Team with Agentic Memory

This example demonstrates how to use agentic memory with a team. Unlike simple memory storage, agentic memory allows the AI to actively create, update, and delete user memories during each run based on the conversation context, providing intelligent memory management.

Code

1"""
2This example shows you how to use persistent memory with an Agent.
3
4During each run the Agent can create/update/delete user memories.
5
6To enable this, set `enable_agentic_memory=True` in the Agent config.
