A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.

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.
