What You Need to Know
Application extracts scheduling content from a generic statement. Statements without repetitions or logical compositions are considered ‘simple’. If time is not defined in a statement implied value is used (when time is specified without pm or am, pm is assumed).
Please, note that starting point of any schedule is in future.
