Thanks for tagging me @japhetgan. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Based on the available API documentation, I can see that Retell AI supports dynamic variables at the API level, but I don't have specific information about a "Current Time Awareness" feature being configurable through the API endpoints. What I can confirm from the documentation: Dynamic Variables Support: - You can set
default_dynamic_variables
when updating a Retell LLM [(1) ]() - You can use
override_dynamic_variables
when updating a chat [(2) ]() - There is a system variable
{{current_time}}
mentioned in community discussions [(3) ]() Important Note About {{current_time}}: According to community feedback,
{{current_time}}
defaults to PST timezone . One user resolved timezone issues by "returning the time in a custom variable when the call initiates, this way the agent can work in UTC and my code can handle the timezone as needed" . For the specific "Current Time Awareness" feature you're asking about, I don't have documentation showing how to configure this at the API level. I recommend: Check out these potentially useful sources: [Update Retell LLM]() , [Update Chat]() Would you like me to provide a general answer based on my knowledge instead?
​ To learn more, see the sources I considered: [[1] Update Retell LLM](https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/update-retell-llm) [[2] Update Chat](https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/update-chat) [[3] Discord message from @nocodecreative.io on 2024-12-15](https://discord.com/channels/1186424376300679209/1186462578310910112/1317840635717222432) ​
