Hi I am trying to utilize the {{now}} dynamic variable in my prompt to give me the exact time, however it only uses UTC time zone. I am trying to use PST (pacific time zone) and have tried this dynamic variable: {{"now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/Los_Angeles"}} however it does not work correctly when I test it. I have figured out that the prompt is having a hard time converting UTC to PST because any time I give it is +7 hours from actual PST time. Please let me know how to get the exact accurate date and time when prompting the voice agent.

Try using separate variables for date, time, and day in your prompt to improve accuracy:

Today is {{\"now\" | date: \"%A\", \"America/Los_Angeles\"}} 
The current date is {{\"now\" | date: \"%B %d, %Y\", \"America/Los_Angeles\"}}
The current time is {{\"now\" | date: \"%I:%M %p\", \"America/Los_Angeles\"}}

This approach has helped other users resolve timezone issues, particularly when switching to the gpt-4o model.

I am now getting an issue where the ai is saying this, after I implemented what you sent in my prompt https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1369482051585314906/1369486960590196838/Screenshot_2025-05-06_at_6.31.52_PM.png?ex=681c099f&is=681ab81f&hm=785c11be1cd7bf9aba1719f6c59827d3f0f88509178a0098b0d4ee7b7ee00c9a&

Same here but it does not work for me with Anthropic

Use {{ "now" | date: "%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p", "America/Los_Angeles" }}, this should handle daylight saving time automatically, if you’re still getting a +7 offset, ensure no caching or misconfigured timezone is affecting the result..
