Waleed 23bc210bf8 fix(seo): noindex non-production sim.ai hosts, redirect indexed 404s (#5988)
* fix(seo): noindex non-production sim.ai hosts, redirect indexed 404s

Non-production deployments (dev.sim.ai, staging.sim.ai) serve the same
build as www.sim.ai and were fully crawlable. Send X-Robots-Tag noindex
for those hosts, and 301 seven marketing paths that an external SEO
audit found returning 404.

* fix(seo): parse only the first entry of a comma-joined forwarded host

A multi-value x-forwarded-host survives the port split intact, so
endsWith('.sim.ai') matched on the trailing entry and could apply
noindex to the canonical site. Normalize with the same
split(',')[0].trim() the rest of the repo uses for forwarded headers.

* fix(seo): drop the /security redirect, complete the urls test mock

security.txt advertises /security as its RFC 9116 Policy URI, so a
permanent redirect to marketing would mislead that link and shadow a
real policy page added later.

urlsMock is installed globally and documents itself as carrying every
real export, but was missing CANONICAL_SITE_HOST and
isNonCanonicalSimHost — any test loading proxy.ts would have called
undefined in track().

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 simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

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, knowledge, and scheduled tasks 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

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Requirements: Bun and Docker.

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun install
bun run setup

bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:

  • Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
  • Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
  • Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster

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

Manage your install with bun run sim:

bun run sim start | stop | restart   # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status                    # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs                      # follow logs
bun run sim doctor                    # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down                      # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset                     # archive .env and wipe managed data

sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.

Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.

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. bun run 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/account/settings/chat-keys.

Environment Variables

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