Which date formats are recognized?

ISO dates (2026-06-05), slash and dot formats, written months (June 5, 2026), relative phrases (today, tomorrow, in 3 days, 2 weeks ago), weekday names, and standalone clock times. Each is normalized to ISO 8601 where enough information exists.

How are ambiguous dates handled?

Numeric formats like 03/04/2026 are genuinely ambiguous between month-day and day-month order. The tool flags them and shows both interpretations rather than guessing, so you can pick the correct one based on context.

Why set a reference date?

Relative expressions only have meaning relative to "now." Setting the reference date lets the tool resolve "tomorrow" or "two days ago" to a concrete ISO date instead of leaving it relative. It defaults to today but you can set it to when the LLM output was generated.

Does this run locally?

Yes, entirely in your browser with no network calls. You can paste sensitive content safely. The parsing is heuristic, so always verify flagged or unusual matches before using them programmatically.

Date & Time Extractor from LLM Output

Pull every date out of an LLM answer and normalize it

Language models love to express dates in whatever style the surrounding prose suggests — “next Tuesday,” “06/04/2026,” “in a couple of weeks.” When you need those dates in a database or a calendar, you have to find them and convert them to a single canonical form. This tool scans LLM output, extracts every date and time expression, and normalizes each to ISO 8601.

How it works

The parser matches several families of expressions: absolute numeric dates, written-month dates, relative phrases (“today,” “in 3 days,” “two weeks ago”), weekday names, and clock times. Relative phrases are resolved against the reference date you set. Genuinely ambiguous numeric formats — where day and month could be swapped — are not guessed; instead the tool flags them and shows both possible interpretations, so you stay in control.

Tips and caveats

Set the reference date to when the output was produced, not always today, or “tomorrow” will resolve incorrectly for older text.
Trust the flags. A flagged 03/04/2026 means the tool genuinely cannot tell month-first from day-first — decide from context.
Verify before automating. Heuristic extraction is excellent for triage but should be checked before feeding results into a scheduling system.
Pair it with the number extractor to fact-check both the figures and the dates an LLM cites in the same answer.
