At the moment it is possible to do it with the Builder using a request to date time api before each ai request to store the most recent date in variables (specifying a timezone in parameters of request). In instruction we specify that it corresponds to date or time: "{date} is current date", "{time} is current time". After that, the bot is able to answer to "What is date today?" and "What time is it?"

Yes, but lost the weekday. I Added {current_date} variable, then asked "what date is today?” Answer is “monday 23 september 2023”. Wrong because 23 september 2023 is tuesday, not monday; and we need correct weekday for customers.
