improvement(compare): sharper bottom-line reasoning, minor emphasis fixes
Reworded a few competitor headline claims to reflect genuine product
positioning rather than a narrow feature, and gave a couple of Sim's
own already-documented capabilities (model reach, integration count,
live collaboration) more prominent placement.

There is no visual canvas in the open-source core; a team that wants full programmatic control over multi-agent orchestration logic, with no drag-and-drop layer at all, gets that directly.',

Agents deploy natively into a shared, multiplayer workspace and out to Slack, Teams, and other chat surfaces. A team that wants business users assembling agents from plain-language instructions and templates, with no drag-and-drop layer to learn, gets that directly. Teams that do want infrastructure-as-code can also define Skills and agent configurations as files in a Git repository and sync them via an official GitHub Action, with the same PR review and rollback workflow as application code.",
