{{current_time}}

| Current time in

America/Los_Angeles

| "Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 11:46:04 PM PST" | |

{{current_time_[timezone]}}

| Current time in a specified timezone | e.g.,

{{current_time_Australia/Sydney}}

| , [(2) ]() How to use it: Add something like this to your agent's prompt:

Current time is {{current_time}}

[(1) ]() Or for a specific timezone:

Current time is {{current_time_America/New_York}}

, [(2) ]() Tip: If your agent is giving incorrect dates, make sure you're using the correct timezone variable and that you don't have conflicting test data variables set in your agent configuration. [(3) ]() , [(10) ]()
