Basic Team

A team of AI agents working together to research topics.

A basic team with two specialized agents:

HackerNews Researcher - Gets trending stories from HackerNews
Finance Agent - Gets stock prices and financial data

The team leader coordinates by delegating to the appropriate agent based on the user's request.
