"""Example of how to cache the team session in memory for faster access."""

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.postgres import PostgresDb
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.team import Team

# Setup the database
db_url = "postgresql+psycopg://ai:ai@localhost:5532/ai"
db = PostgresDb(db_url=db_url, session_table="sessions")

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
