Hi there, in your it is {time} response, you are signaling that you want to fill the response with the value of the slot time. However you aren’t filling that slot before. A common way to handle this situation would be a custom action that sets the time slot:

stories:
- story: tell the time
  steps: 
    - intent: ask_time
    - action: give_time

Where your custom action would grab the time and tell it to the user (or it could set the slot and use that response to tell them)

I think what you are missing is that Duckling is a library to parse times from user inputs (like in your second example), not an API to grab the current time. For that you could use datetime.datetime.now() in your custom action.
