Providing Location

Add location context to agent instructions so the agent can give location-specific responses and search for local information.

Code

location_instructions.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    add_location_to_context=True,
    tools=[HackerNewsTools(cache_results=True)],
)
agent.print_response("What city am I in?", stream=True)
agent.print_response("Search for tech news relevant to my location", stream=True)
