Basic Team Coordination

This example demonstrates a coordinated team of AI agents working together to research topics across different platforms.

The team consists of three specialized agents:

1. HackerNews Researcher - Uses HackerNews API to find and analyze relevant HackerNews posts
2. Article Reader - Reads articles from URLs

The team leader coordinates the agents by:

• Giving each agent a specific task
• Providing clear instructions for each agent
• Collecting and summarizing the results from each agent
