* fix(chat): keep autoscroll pinned when the virtualizer re-scrolls during streaming The sticky-scroll detach heuristic (scrollTop drops while scrollHeight doesn't grow) could not distinguish a user scrollbar drag from a programmatic scroll. react-virtual re-pins content by moving scrollTop whenever a measured row's size changes — including the transient height shrinks streamdown emits as it re-parses each streaming token — so the hook misread those upward programmatic scrolls as the user scrolling away and detached mid-stream. Gate the scroll-delta detach branch behind a genuine recent user gesture (pointerdown/up tracking + wheel/touch/keydown stamp). Programmatic scrolls have no preceding gesture, so they no longer detach; scrollbar drag, wheel, and keyboard detach are preserved. * fix(chat): address review — reset pointer ref on teardown, stop wheel/touch opening detach window - Reset pointerDownRef in effect cleanup so a pointer held through teardown (e.g. dragging the scrollbar as a stream finishes) can't leak a stuck-true ref into the next session and detach on the first programmatic re-pin. - Wheel-up and touch-drag already detach directly, so the onScroll delta heuristic only needs to authorize scrollbar drag (pointerDownRef) and keyboard. Stop stamping the gesture window on wheel/touch, which otherwise let a harmless downward wheel open a 250ms window where a virtualizer shrink could falsely detach. * fix(chat): scope detach authorization to real scroll gestures; TSDoc comments - onPointerDown only marks an active drag when the press targets the scroll container itself (the scrollbar), not its content, so a text-selection drag on a message can't authorize a detach during a programmatic re-pin. - Reset lastUserGestureAtRef on teardown alongside pointerDownRef so neither a held pointer nor a late keydown can leak across streaming sessions. - Convert the hook's inline comments to TSDoc on the relevant declarations per codebase conventions. * fix(chat): only upward scroll keys authorize a keyboard detach onKeyDown stamped the gesture window on any bubbling key, so an unrelated keypress within USER_GESTURE_WINDOW of a programmatic virtualizer re-pin could satisfy userDriven and detach mid-stream. Filter to the upward scroll keys (ArrowUp, PageUp, Home, Shift+Space), mirroring the wheel handler's upward-only rule, so only a genuine upward keyboard scroll authorizes detach.
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.
