I have a feeling that "I know" in this sentence doesn't mean that one's aware of something. What exactly does it mean?

"I know" is used to express agreement with a previous statement. It basically means, "I agree." Ex: A: Now that we've moved to an apartment close to a park, I feel like we're going outside more. B: Yeah, I know! Ex: A: Wow, is it hot today! B: I know!
