This example demonstrates how to use persistent memory with a team. After each run, user memories are created and updated, allowing the team to remember information about users across sessions and provide personalized experiences.

This example shows you how to use persistent memory with an Agent.

After each run, user memories are created/updated.

To enable this, set `enable_user_memories=True` in the Agent config.
