* improvement(docs): remove Ask AI, add missing surfaces, align sidebar to the app - Removes the Ask AI widget, its /api/chat route, and the four deps exclusive to it (@ai-sdk/openai, @ai-sdk/react, ai, streamdown). lib/embeddings and docsEmbeddings stay — /api/search uses them. - Adds --surface-7 and --surface-hover, the last two platform surfaces docs lacked. - Aligns the sidebar with the app's canonical nav chrome: px-2.5 -> px-2, text-small -> text-sm, hover --surface-3 -> --surface-active, and an active hover of --surface-6, matching the Chip the app's sidebar items are built on. * fix(docs): make the sidebar hover CSS agree with the utilities Review caught that the sidebar hover alignment in this PR had no visual effect. `global.css` carries !important rules for both the link and button sidebar items — they exist to beat fumadocs' own styles — and they were still forcing the pre-alignment values: --surface-3 on an inactive hover, and --surface-active on an active hover. So the Tailwind utilities were dead on arrival. The global rules now carry the app's values instead (--surface-active inactive, --surface-6 active), matching the utilities rather than fighting them, with a comment noting the two must move together.
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun run setup
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 — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Self-hosting
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/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
