# Run Team Save Example
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Save the team to the database
    version = content_team.save()
    print(f"Saved team as version {version}")

    # By default, saving a team will create a new version of the team

    # Delete the team from the database (soft delete by default)
    # content_team.delete()

    # Hard delete (permanently removes from database)
    # content_team.delete(hard_delete=True)

Run the Example

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno "psycopg[binary]" openai sqlalchemy

Export your OpenAI API key

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"

Run PgVector

docker run -d \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ai \
  -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql \
  -v pgvolume:/var/lib/postgresql \
  -p 5532:5432 \
  --name pgvector \
  agnohq/pgvector:18
