if __name__ == "__main__":
    # agent.print_response("How many people live in Canada?")

    # Save the agent to the database
    version = agent.save()
    print(f"Saved agent as version {version}")

    # By default, saving a agent will create a new version of the agent

    # Delete the agent from the database (soft delete by default)
