  Reposition README's opening paragraph to emphasize core value

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Large language models (LLMs) have shown huge success in different text generation tasks and enable developers to build generative agents based on objectives expressed in natural language. However, most generative agents require heavy customization for specific purposes, and supporting different use cases can sometimes be overwhelming using existing tools and frameworks. As a result, it is still very challenging to build a custom generative agent. In addition, evaluating such generative agents, which is usually done by manually trying different scenarios, is a very manual, repetitive, and expensive task. AutoChain takes inspiration from LangChain and AutoGPT and aims to solve both problems by providing a lightweight and extensible framework for developers to build their own agents using LLMs with custom tools and [automatically evaluating](#workflow-evaluation) different user scenarios with simulated conversations. Experienced user of LangChain would find AutoChain is easy to navigate since they share similar but simpler concepts. The goal is to enable rapid iteration on generative agents, both by simplifying agent customization and evaluation.

  AutoChain is a lightweight, extensible framework designed for building and *automatically evaluating* custom large language model (LLM) agents. Inspired by LangChain and AutoGPT, AutoChain simplifies agent customization and provides robust, simulated conversation-based evaluation, enabling rapid iteration and ensuring reliability for your generative AI applications. Developers familiar with LangChain will find AutoChain's concepts intuitive and streamlined, with a strong emphasis on testability.
