docs: improve AutoPilot vs Builder comparison

Browse Source 
Fix framing that positioned AutoPilot as limited to quick/one-off tasks.
Add "Who is it for" row clarifying AutoPilot is for everyone while the
Builder targets technical users comfortable with visual programming.

## AutoPilot vs. the Agent Builder
AutoPilot and the Agent Builder are two ways to achieve the same things on the platform. AutoPilot can do anything the builder can — including creating and editing full, reusable agents — and it can also run blocks directly without building an agent first.
| | AutoPilot | Agent Builder |
|---|-----------|---------------|
| **Best for** | Quick tasks, exploration, one-off actions | Reusable workflows, complex multi-step agents |
| **How it works** | Conversational — describe what you want | Visual — drag, drop, and connect blocks |
| **Reusability** | Actions are one-off unless you ask it to build an agent | Agents are saved and can be re-run, scheduled, or shared |
| **Block access** | Can run any block directly without an agent | Blocks must be connected into a workflow |
| **Who is it for** | Everyone — no technical knowledge required | Technical users with a grasp of visual programming |
| **Best for** | Natural language interaction, doing things fast, and accessing blocks directly | Hands-on visual control over exactly how an agent is wired together |
| **How it works** | Conversational — describe what you want | Visual — drag, drop, and connect blocks on a canvas |
| **Can build agents** | Yes — describe what you want and it builds the agent for you | Yes — you build the agent manually |
| **Can edit agents** | Yes — including agents from the marketplace | Yes — full visual editing |
| **Block access** | Can run any block directly without building an agent | Blocks must be connected into an agent workflow |
Both are powerful tools. Use AutoPilot for quick tasks and exploration, and the Agent Builder when you want to create reusable, automated workflows.
Choose whichever approach suits you. Many users use both — AutoPilot for speed, and the builder when they want fine-grained visual control over their workflow.
