Change State on Run

This example demonstrates how to set and manage session state for different users and sessions. It shows how session state can be passed during runs and persists across multiple interactions within the same session.

1. Create a Python file

   change_state_on_run.py

       from agno.db.in_memory import InMemoryDb
       from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
       from agno.team import Team
   
       team = Team(
           db=InMemoryDb(),
           model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
           members=[],
           instructions="Users name is {user_name} and age is {age}",
       )
   
       # Sets the session state for the session with the id "user_1_session_1"
       team.print_response(
           "What is my name?",
           session_id="user_1_session_1",
           user_id="user_1",
           session_state={"user_name": "John", "age": 30},
       )
   
       # Will load the session state from the session with the id "user_1_session_1"
       team.print_response("How old am I?", session_id="user_1_session_1", user_id="user_1")
   
       # Sets the session state for the session with the id "user_2_session_1"
       team.print_response(
           "What is my name?",
           session_id="user_2_session_1",
           user_id="user_2",
           session_state={"user_name": "Jane", "age": 25},
       )
   
       # Will load the session state from the session with the id "user_2_session_1"
   team.print_response("How old am I?", session_id="user_2_session_1", user_id="user_2")
   
2. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   
3. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U agno openai
   
4. Export your OpenAI API key

   Set OpenAI Key

   Set your OPENAI_API_KEY as an environment variable. You can get one from OpenAI.

   Mac

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-***
   
5. Run Team

   python change_state_on_run.py
