Waleed af53eda5ac feat(landing): reintroduce /contact page styled like /demo (#5315)
* feat(landing): reintroduce /contact page styled like /demo

- Restore the /contact page (removed in #5181) with a two-column layout
  mirroring /demo: value prop + trusted-by logos on the left, a message
  form card on the right, on the platform light tokens and chip components
- Restore the contact contract, /api/contact route (rate-limit, honeypot,
  Turnstile, help-inbox notification + visitor confirmation), now fully
  contract-bound via parseRequest
- Add a useSubmitContact React Query mutation hook
- Link Contact from the footer Resources column and add it to the sitemap

* fix(contact): server-authoritative captcha + review fixes

- Make captcha server-authoritative: drop the client-trusted captchaUnavailable
  flag; a valid Turnstile token is the only way past the stricter fallback
  bucket, so callers can't opt out of the challenge
- Re-execute the Turnstile widget on every submit (incl. after expiry) instead
  of falling into the no-captcha path once the token expires
- Reset the pre-submit gate on mutation settle so rapid double-clicks can't fire
  a duplicate /api/contact request
- Map only feature_request to its email type; every other topic resolves to a
  General Inquiry confirmation so support requests aren't labeled bug reports
- Drop the confirmation-email promise from the success copy (it's best-effort)
- Collapse the duplicated no-captcha rate-limit branch; hoist shared response
  constants; read the Turnstile site key as a module constant

* fix(contact): drop redundant Turnstile hostname pin

The Turnstile site key is already domain-bound in Cloudflare, so pinning
expectedHostname to the marketing SITE_URL (www.sim.ai) only rejected valid
tokens issued on self-hosted, preview, and apex-vs-www hosts. Remove the pin
and rely on Cloudflare's own domain binding.

* fix(contact): fail closed on the no-captcha rate-limit backstop

checkRateLimitDirect fails open on limiter-storage errors so a limiter outage
never takes down normal traffic. But the contact route's no-captcha bucket is
the only throttle on token-less submits, so a fail-open there let uncaptcha'd
requests reach the email path unthrottled during an outage.

- Add an opt-in { failClosed } option to checkRateLimitDirect; default behavior
  (fail open) is unchanged
- Use failClosed on the contact no-captcha backstop so an unenforceable limit
  rejects instead of admitting
- Cover both fail-open and fail-closed paths with tests

* refactor(contact): TSDoc over inline comments

Move the captcha-design rationale into the route handler's TSDoc and drop the
inline body/JSX comments, per the project's TSDoc-only comment convention.

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

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. 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.

  1. 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"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. 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_KEY environment 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.
