Why AbsTime works where LLMs fail
LLMs guess time. AbsTime computes it.
Deterministic Engine
Stable, predictable results - not probabilistic guesses.
Context-Aware
Resolves time expressions within the correct context.
Temporal Knowledge
Business days, public holidays, timezones, DST, regional calendars and more.Business days, public holidays, timezones, DST, regional calendars…
Guardrails
Prevents silent failures from ambiguous inputs.
Get time right without a refactor
A small change in your stack, a big improvement in user trust.
Input
" Schedule a meeting with Lily 10 hours later "
Time context
2026-03-07 22:00:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
LLM orchestration
Intent recognition
schedule_meeting()
Time extraction
10 hours later
LLM Time Resolver

DST starts in this interval, so only 9 hours pass.

What to know before integration
Quick answers for common integration and usage questions.
Scope
What to expect from AbsTime.
Pricing and usage
How pricing, access, and scale work.
Feedback and support
How to report issues and get help.
Does AbsTime accept full sentences?
No. AbsTime is designed to minimize unnecessary data exposure and protect user privacy. It expects clean time expressions so sensitive context stays out of the request.
How do I prepare the clean time expression?
Use a general-purpose LLM (for example, GPT, Claude, or Gemini) with an extraction prompt to produce a clean English time expression before sending it to AbsTime.
Can I use AbsTime with non-English user input?
Yes. Prompt the LLM in the time expression extraction step. The model should return the expression in English instead of the original language.
Does AbsTime resolve time ranges?
No. AbsTime is built for atomic point-in-time resolution. If you need a range, split it into two point-in-time expressions and resolve them separately with AbsTime.
How do I get the free tier?
Create an account and you will be automatically enrolled in the free tier.
What is the quota for the free tier?
The free tier includes 10,000 requests per day.
