Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx sim-setup

Open http://localhost:3000

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, and knowledge all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Self-hosting

Requirements: Node.js 20+ and Docker.

npx sim-setup is an interactive wizard that creates a small sim/ deployment directory, provisions the database, generates secrets, writes .env, connects a Chat API key, and starts the published Sim images with Docker Compose. It does not clone the repository.

When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.

Inside a cloned Sim repository, run bun run sim-setup to unlock the source-only local development and Kubernetes modes.

Reconfigure an optional capability without rerunning the full wizard:

npx sim-setup config
npx sim-setup add email
npx sim-setup add storage
npx sim-setup add sandbox
npx sim-setup add jobs
npx sim-setup add cache
npx sim-setup add knowledge
npx sim-setup add chat
npx sim-setup add llm
npx sim-setup add integration slack

npx sim-setup config detects the effective local-dev, Docker Compose, or current-context Helm configuration and reports configured, missing, or invalid capabilities and OAuth integrations without printing credential values. This is separate from npx sim-setup status, which reports whether installed services are running and healthy.

Manage your install from its directory:

npx sim-setup start | stop | restart   # bring your install up / down / cycle
npx sim-setup update                   # pull and apply Compose images
npx sim-setup status                   # what's installed and healthy
npx sim-setup logs                     # follow logs
npx sim-setup doctor                   # diagnose configuration problems
npx sim-setup down                     # remove containers (data kept)
npx sim-setup reset                    # archive .env and wipe managed data

The setup package detects how you're running and acts accordingly. Use --dir <path> to create or manage a deployment somewhere other than ./sim.

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. npx sim-setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.

Requirements

Requires simstudio-db UP AND RUNNING on the same Docker network (simstudio_internal). Must run and complete successfully before starting simstudio-app and simstudio-realtime AND after every simstudio-db upgrade. This is a one-time setup container.

IMPORTANT: Before adding this container, you must create the Docker network 'simstudio_internal' first.

Follow these steps in Unraid:

  1. Open Terminal (Go to Main, click Terminal button)
  2. Run: docker network create simstudio_internal
  3. Go to Settings > Docker
  4. Set "Enable Docker" to "No" and click Apply
  5. Set "Preserve user defined networks" to "Yes" and click Apply
  6. Set "Enable Docker" to "Yes" and click Apply
  7. The network is now ready for use with all Sim Studio containers
