# Teams

> Build autonomous multi-agent systems with Agno Teams.

A Team is a collection of Agents (or other sub-teams) that work together to accomplish tasks.

A `Team` has a list of `members` that can be instances of either `Agent` or `Team`.

```python theme={null}
from agno.team import Team
from agno.agent import Agent

team = Team(members=[
    Agent(name="Agent 1", role="You answer questions in English"),
    Agent(name="Agent 2", role="You answer questions in Chinese"),
    Team(name="Team 1", members=[Agent(name="Agent 3", role="You answer questions in French")], role="You coordinate the team members to answer questions in French"),
])
```

<Note>
  It is highly recommended to first learn more about [Agents](/concepts/agents/overview) before diving into Teams.
</Note>

The team leader delegates tasks to members depending on the role of the members and the nature of the tasks.  See the [Delegation](/concepts/teams/delegation) guide for more details.

As with agents, teams support the following features:

* **Model:** Set the model that is used by the "team leader" to delegate tasks to the team members.
* **Instructions:** Instruct the team leader on how to solve problems. The names, descriptions and roles of team members are automatically provided to the team leader.
* **Tools:** If the team leader needs to be able to use tools directly, you can add tools to the team.
* **Reasoning:** Enables the team leader to "think" before responding or delegating tasks to team members, and "analyze" the results of team members' responses.
* **Knowledge:** If the team needs to search for information, you can add a knowledge base to the team. This is accessible to the team leader.
* **Storage:** The Team's session history and state is stored in a database. This enables your team to continue conversations from where they left off, enabling multi-turn, long-term conversations.
* **Memory:** Gives Teams the ability to store and recall information from previous interactions, allowing them to learn user preferences and personalize their responses.

<Note>
  If you are migrating from Agno v1.x.x, the `mode` parameter has been deprecated. Please see the [Migration Guide](/how-to/v2-migration#teams) for more details on how to migrate your teams.
