What is Sim?
Sim is a unified workspace for building and operating AI systems. Everything you make lives in one place, and everything connects.
What you will learn
What a workspace is
A workspace holds two things: resources — your data — and workflows — your processes. Both live together and reference each other.
How the pieces relate
Workflows are where work happens; resources are what they work on; integrations are how both reach the outside world.
The workspace
A workspace is a collection of shared resources and the workflows that use them.
- Resources are your data: tables (structured records), knowledge bases (searchable memory), and files (documents and media).
- Workflows are your processes — the agents and automations that read those resources, act, and write results back.
Everything in a workspace can see everything else in it. A workflow reads a table, searches a knowledge base, produces a file — and the next workflow picks up where it left off.
Integrations connect you to the outside world
Integrations are plugins. They let your resources and workflows reach services beyond Sim — send a Slack message, read a Gmail inbox, write a row to a CRM, call any API. You connect an account once, and any workflow can use it.
So the whole picture is small: a workspace is data + processes, integrations plug it into everything else, and the rest of this course is just learning each piece and watching them compose.
