1. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   
2. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U agno openai zep-cloud
   
3. Export your API keys

   Mac/Linux

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   export ZEP_API_KEY="your_zep_api_key_here"
   
4. Run the example

   Save the code above as zep_integration.py, then run:

   python zep_integration.py
