Hi there! 👋 I understand you're having an issue with your assistant providing the wrong date and time. While I don't know exactly what incorrect output you received, I can definitely help you ensure your assistant always provides the correct date and time. Here's how you can make sure your assistant always provides the current date and time correctly: ### 1. Use Dynamic Variables in Your System Prompt The most effective way to ensure your assistant provides the correct date and time is to include it directly in your system prompt using dynamic variables. According to the [Vapi documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/dynamic-variables), you can use:

The current date is {{ "now" | date: "%A, %B %d, %Y", "YOUR_TIMEZONE" }} 
and the time is {{ "now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "YOUR_TIMEZONE" }}

Replace

YOUR_TIMEZONE

with your actual timezone (e.g., "America/New_York", "Australia/Melbourne"). ### 2. Use Separate Variables for Date, Time, and Day For better accuracy, use separate variables for date, time, and day of the week. According to [user discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1341751641547870281), this helps the assistant correctly determine all components:

Current date: {{ "now" | date: "%B %d, %Y", "YOUR_TIMEZONE" }}
Current time: {{ "now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "YOUR_TIMEZONE" }}
Current day: {{ "now" | date: "%A", "YOUR_TIMEZONE" }}

### 3. Ensure Proper Timezone Configuration Make sure you're explicitly specifying the correct timezone in your formatting. According to [troubleshooting information](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342347443114872863), timezone handling needs to be explicit in the system prompt context. ### 4. Consider Model Selection

Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!
