* fix(knowledge): send tag filters as a JSON string so the document filter works The document-list tag filter never reached the database. The `tagFilters` query field was a Zod `.transform()` that decoded the JSON string into an array of objects; the client's `requestJson` parses the query before serializing, so `appendQuery` received the array and emitted `tagFilters=[object Object]` into the URL. The route then failed to `JSON.parse` it and returned 400, so the list came back empty (or stale via keepPreviousData) regardless of operator or value. - Model `tagFilters` as the wire string it actually is; decode it server-side via a new `parseDocumentTagFiltersParam` helper (route maps a bad value to 400). - Harden `appendQuery`: throw on an array-of-objects query param instead of silently serializing `[object Object]`, so this whole class fails loudly. - Default the text tag-filter operator to `contains` so a partial value matches. - Tests: requestJson serializes the JSON param verbatim + the guard throws; the query schema keeps tagFilters a string; the decode helper round-trips. A full sweep of every GET/DELETE contract query field confirmed this was the only field of this class — logs filters and table filter/sort are unaffected. * fix(knowledge): reject tag-filter operators invalid for the field type Greptile P2: documentTagFilterSchema accepted any non-empty operator string, so an unsupported operator was silently dropped by the query builder instead of returning 400. Validate the operator against the field type's allowed set (single source of truth in filters/types) via superRefine. * fix(knowledge): validate tag-filter type against the slot, not the client claim Greptile P1: operator validation trusted the client-supplied fieldType, so a numeric slot could be sent with fieldType 'text' + 'contains' and slip through to build a text LIKE on a numeric column. Validate against the slot's inherent type via getFieldTypeForSlot (the source of truth): reject unknown slots and fieldType/slot mismatches at the boundary before checking the operator. * fix(knowledge): validate tag-filter values against the field type Greptile P1: value/valueTo were z.unknown(), so a number filter accepted 'abc', a date filter 'not-a-date', etc. — unusable values the query builder then silently dropped. Add a shared isValidFilterValue (single source of truth in filters/types) and reject unusable value/valueTo at the boundary, including the between upper bound. * fix(knowledge): only send a between tag filter once both bounds are set Cursor Bugbot: the strict valueTo validation made a partially-entered between filter (lower bound only) 400 and break the whole document list mid-entry. activeTagFilters now withholds a between row until both bounds are filled — consistent with already requiring the lower bound before sending any filter — so the list keeps loading while the range is being entered. * fix(knowledge): reject impossible calendar dates in tag filters Greptile P1: the date value check was format-only, so 2026-02-30 / 2026-99-99 passed the boundary and then made the document query's ::date cast throw a 500. Validate real calendar dates by round-tripping the parsed parts.
The open-source AI workspace where teams build, deploy, and manage AI agents. Build conversationally, visually, or with code. Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM to automate real work.
Build everything in Chat
Your AI command center. Describe what you want in plain language. Sim knows your entire workspace and takes action: building agents, running them, querying data, and more.
Create files and documents
Generate documents, reports, and presentations from a single prompt, grounded in your workspace data.
Ground agents in your knowledge
Upload documents to a knowledge base and let agents answer questions from your own content.
Structured data with Tables
A database, built in. Store, query, and wire structured data into agent runs.
Build visually with Workflows
Prefer a canvas? Design agents block by block in the visual builder, and let Sim generate blocks, wire variables, and fix errors from natural language.
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).
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat 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.
