+Example demonstrating Redis session memory functionality.

+This example shows how to use Redis-backed session memory to maintain conversation
+history across multiple agent runs with persistence and scalability.
+
+Note: This example clears the session at the start to ensure a clean demonstration.
+In production, you may want to preserve existing conversation history.
