Issues with dates and events

By default, Wallu may be confused about dates of events like whether a specific date is in the past or future. This is because Wallu does not have a concept of time (this is due to LLM models having a "cut-off" date and now knowing the date or events after that).

However, you can tell Wallu the current date in the global instructions by adding the {current_date} placeholder. This will always be replaced with the current date. For example:

Additionally, if you still have issues with dates you can explicitly tell the bot to consider that. For example:

- Current date: {current_date}. Do not recommend joining events before this date.
