* feat(knowledge): add chunking strategies and regex strict boundaries - Add Token, Sentence, Recursive, and Regex chunkers with strategy selection in create-base modal - Add opt-in strict boundaries mode for regex chunker so each match becomes its own chunk - Add chunking strategies docs page with industry references * fix(chunkers): strip capturing groups and validate strictBoundaries scope - Convert capturing groups to non-capturing in regex chunker so split() doesn't surface delimiter text as spurious chunks - Reject strictBoundaries in chunkingConfigSchema when strategy is not regex * fix(chunkers): also strip named capture groups in regex patterns Named groups (?<name>...) are still capturing groups so split() interleaves their matched text. Convert them to non-capturing alongside plain ( groups. * fix(chunkers): exclude lookbehind from named-group rewrite Tighten NAMED_GROUP_PREFIX with negative lookahead so patterns like (?<=<tag>) are not misidentified as named capture groups.

Build Workflows with Ease
Design agent workflows visually on a canvas—connect agents, tools, and blocks, then run them instantly.
Supercharge with Copilot
Leverage Copilot to generate nodes, fix errors, and iterate on flows directly from natural language.
Integrate Vector Databases
Upload documents to a vector store and let agents answer questions grounded in your specific content.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted: NPM Package
npx simstudio
Note
Docker must be installed and running on your machine.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-p, --port <port> |
Port to run Sim on (default 3000) |
--no-pull |
Skip pulling latest Docker images |
Self-hosted: Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Self-hosted: Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
Or install manually via the pgvector guide.
- Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
bun run dev:full # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server
Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).
Copilot API Keys
Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
- Set
COPILOT_API_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
