Open-source AI automation that unifies agents, flows and 770+ app integrations
Describe a task in everyday words and the agent determines the steps, chooses tools from your connected apps and MCP servers, and pauses for approval on sensitive actions.
Build automations on a canvas with branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows and error handling, then write inline TypeScript for the steps that need real code.
Every piece is MIT-licensed and community-built, covering the apps you already run, with an HTTP piece for any REST or GraphQL endpoint with auth and pagination handled.
Draft flows by chatting, store structured data in Tables that flows and agents can read and write, and keep internal documents searchable by every agent.

Open-source workspace to build, deploy and govern AI agents
Create agents by describing them in Chat, arranging blocks on a visual canvas, or writing code and CLI commands, and deploy the result without rebuilding it.
Sync and auto-update documents from Notion, Google Drive, Confluence, Slack, GitHub and SharePoint so agents ground answers in current company knowledge.
Agents read and write structured data in Sim Tables and keep files and artifacts organized in one shared store across runs.
Trace every agent run block by block with success rate, latency, execution cost and failure details for debugging and reporting.
