Auto means a press of a release button causes a spring to open and lock the blade. An example of an assisted opener would be (I think) the knife pictured earlier in the thread; when closed, a little spur of the blade sticks out of the handle. Pressing on it with a finger starts the knife blade opening and a spring finishes opening the blade.
