The Apache-2.0 workflow builder claims 100K+ builders and a $7M Series A backed by Paul Graham and Perplexity, aiming past demo-stage agent tools.
Why now: Workflow builders are racing to bolt on agents, and Sim's Product Hunt launch on July 15 is staking its claim to the production end of that race.
Sim topped its Product Hunt launch with roughly 28.8K GitHub stars, per its Product Hunt listing.
Sim reports 100K+ builders already on the platform and a $7M Series A backed by Paul Graham and Perplexity, per Product Hunt. That's real capital and adoption behind a workflow tool, not just launch-day upvotes.
The tool itself is a visual workspace for building and deploying agentic workflows. It's Apache-2.0 licensed and connects agents to more than 1,000 integrations and LLMs.
What separates Sim from the last wave of workflow builders is the target. It's going after production agents explicitly: Slack bots, compliance agents, data pipelines. That's the same territory n8n and similar tools have owned for years, except the building blocks are agents now instead of static integrations.
Sim's Product Hunt listing doesn't break down how many of those 1,000+ integrations are deep, production-tested connections versus thin API wrappers. Watch what happens the first time one of those compliance agents hits an edge case the integration wasn't built for.

On Latent Space July 28, OpenAI core product engineering lead Akshay Nathan said Codex and ChatGPT Work combined reached 10 million users within two weeks of the July 9 launch, with monthly actives up more than 10x since January 2026. The number that should reframe your produc...
Spotify's Portal team published Xirp on August 10: a vendor-neutral agentic development environment that manages concurrent sessions across Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex, each session isolated in its own git worktree so dozens of agents can work the same codebase without...
You can now steer a coding agent from your pocket, and that small fact reorganizes the whole workflow. Cursor released a native iOS app (also up on Product Hunt) that lets you kick off, monitor, and guide background coding agents from your phone. Review diffs. Redirect a wande...
