# Agentic State

Enable agentic session state so the agent updates session state on its own based on the conversation. Here the agent manages a shopping list as the user talks to it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Python file">
    ```python agentic_session_state.py theme={null}
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
    from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses

    db = SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/agents.db")
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
        db=db,
        session_state={"shopping_list": []},
        add_session_state_to_context=True,
        enable_agentic_state=True,
    )

    agent.print_response("Add milk, eggs, and bread to the shopping list", stream=True)

    agent.print_response("I picked up the eggs, now what's on my list?", stream=True)

    print(f"Session state: {agent.get_session_state()}")
    ```
