Recognize Date and Time in Sentence

When typing a new task/action, it would be great if Actions can recognize say “Do this @8pm tomorrow” And automatically assign the date and time for me. Of course, a lot more can be done going along this route, say if you do “Do that with Tim @12pm on 8 of Jul in Office” etc. Thanks.

This is maybe the biggest gap in my willingness to use this app. It's there, but so unreliable. EG "5pm" works, but "5" (as in "Do something at 5") doesn't, "17:00" doesn't work (where I live, no one uses am/pm, it's always 24 hour), "tomorrow" works but "tom" doesn't (look, I am looking for efficiency)

So often if I type something, it just fails to recognises the times I enter, and the resulting actions are in a messy state.

Hey, Actions already supports NLP, e.g. "Walk the dog tomorrow at 8pm" is created for tomorrow at 8pm. Please let me know if this isn't working!

Totally agree! It’s a big lack of this app.
