How this service works

Example use cases

“What's the cron expression for a job that runs every night at midnight UTC?”
Recurring cleanup task every 15 minutes
“I need to schedule a cleanup script to run every 15 minutes — what cron expression should I use?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.24klabs.ai/api/v1/cron-from-textWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically convert human-readable schedule descriptions into cron syntax without manually constructing the expression. Ideal for automation pipelines, developer tools, or AI agents that receive schedule instructions from users in natural language and need to configure cron jobs. Prefer it over manual cron construction or general LLM prompting when you want a consistent, dedicated conversion with predictable output format.
Side effects
- Ambiguous or unrecognizable schedule text returns an error or unexpected cron output
- Schedules with relative references (e.g. 'every other week starting next Tuesday') may not parse correctly
- Very complex or rare recurrence patterns may not be supported
- Non-English input may fail or produce incorrect results
