* fix(forking): stop a parent re-pick blanking a dependent's stored target value

A dependent selector (a sheet under a spreadsheet, a label under a mailbox)
is invalidated when its parent is re-picked, because the stored child no
longer exists under the new parent. That invalidation was recorded by writing
an empty string into the in-session override map — the same value the user's
own "clear this field" produces. The two are not the same thing, and the map
is submitted verbatim and written into the target workflow's configuration,
so an invalidated field cleared the target's real stored value.

The sharpest case is an undo. Re-pick a parent away from its original target,
then back. The parent nets out unchanged, so nothing is remapped and the
remap's own clearing pass never runs — but the child is still blank, and that
blank lands on a value the user never touched, with nothing in the UI showing
it happened.

Record the invalidation with a distinct marker instead. It reads as blank in
the selector, the in-block chain context, and the Sync gate, so a required
invalidated field still blocks Sync and still renders; but it is omitted from
the submitted payload rather than sent as empty, so no override is written and
the target keeps what it had. A blank the user picked themselves is still
submitted and still clears the target.

Also: skip the cascade entirely when a re-pick selects the value the field
already had, since the selector fires its change handler either way.

Fork file copy: a file whose name is already taken in a reused target folder
is de-duplicated with the same allocator the ordinary upload path uses, rather
than colliding with the folder-name unique index and being dropped from the
fork with its blob deleted.

Adds hook-level coverage for the submitted payload, which had none.

* fix(forking): preserve dependent-chain semantics

* fix(forking): preserve edits during fork sync

* fix(workflows): clear stale dependent inputs in Mothership edits

Ask DeepWiki Set Up with Cursor

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

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun install
bun run 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: Bun and Docker.

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.

Reconfigure an optional capability without rerunning the full wizard:

bun run setup status
bun run setup email
bun run setup storage
bun run setup sandbox
bun run setup jobs
bun run setup cache
bun run setup knowledge
bun run setup llm
bun run setup integration slack

bun run setup status 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 bun run sim status, which reports whether installed services are running and healthy.

Manage your install with bun run sim:

bun run sim start | stop | restart   # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim update                   # pull/rebuild and apply Compose images
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.
