This example demonstrates how to inject dependencies into agent runs, allowing the agent to access dynamic context like user profiles and current time information for personalized responses.

Code

cookbook/agents/dependencies/add_dependencies_run.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat


def get_user_profile(user_id: str = "john_doe") -> dict:
    """Get user profile information that can be referenced in responses.

    Args:
        user_id: The user ID to get profile for
    Returns:
        Dictionary containing user profile information

    profiles = {
