How to pass the current date to AI Assistant?

[Sergio G]

Hi,

I need the AI assistant to know which day it is when the user sents the whatsapp message.

Why? because I need to infer when the user ask for availability on "next weekend" to be able to translate to, for example: friday 12 sep 2025 to sunday 14 sep 2025

And it's specially needed when using gpt-4o-mini.

So i the AI can reply to the user's message with knowing it's timestamp could be cool.

Right now I'm trying to figure out using pabbly connect to act as an intermediary somehow.

But I think there could be a better approach.

Hello @Sergio G,

To achieve your use case, you can focus on training your assistant effectively and continuously updating the knowledge base with the available slots. Make sure the assistant is trained to recognize the different ways users may ask about availability (for example, “next weekend,” “this Friday,” “in two weeks,” etc.). If this is done properly, the assistant will be able to interpret the user’s intent and provide the correct availability information. There isn’t a need for any specific method to capture the exact timestamp of the user’s message.
