feat(matrix): add axis annotation explaining AI execution vs AI output distinction #96

Description

@tessak22

Problem

The Y-axis label 'AI in the API' conflates two meaningfully different things:

  • Browser Use / Stagehand — LLM drives agent execution (deciding what to click/navigate). Developer brings their own model.
  • Tabstack — LLM processes data and returns finished output. No model wiring required.

For a developer choosing a tool, these are completely different capabilities. The axis label alone can't capture this.

Proposed Solution

Add a short annotation or legend below the matrix chart explaining the distinction. Something like:

"AI in the API" means the intelligence is handled server-side — you get structured output, not raw content. This is distinct from tools that use an LLM to drive browser navigation but return unprocessed results.

Could be a small footnote under the SVG, or a hover tooltip on the Y-axis label.
