Show HN: TimeZone GPT – Foolproof timezone conversion
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- punkpeye 2y agoOver the years, I've missed many meetings due to timezone miscommunications. To solve this, I've created TimeZone GPT, a foolproof tool that accurately converts and resolves times from any input. I know that Google provides similar functionality, but I always mess it up somehow... TimeZone GPT uses OpenAI's gpt-4o model to understand the inputs, and then TimeAPI to resolve the current timezone information and make the conversion. I gamified it a bit, so that I record what are the other people inputs, their timezones (as resolved by their IP), and the model outputs. This will allow me to capture edge cases that I've not considered. I don't expect many other folks to be using it, but I wanted something that would at least solve my problem.

- punkpeye 2y agoJust when I thought I covered every edge case! Let me see if I can add it as an Easter egg
