Intro and Architecture Diagram

Autogen is a framework designed to build autonomous Agents that can collaborate to solve tasks. It provides a robust Runtime layer to manage agent lifecycles and route Messages, allowing agents to communicate within Teams using various orchestration patterns. Agents leverage Model Clients to access LLM intelligence and Tools to perform actions, while Termination Conditions define when a conversation workflow is complete.
