Hi @Prajwal , thanks for reaching out.
Can you please confirm if you have done pip install google-genai in your project?
Also to downgrade agno version , you can run the following command pip install agno==1.8.0.
Thanks

yes i also tried to downgrade much older version but im getting this same issue. im using this for now a year i tested my older code then new code and my current development code all are getting this issue, if i get this error in development i thought i did something wrong but i wasnt able to debug then i tested my working code now that also give this error. im completely lost

i tried agno version 1.8.1 / 1.8.0 / 1.7.12 / 1.7.11 still i get that same error and when i ask llm modals about the issue it says :-

Looking at your error logs, the issue is that while google-genai is listed in your requirements.txt, there’s a compatibility problem with the agno package trying to import from it.

The error shows that agno is trying to import UrlContext from google.genai.types, but this import is failing. This suggests a version mismatch between agno and google-genai.

so i will try old version of google genai can you list the older version of google genai
