    1) functionally, not that I'm aware of. the only thing right now is running from a specific block onwards, something that we are rolling out this week. you'll be able to run the wo…

    we built an execution engine ourselves https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/tree/main/apps/sim/execut... and for the infra for background jobs, we use https://trigger.dev/

    thank you! hope you enjoy

    the prebuilt images are in compose.prod file only, not in compose.local. since the copilot is a managed service, you’d be setting those azure credentials in your .env and the copil…

    afaik, there are actually a ton of unique IoT integrations that node-red has. a majority of their nodes/flows have accompanying physical devices and sensors

    We actually wrote our own serializer & execution engine and for long-running jobs, we defer to trigger.dev

    You actually can, if you self-host there are environment variables to control what models are available to the copilot but it’s tuned to Azure for the time being. We can work on ge…

    Everything that’s available today in our repo will be Apache 2.0 forever, so you don’t have to worry about that :)

    We keep all workflows running on Sim cloud backwards compatible always. The idea is that you build, deploy, and never have to make modifications again unless you want to. If we rel…

    sounds super cool! let me know how it goes

    Comment #46240017

    Copilot and a few modules are sim.ai-only, but self-hosters can access them with an API key. The core—execution engine, all integrations, deployment—is fully Apache 2.0. We aimed f…

    Node-RED is great for IoT/edge/data flows. Sim is built specifically for AI agents—native LLM support, tool-use control, structured outputs, token-level observability, etc.

    Comment #46239238

    1. we wanted to have full control over the agent orchestration and the execution since we didn't like the abstractions that many of the existing frameworks had built, and didn't wa…

    Comment #46239171

    the agents would be great in the instructions where we need to `do something`, but asides from that is sounds like a pure orchestration task. now, handling an integration to someth…

    Comment #46239112

    this is actually a perfect use case, mostly deterministic workflows that need LLMs to fill in the gaps or do the knowledge work. As you mentioned, you can either add it as a row in…

    its a conservative estimate, but primarily because there's a socket server that runs alongside the main container, so you never have to manually save because changes are debounced,…

    n8n uses a "Sustainable Use License"—source available, but not OSI-approved open source. This means you can only use it for internal business purposes or non-commercial use. Sim is…

    thanks for the feedback, I was actually thinking this the other day. we'll slow them down.

    at the moment, we don't support 'loops in loops' on the client-side, but not for any other reason asides from it becoming confusing for users. since we don't actually make copies f…

    Comment #46236324

    for loops we use two sentinel nodes with a backwards edge, and before each iteration, we check the condition and update loop variables. sentinel -> body -> sentinel (condition with…
