# Share Memory between Agents

> Share user memories between agents through a common memory table and user ID.

Agents that use the same database and memory table can read memories stored for the same `user_id`.

## Code

```python agents_share_memory.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
from rich.pretty import pprint

db = SqliteDb(db_file="agents.db")

john_doe_id = "john_doe@example.com"

chat_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    description="You are a helpful assistant that can chat with users",
    db=db,
    update_memory_on_run=True,
)

chat_agent.print_response(
    "My name is John Doe and I like to hike in the mountains on weekends.",
    stream=True,
    user_id=john_doe_id,
)

chat_agent.print_response("What are my hobbies?", stream=True, user_id=john_doe_id)

research_agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    description="You are a research assistant that can help users with their research questions",
    tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
    db=db,
    update_memory_on_run=True,
)

research_agent.print_response(
    "I love reading about AI. What are the top stories on Hacker News about AI?",
    stream=True,
    user_id=john_doe_id,
)

memories = research_agent.get_user_memories(user_id=john_doe_id)
print("Memories about John Doe:")
pprint(memories)
```
