# Teams with Knowledge

> Attach a knowledge base the team coordinator can search.

Pass `knowledge` to a team to register its `search_knowledge_base` tool.

```python theme={null}
from pathlib import Path

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.knowledge.embedder.openai import OpenAIEmbedder
from agno.knowledge.knowledge import Knowledge
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.team import Team
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
from agno.vectordb.lancedb import LanceDb

cwd = Path(__file__).parent
tmp_dir = cwd.joinpath("tmp")
tmp_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

agno_docs_knowledge = Knowledge(
    vector_db=LanceDb(
        uri=str(tmp_dir.joinpath("lancedb")),
        table_name="agno_docs",
        embedder=OpenAIEmbedder(id="text-embedding-3-small"),
    ),
)

hackernews_agent = Agent(
    name="HackerNews Agent",
    role="Search HackerNews for tech news",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
    instructions=["Always include sources"],
)

team_with_knowledge = Team(
    name="Team with Knowledge",
    members=[hackernews_agent],
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    knowledge=agno_docs_knowledge,
    show_members_responses=True,
    markdown=True,
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agno_docs_knowledge.insert(url="https://docs.agno.com/llms-full.txt")
    team_with_knowledge.print_response("Tell me about the Agno framework", stream=True)
```

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install -U agno lancedb openai
```

The team coordinator can search the attached knowledge base and delegate other work to members. `Team.search_knowledge` defaults to `True`.

When multiple `Knowledge` instances share one vector database, set `isolate_vector_search=True` (and give each instance a `name`) to keep retrieval scoped to each instance's own content.
