Persist agent state to resume sessions and maintain context across runs.
from praisonaiagents import Agent, Session

session = Session(session_id="my-session", persistence="sqlite")
agent = Agent(name="Assistant", session=session)

agent.start("Pick up where we left off.")
The user runs the agent again; stored memory and checkpoints avoid repeating earlier steps.

What Gets Persisted

  • Memory: Conversation history and context
  • Session State: Current task progress
  • Checkpoints: Intermediate results
  • Configuration: Agent settings

Quick Start

1

Simple Usage

from praisonaiagents import Agent, Session

# Create session with persistence
session = Session(
    session_id="my-session",
    persistence="sqlite"
)

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    session=session
)

# Run agent
agent.start("Hello!")

# Later, resume the same session
session = Session(session_id="my-session", persistence="sqlite")
agent = Agent(name="Assistant", session=session)
agent.start("What did we talk about?")  # Remembers previous context

With Configuration

from praisonaiagents import Agent, Session

session = Session(session_id="prod-session", persistence="postgresql")
agent = Agent(name="Assistant", session=session, llm="gpt-4o-mini")
agent.start("Continue from where we left off.")

CLI Session Resume

praisonai session resume <id> is a first-class restore — it brings back chat history, model, and agent name. Use a follow-up prompt to continue immediately:
praisonai session resume my-session "What did we discuss?"
See Session Command for the full reference including --transcript and cross-store lookup behaviour.
