There might not even need to be a UI. When a post is baked, NLP could process, come back to the client and confirm with a simple modal:

```plaintext
1 date was found. Would you like to convert to dynamic timestamps?
- tuesday at 2pm --> [discourse date]

```

Or, it could be simpler. Click the calendar icon, and instead of a date chooser, it’s a simple text box.

And similar to our invites modal, there could be a button for advanced controls which shows our existing date/time/timezone picker for more granular options.
