Building a staff schedule manually takes hours. Getting it right, covering every shift while respecting labor rules, certifications, and individual contracts, often takes much longer. Daywatch does it in one click. Describe your rules in plain language. Workers share their preferences the same way. The AI reads everything and generates a fully optimized schedule adapted to your team's exact needs, automatically. Built for any team that runs on shifts.

Could you build this?
Partial While LLMs can translate natural language into rules, multi-worker shift scheduling subject to strict labor laws and coverage constraints is an NP-hard optimization problem that LLMs cannot reliably solve alone.
What it would actually take: The system requires an LLM to parse natural language preferences into structured mathematical constraints, which are then passed to a dedicated Operations Research solver (such as Google OR-Tools, CP-SAT, or Z3). A software engineer must design a robust pipeline that formulates linear/constraint programming models, handles infeasibility gracefully, and manages calendar integrations.
