### Answer To get the current date dynamically in Retell AI, use the system variable

{{current_time}}

[(1) ]() . This variable provides the current time in

America/Los_Angeles

timezone by default . Format:

{{current_time}}

Example output: "Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 11:46:04 PM PST" For specific timezones: You can specify a timezone using the format

{{current_time_[timezone]}}

. For example:

{{current_time_Australia/Sydney}}

Usage in prompts: You can reference this in your agent's prompt like:

Current time is {{current_time}}

Important note: The

{{current_time}}

variable defaults to PST (America/Los_Angeles timezone) [(1) ]() [(2) ]() . If you need a different timezone, use the

{{current_time_[timezone]}}

format with your specific timezone [(1) ]() . Alternative for more control: If you need more precise timezone handling, you can create a custom dynamic variable by returning the current time from a Code Node or webhook, which allows you to handle timezone conversions in your own code [(2) ]() .
