* improvement(data-drains): move drains to the fullscreen list/detail pattern Data drains was the last settings surface still on a Table plus a create modal. It now matches Skills and Custom Tools: - the list is SettingsResourceRow rows in a clickable button, with the source, destination, cadence, and last run on the row and a Disabled tag when a drain is paused - clicking a row opens a detail sub-view: the drain's actions (Run now / Test connection / Delete), its enabled toggle, resolved destination config, and recent run history — replacing the expanding table row - creating a drain is a fullscreen view instead of a modal, reusing the destination form registry so the two never fork - a drain's detail is deep-linkable via `data-drain-id`, pushed on open and replaced on close, matching custom-tool-id and custom-block-id The detail is read-only apart from the enabled toggle: destination credentials are never returned by the API, so changing one means recreating the drain. Alignment work the migration surfaced: - the destination registry rendered its 36 fields with ChipModalField, whose label is byte-identical to a SettingsSection header — on a page that made section titles and field labels indistinguishable. All of them, and the create view's own fields, now use SettingRow like every other page-level detail view - the shared source/destination/cadence label maps moved to labels.ts, now that three files need them - run status uses Badge with a dot rather than hand-coloured text, and byte counts use formatFileSize — the old /1024 math showed a 5 GB export as "5242880.0 KB" - copy follows the sibling surfaces: Create drain, Disabled, Run queued, Connection test passed, and "No drains found matching …" - seed the list cache on create so landing on the new drain's detail doesn't depend on the invalidation refetch succeeding * fix(data-drains): wire destination field labels to their controls The ChipModalField -> SettingRow migration dropped the label/control association that ChipModalField generated for free, so screen readers announced the destination fields unnamed and clicking a label focused nothing. All 35 id-capable controls now carry an id with a matching htmlFor on their row; the one ChipSelect has no id prop, matching how the existing SettingRow + combobox rows render. Also pass includeBytes to formatFileSize — without it any run writing under 1 KB reported '0 Bytes'. * fix(data-drains): name the select fields for assistive tech ChipSelect takes an aria-label that lands on its trigger button, so the four select fields no longer announce as unnamed buttons — the Datadog site plus the create view's source, cadence, and destination type. The visible SettingRow label stays; this only gives the trigger an accessible name, since ChipSelect exposes no id for htmlFor to point at.
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
npx simstudio
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.
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 — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
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
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
- 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.
