The agent knows today's date
7 November 2026
The agent no longer assumes it is still in the year it learned from. Asked for today’s news, it used to search for the wrong year and give a date from the search results as today’s. Now it checks the date first:
- Before an answer that depends on the date or the time, such as today, last week, this year or a date you ask for, the agent asks for the current date and time. It shows as a step of the answer.
- The date and time are in your time zone: the Web App sends your browser’s time zone with every message. If your browser doesn’t tell it, the agent uses UTC and says so.
