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.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
