# Sim
> Sim is the open-source AI workspace where teams build, deploy, and manage AI agents. Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM to create agents that automate real work — visually, conversationally, or with code.
Teams build agents in the visual workflow builder, by talking to Sim in Chat, or with code through the API and SDKs. The workspace includes knowledge bases, tables, files, and logs for every run. Sim is open source (Apache 2.0) and runs in the cloud or self-hosted.
The full text of the library, customer stories, and comparison facts is in [llms-full.txt](https://www.sim.ai/llms-full.txt).
