Example showing how to use Valkey as the database for an agent.
Run `uv pip install valkey-glide-sync openai ddgs` to install dependencies.
We can start Valkey locally using docker:
1. Start Valkey container
`docker run --name my-valkey -p 6379:6379 -d valkey/valkey-bundle`
2. Verify container is running
`docker ps`
3. Run the file
`python cookbook/06_storage/valkey/valkey_for_agent.py`
