# AMAZON.Date Converts words that represent dates into a date format. The date is provided to your intent in ISO-8601 date format. The date that your intent receives in the slot can vary depending on the specific phrase uttered by the user. + Utterances that map to a specific date, such as "today," "now," or "November twenty-fifth," convert to a complete date: `2020-11-25`. This defaults to dates *on or after* the current date. + Utterances that map to a future week, such as "next week," convert to the date of the last day of the current week. In ISO-8601 format, the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. For example, if today is 2020-11-25, "next week" converts to `2020-11-29`.
