Async SQLite for Workflow

Agno supports using SQLite asynchronously as a storage backend for Workflows, with the AsyncSqliteDb class.

Usage

Install the sqlalchemy, aiosqlite, openai, and ddgs packages:

uv pip install sqlalchemy aiosqlite openai ddgs

from agno.team import Team
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools
from agno.tools.websearch import WebSearchTools
from agno.workflow.step import Step
from agno.workflow.workflow import Workflow
