Frequently asked questions
What time references does it find?
Weekday names, common date patterns, and phrases like "midnight," "dawn," and "three o'clock."
Can it build a full timeline automatically?
It extracts references for manual review — it does not infer elapsed story time.
Why do AI drafts have timeline bugs?
Long-context models lose track of day names and elapsed time. Extraction makes review faster.
