}Prompt Examples
When prompting your agent we recommend providing the current date (or a tool to get it) unless the agent already has
access to such information, this is because some models like Claude will otherwise think the current date is their knowledge
cutoff and they will retrieve outdated information frequently.
- Give me the top headlines in the United States today.
- What is happening in Ireland today?
- Give me top stories this past week in North American countries.
