Does the AI Agent Interpret Relative Dates Like 'Tomorrow' Correctly?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I’m connecting an AI Agent with Google Calendar to automatically set up events via message triggers. I use {{$now}} to fetch today’s date, but can the AI correctly interpret relative date expressions like "tomorrow"?
For instance, if today is Jan 22, will the agent understand that "tomorrow" refers to Jan 23?
Example:
TEXT"Please help me set up a meeting tomorrow at 16:00 with Mr. Alex for 1 hour"

Yes, the AI agent can interpret relative date expressions like "tomorrow." When configured correctly, it will use the current date (from something like {{$now}}) as a reference point. For example, if today is January 22, the agent will interpret "tomorrow" as January 23 and set up the event on that date.
A few things to note:
- Natural Language Parsing: Ensure your AI agent or natural language parser is properly set up to handle relative date expressions.
- Event Timing: For timed events, the agent should convert the relative date combined with the specified time (e.g., "16:00") into the proper dateTime format required by Google Calendar's API.
- Timezones: When working with timed events (using
start.dateTimeandend.dateTimefields), double-check your timezone configurations so that the interpreted date and time match your expectations.
This way, when a message like:
TEXT"Please help me set up a meeting tomorrow at 16:00 with Mr. Alex for 1 hour"
is processed, the AI agent will correctly determine the meeting's date as January 23 (if today is January 22), and then create the event accordingly.
