Autobuild
Autobuild is one of Link's new Abilities in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that allows you to queue up vehicles and designs made through Ultrahand to quickly build saved constructions with mutiple parts in mere seconds.
Unlike Link's other abilities in Tears of the Kingdom, this ability is not gained during your time on the Great Sky Island. Instead, you'll be given an optional Main Quest after completing your first Regional Phenomena on the Surface by Josha to solve A Mystery in the Depths that will also unlock Autobuild - however you can also stumble upon this Ability early if you know where to look.
Autobuild is essentially an extension of Ultrahand that allows you to build completed designs rapidly with or without the necessary materials on hand. Any time you glue two or more objects together with Ultrahand, it creates a saved design that is stored in Autobuild. A list of your 30 most recent creations can be viewed by triggering Autobuild, to which you can also favorite constructions you use often, like bikes, boats, and flying machines.
When you select the construct you want to rapidly build, it will show a transparent version in front of you, at which point you can move near any materials nearby to automatically add them to the build. Any parts you don't have on hand will be created out of Zonaite in your inventory, though the costs can rise depending on the missing piece and the complexity - for example, a Fan will cost 3 Zonaite to replicate, but is often found lying around in the world.

This can also be used to create unorthodox designs, such as using Ultrahand on items found only in Shrines to reconstruct elsewhere, or fusing explosive barrels together to quickly summon explosives made from Zonaite as often as you like.
To conserve Zonaite, it's recommended that you build near construction piles or Zonaite Device Depots in the Depths to use all the available materials you can, or grab some devices from the Zonai Device Dispensers to have the items on hand.
In addition to Recents or Favorites, you can also find schematics and recipes in your journey. There are many underground Forges in the Depths where Constructs can give you Schema Stones for various constructs and utility designs. The Yiga have also hoarded Yiga Schematics and designs for weaponized vehicles and keep them in the many bases they've built throughout the Depths.
