You can bind the change eventListener as usual on your input element, and then access its datalist.
Once there, you can filter it with find to extract the selected option (if any), and finally get the text tusing textContent.
document.getElementById('int').addEventListener('change', function() {
let selectedOpt = Array.from(this.list.options).find(item => item.value == this.value);
if (typeof selectedOpt == 'undefined') {
document.getElementById('results').innerHTML = '';
} else {
document.getElementById('results').innerHTML = selectedOpt.textContent;
}
});<datalist id="in">
<option value="1">Kuruha</option>
<option value="2">Agencia</option>
</datalist>
<input list="in" id="int">
<div id="results"></div>
