for Wednesday at 2:00 PM [Task #6]

​
⏰ Default Time Behavior

Smart Defaults: If you don’t specify a time, WhatsEngine assumes afternoon (2:00 PM). Always include a time reference for better control.
You: "Call mom tomorrow"
→ WhatsEngine defaults to: Tomorrow at 2:00 PM

You: "Meeting with client Friday"  
→ WhatsEngine defaults to: Friday at 2:00 PM

You: "Finish report next week"
→ WhatsEngine defaults to: Next Monday at 2:00 PM

You: "Call mom tomorrow evening"
→ Tomorrow at 6:00 PM (more specific)

You: "Meeting with client Friday morning"
→ Friday at 9:00 AM (clearer intention)

You: "Finish report next week afternoon"  
→ Next Monday at 2:00 PM (confirmed timing)

No! You can be natural. These all work:
  • ✅ “tomorrow morning”
  • ✅ “Friday afternoon”
  • ✅ “tonight”
  • ✅ “Friday 1530”
  • ✅ “3pm today”
Just include some time reference so WhatsEngine knows when you want it scheduled.
WhatsEngine will default to afternoon (2:00 PM) for that day. For example:
  • “Call mom tomorrow” → Tomorrow at 2:00 PM
  • “Meeting Friday” → Friday at 2:00 PM
Better: Include a time reference like “tomorrow evening” or “Friday morning”
When you add team members in the dashboard, they get simple slugs:
  • John Smith → john
  • Sarah Johnson → sarah
  • Hamza Ali → hamza
Then just use: “hamza should review this tomorrow”
