* improvement(docs): inherit the platform border and font-weight scales #6241 consolidated the app's neutral border tokens and flattened its font-weight scale. `apps/docs` was carrying an untouched copy of the pre-migration values, so the two have visibly drifted — the docs `@theme` block already declares it "mirrors apps/sim/tailwind.config.ts", so the drift is against stated intent rather than a deliberate divergence. Borders — same consolidation as the app: - `--border` #dedede -> #d8d8d8 (light), #333333 -> #444444 (dark) - `--border-1` and `--border-muted` become aliases of `--border`, so the 19 existing `var(--border-1)` consumers pick up the unified colour without being touched - `--divider` is retired; its single consumer moves to `--border` Font weights — the arbitrary values the app dropped: - `font-[480]`/`font-[470]`/`font-[500]` -> `font-medium`, `font-[430]` -> `font-normal`, `font-[600]` -> `font-semibold` The navbar's active tab and its invisible width-reserving ghost both used `font-[480]`; they move to `font-medium` together, so the anti-layout-shift trick still holds. Deliberately NOT ported: the app's `--border-width` hairline (0.5px on hi-dpi). The app wires it through `borderWidth.DEFAULT` in a Tailwind v3 JS config; docs is Tailwind v4 CSS-first, which hardcodes `border: 1px` in the utility with no theme key, so matching it means overriding a Tailwind utility. That is a site-wide visual change and wants its own PR with visual review. Also unchanged: the inline SVGs. `components/icons.tsx` (328) is the brand and integration set, `sim-logo` is a brand mark, and the handful of remaining shapes are bespoke and positioned by hand. Docs already consumes `@sim/emcn/icons` in the 15 places where a shared icon is the right call, and imports zero lucide. * improvement(docs): finish the platform token sweep Follow-on within the same PR. A full comparison of every custom token docs rolls against the platform found three more classes of drift. Text scale — #6241 retuned these and docs kept the old values: - `--text-body` #3b3b3b -> #434343 (light), #cdcdcd -> #c1c1c1 (dark) - `--text-muted` #707070 -> #7a7a7a (light), #787878 -> #6e6e6e (dark) - `--text-icon` #525252 -> #5a5a5a (light), #a0a0a0 -> #969696 (dark) Docs and the app now agree on all 62 shared token names, with zero divergent values. Missing shared-component tokens. Docs renders `@sim/emcn` (Badge, Chip, ChipLink) and `@sim/workflow-renderer` (block, subflow and note views), but never defined 14 of the tokens those components reference — an undefined `var()` silently falls back to `currentColor`, so the failure is invisible until the branch that uses it renders. Several are live: `--warning` on an edited subflow, `--caution` on inline code inside a note, `--text-placeholder` on an empty note, `--border-success` on a successful run edge. Added with the app's values, along with `--text-icon-muted` (new in #6241) and the four Badge palettes docs lacked (teal, cyan, pink, blue-secondary), so any variant renders correctly rather than being one prop away from black. Type scale — docs declares micro/xs/caption/small/base/md in `@theme` but 20 call sites bypassed it with identical raw values (`text-[13px]`, `text-[0.8125rem]`, `text-[12px]`, `text-[15px]`, `text-[10px]`). Each now uses the token; every value is byte-identical, so this is a rename, not a restyle. The class reordering in the same files is biome's `useSortedClasses` reacting to the rename — verified as a pure permutation, with the class multiset unchanged in every file. Deliberately left alone: - `#33C482` / `#2FB3FF` — brand-mark SVG fills and default props in demo data, not styling. - The Ask AI button's inverted `#383838`/`#575757`/`#e0e0e0`/`#cfcfcf`. The platform's `--surface-inverted`/`--surface-inverted-hover` hold *different* values, so adopting them would restyle the control rather than tokenize it. Worth doing, but as a visual change with review.
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.
