Team with Followup Suggestions

Generate followup prompt suggestions from a team’s completed response.

Set followups=True on a Team to generate followup prompt suggestions when the main response has content. Followup generation makes a second model call and works with all team modes.

1. Create a Python file

   team_followup_suggestions.py

   from agno.agent import Agent
   from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
   from agno.team import Team, TeamMode
   
   researcher = Agent(
       name="Researcher",
       role="Research topics thoroughly",
       model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4-mini"),
   )
   
   team = Team(
       name="Research Team",
       model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4-mini"),
       mode=TeamMode.coordinate,
       members=[researcher],
       followups=True,
       num_followups=3,
   )
   
   response = team.run("What are the latest advances in fusion energy?")
   
   print(response.content)
   print("\nFollowup suggestions:")
   for i, suggestion in enumerate(response.followups or [], 1):
       print(f"  {i}. {suggestion}")
   
2. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   uv venv --python 3.12
   .venv\Scripts\activate
   
3. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U agno openai
   
4. Export your OpenAI API key

   Mac/Linux

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   

   $Env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   
5. Run Team

   python team_followup_suggestions.py
   

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
followups	bool	False	Enable followup suggestion generation
num_followups	int	3	Number of suggestions to generate (minimum 1)
followup_model	Model | str	None	Model used for followups. When unset, the team’s model is used.

If the followup model call fails, the team response still completes and response.followups can be None.

Streaming

Followup suggestions are available via events when streaming.

team_followup_streaming.py

import asyncio

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.team import Team, TeamMode, TeamRunEvent

researcher = Agent(
    name="Researcher",
    role="Research topics thoroughly",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4-mini"),
)

team = Team(
    name="Research Team",
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.4-mini"),
    mode=TeamMode.coordinate,
    members=[researcher],
    followups=True,
    num_followups=3,
)


async def main():
    async for event in team.arun(
        "What are the latest advances in fusion energy?",
        stream=True,
        stream_events=True,
    ):
        if event.event == TeamRunEvent.run_content and event.content:
            print(event.content, end="", flush=True)

        if event.event == TeamRunEvent.followups_completed:
            print("\n\nFollowup suggestions:")
            for i, suggestion in enumerate(event.followups or [], 1):
                print(f"  {i}. {suggestion}")


asyncio.run(main())
