    # Example: CrewAI multi-agent setup
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

# Define agents
researcher = Agent(
    role='Researcher',
    goal='Gather comprehensive information',
    tools=[search_tool, scrape_tool]
)

writer = Agent(
    role='Writer',
    goal='Create engaging content',
    tools=[writing_tool]
