This example demonstrates how to capture and work with agent responses as variables, enabling programmatic access to response data and metadata.

​
Code

cookbook/agents/input_and_output/response_as_variable.py
from typing import Iterator  # noqa
from rich.pretty import pprint
from agno.agent import Agent, RunOutput
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools


agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
    tools=[
        DuckDuckGoTools(
            stock_price=True,
            analyst_recommendations=True,
            company_info=True,
            company_news=True,
        )
    ],
    instructions=["Use tables where possible"],
    markdown=True,
)

run_response: RunOutput = agent.run("What is the stock price of NVDA")
pprint(run_response)

# run_response_strem: Iterator[RunOutputEvent] = agent.run("What is the stock price of NVDA", stream=True)
# for response in run_response_strem:
#     pprint(response)
