## Timezone Settings
For timezone configuration, you can:
1. Set timezone in the system prompt using the following format:
{{ "now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/New_York" }}
Replace "America/New_York" with your desired timezone [as referenced in Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1325196797102260304).
2. Include current date and time at the beginning of your prompt:
The current date is {{"now" | date: "%A, %B %d, %Y", "America/New_York"}} and the time is {{"now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "America/New_York"}}
