```python theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.serper import SerperTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

agent = Agent(
    tools=[SerperTools()],
)

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.print_response(
        "Search for the latest news about artificial intelligence developments",
        markdown=True,
    )

    # Example 2: Google Scholar Search
    # agent.print_response(
    #     "Find 2 recent academic papers about large language model safety and alignment",
    #     markdown=True,
    # )

    # Example 3: Web Scraping
    # agent.print_response(
