This quickstart demonstrates how to create a simple multi-agent swarm with two agents (Researcher, Writer) using `AgentNode` and orchestrate their interaction using `SwarmGraph`. It initializes an `AgentSwarm` and invokes it with a task, showing how to set up a basic workflow. Ensure your `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set in your environment for this example to run.
