Use Chat to build workflows, research a topic, generate files, query tables, schedule jobs, and act through connected integrations. Reference the workspace resources you want Sim to use.
What You Can Do
| Area | What Sim can do |
|---|---|
| Workflows | Build, edit, run, debug, deploy, and organize workflows |
| Research | Search the web, read pages, crawl sites, produce research reports |
| Files & Documents | Upload, create, edit, and generate documents, presentations, and images |
| Tables | Create, query, update, and export workspace tables |
| Automation & Configuration | Schedule jobs, take immediate actions, connect integrations, manage tools |
| Knowledge Bases | Create knowledge bases, add documents, and query content in plain language |
How It Works
Sim can find workspace resources by name and inspect the details it needs. Reference a resource explicitly when you want to direct its attention:
- "Run the invoice workflow"
- "Add a row to the leads table"
- "Deploy the summarizer as a chat"
No configuration, no context-setting. Just describe what you want:
- "Build a lead enrichment workflow that scores inbound signups and writes the results to the leads table"
- "Research our top 5 competitors and save a battle card for each one"
- "Schedule a daily job that checks for new high-fit prospects and posts them to #outbound in Slack"
- "Create a workflow that takes a contract PDF, extracts the key terms, and emails a summary to legal"
For complex tasks, Sim delegates to specialized subagents automatically. You'll see them appear as collapsible sections in the chat while they work — building, researching, writing files, executing actions.
Adding Context
Bring any workspace object into the conversation via the + menu, @-mentions, or drag-and-drop from the sidebar. Sim also opens resources automatically when it creates or modifies them.
| What to add | How it appears |
|---|---|
| Workflow | Interactive canvas in the resource panel |
| Table | Full table editor in the resource panel |
| File | File viewer with editor, split, and preview modes |
| Knowledge Base | Knowledge base management UI |
| Folder | Folder contents |
| Past task | A previous Chat conversation |
Layout
Chat has two panes. On the left: the chat thread, where your messages and Sim's responses appear. On the right: the resource panel, where workflows, tables, files, and knowledge bases open as tabs. The panel is resizable; tabs are draggable and closeable.
