[waleedlatif1]

Summary

• Refreshed the README showcase media with new GIFs pulled from the docs, reordered to lead with Mothership (chat) as the hero

• Added files.gif (document generation) and a tables.png screenshot; replaced workflow.gif, knowledge.gif, mothership.gif
• Re-encoded all GIFs much smaller (showcase media dropped from ~44MB to ~11MB)
• Rewrote the hero tagline to brand language ("open-source AI workspace") and removed all em dashes

PR Summary

Low Risk
Documentation-only README changes with no application or runtime impact.

Overview
Repositions the README around Sim as an “open-source AI workspace” and reorders the feature showcase so Mothership (chat) is the hero, followed by files/documents, knowledge, Tables, and Workflows last.

Media and copy updates: replaces/refreshes showcase GIFs (mothership.gif, files.gif, workflow.gif, knowledge.gif), adds tables.png, drops the standalone Copilot section (Copilot is described inside Workflows), and tweaks a minor Docker Compose docs sentence (punctuation only).

Greptile Summary

This PR refreshes the README showcase media and rewrites the hero section to lead with Mothership (the chat-based AI command center) instead of the visual workflow builder. All GIFs were re-encoded at dramatically smaller sizes, reducing total showcase media from ~44 MB to ~11 MB.

• Reordered sections: Mothership → Files → Knowledge → Tables → Workflows, reflecting the product's primary entry points.
• Media update: copilot.gif removed, files.gif/mothership.gif/tables.png added; knowledge.gif compressed from ~21 MB to ~439 KB, workflow.gif from ~17 MB to ~3.8 MB.
• Copy refresh: Hero tagline updated to "open-source AI workspace" branding; em dashes removed per PR description.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Documentation-only change — no application code is modified, all image references resolve to existing assets, and the deleted copilot.gif has no remaining references in the codebase.

All changed files are README copy and static media assets. Every image path referenced in the updated README was verified to exist on disk, and the removed copilot.gif has no other references anywhere in the repository.

No files require special attention.
