feat(blog): add five blogs

[waleedlatif1]

Summary

• Add five AI-agent blog posts under apps/sim/content/blog/, dated June 23–27 2026:
  • how-to-create-an-ai-agent — How to Build AI Agents With Sim (author: waleed)
  • ai-agent-vs-chatbot — AI Agent vs Chatbot (author: emir)
  • ai-agents-vs-rpa — AI Agents vs RPA (author: emir)
  • ai-agent-ideas — 10 AI Agent Ideas (author: emir)
  • best-zapier-alternatives — 10 Best Zapier Alternatives (author: emir)
• Each post is a standalone index.mdx with schema-valid frontmatter (slug, title, description, date, author, tags, ogImage, canonical) and GFM tables/FAQ/blockquote formatting.

Type of Change

• New content (blog posts)

Testing

Validated all five against the real gray-matter + Zod BlogFrontmatterSchema; authors resolve, dates parse, no stray markers or duplicate H1s.

Notes (follow-up cleanup)

• OG images use placeholder cover.png paths per slug — cover art still needs to be added.
• Brand terms ("Mothership"/"Copilot") kept as-is pending a copy/constitution pass.

Checklist

• Code follows project style guidelines
• Self-reviewed my changes
• Tests added/updated and passing
• No new warnings introduced
• I confirm that I have read and agree to the terms outlined in the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

PR Summary

Low Risk
Content-only additions with no runtime, auth, or data-path changes; main follow-up risk is missing OG images or copy inconsistencies called out in the PR notes.

Overview
Adds five new marketing blog posts under apps/sim/content/blog/, each as a standalone index.mdx with standard frontmatter (slug, SEO fields, authors, ogImage, canonical URLs) and long-form MDX (tables, FAQs, blockquotes). No application or registry code changes—the existing blog scanner picks up new slug directories automatically.

New posts (June 23–27, 2026): how-to-create-an-ai-agent (Sim build tutorial, waleed); ai-agent-vs-chatbot and ai-agents-vs-rpa (comparison/decision content, emir); ai-agent-ideas (10 use cases, emir); best-zapier-alternatives (roundup with pricing tables, emir).

Follow-up: Frontmatter references cover.png per slug; actual OG/cover assets are not in this diff.

Missing blog cover image assets

Medium Severity

Each new post sets ogImage to /blog/<slug>/cover.png, but no matching files exist under apps/sim/public/blog/ for these slugs. With draft: false, published pages, listings, related posts, and Open Graph metadata will request images that 404.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds five new AI agent blog posts to apps/sim/content/blog/, covering agent ideas, agent-vs-chatbot, agents-vs-RPA, Zapier alternatives, and a how-to guide. All posts use valid schema-compliant frontmatter and both author IDs (waleed, emir) resolve correctly in the authors registry.

• The five MDX articles are dated June 23–27 2026, pass BlogFrontmatterSchema Zod validation, and follow the same frontmatter shape as existing posts (openai-vs-n8n-vs-sim, etc.).
• OG cover images referenced in every post (/blog/{slug}/cover.png) are placeholder paths — the actual image assets are not yet committed, which means social-sharing previews will be broken until the images land.
• A minor copy issue in best-zapier-alternatives (TL;DR lists only 6 of the 10 tools) and a pronoun error in ai-agent-ideas are the only substantive findings.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge as a draft/staging publish, but the five missing cover images should land before any post is promoted or indexed — broken OG images affect every social share.

All five posts pass schema validation and both author IDs resolve correctly from the registry. The only substantive gap is that the cover.png assets referenced in every frontmatter ogImage field are not committed, so social-sharing metadata will be broken in production until those images ship. Two minor copy errors (a TL;DR that omits four tools in best-zapier-alternatives, and the 'everyone' pronoun in ai-agent-ideas) are cosmetic but visible to readers.

All five posts reference missing OG image assets; best-zapier-alternatives/index.mdx has a TL;DR that is incomplete relative to its own title.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/sim/content/blog/how-to-create-an-ai-agent/index.mdx	New tutorial post on building AI agents with Sim; valid frontmatter, author waleed resolves correctly, content is complete and structurally sound.
apps/sim/content/blog/ai-agent-vs-chatbot/index.mdx	AI agent vs chatbot comparison post; valid schema, author emir resolves, GFM tables render correctly. No issues found.
apps/sim/content/blog/ai-agents-vs-rpa/index.mdx	AI agents vs RPA post; valid frontmatter and schema, author emir resolves, content is well structured. No issues found.
apps/sim/content/blog/ai-agent-ideas/index.mdx	10 AI agent ideas post; valid schema, but intro paragraph uses "everyone" (referring to people) where "every idea" is the intended antecedent — a minor copy error visible to readers.
apps/sim/content/blog/best-zapier-alternatives/index.mdx	10 best Zapier alternatives post; valid schema, but the TL;DR summary section lists only 6 of the 10 alternatives covered in the body (Microsoft Power Automate, Pipedream, Relay.app, and Integrately are absent).

Missing OG image assets across all five posts

All five new posts reference cover.png files (e.g., /blog/how-to-create-an-ai-agent/cover.png) that are not included in this PR. Until the actual image files are committed, every post will render a broken social-sharing card and an empty <meta property="og:image"> tag. The same applies to ai-agent-ideas, ai-agent-vs-chatbot, ai-agents-vs-rpa, and best-zapier-alternatives. This is flagged in the PR notes as a known follow-up — worth tracking explicitly so it ships before posts are indexed or shared.
