ukimsanov bb2df65dd1 docs: rebuild the introduction as a real front door
Make /introduction the single "What is HyperFrames?" page a stranger can be
sent, and retire the switchboard that sat in front of it.

- introduction: lead with one sentence + a sound-on result (drop `muted`),
  simplify the loop diagram to request -> agent -> project -> video, cut the
  fake "See how it works" scroll button, and replace the equal-weight card
  walls with one clear "Start here" action.
- guides/index: remove the six-card "What do you need to do?" menu-of-menus.
  The nav already routes people and /introduction is the real entry point.
  Redirect /guides -> /introduction.
- developers: point the "create a video" link at /quickstart.

mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.

**Tell an AI agent what you want. It builds a real, editable video project — you refine it in Studio and export the film.**
Start from an idea, a website, a script, a recording, a pull request, or a song. The agent does the first build. You keep control of the result.

<Steps>
<Step title="Describe it">
Tell the agent what you want the viewer to understand, feel, or do — and attach a source if you have one.
</Step>
<Step title="Approve the direction">
The agent confirms the important creative choices before it spends time building.
</Step>
<Step title="Refine it in Studio">
The first version opens in HyperFrames Studio — not a flattened export, but a real project whose scenes, timing, text, media, and animation stay editable. Change what you can point at, or ask the agent for a broader revision.
</Step>
<Step title="Export">
Render a standard video, a transparent overlay, a high-resolution file — or keep it as a navigable presentation.
</Step>
</Steps>

## Who does what
The agent does the source-heavy work. Studio is where you stay in control — nothing is hidden behind a locked file.
| Reach for Studio when… | Ask the agent when… |
| --- | --- |
| You can point at the exact text or visual. | The story or message needs to change. |
| A clip needs to move, trim, or split. | Several scenes need coordinated changes. |
| Color, size, position, or timing needs a direct nudge. | New media, research, narration, or source work is required. |
| You want to compare and export versions. | You know the outcome but not the implementation. |
You never have to touch HTML, packages, or the rendering engine to make and review a video. Those live in [Developers](/developers) — for the people integrating or extending HyperFrames.
## Start here
