Sim Studio

Getting Started

1. Visit agentic.rc.asu.edu
2. Log in with your ASURITE credentials
3. Click New Workflow to create your first workflow

Creating a Workflow

Step 1: Add a Trigger

Every workflow starts with a trigger. Click the + button and select a trigger type:

• Manual/Chat: Run the workflow manually or through a chat interface
• Webhook: Trigger via HTTP request
• Schedule: Run on a cron schedule
• API: Expose as a REST endpoint

Step 2: Add Blocks

Drag blocks from the sidebar onto the canvas. Common block types:

Block	Purpose
Agent	AI model that processes input and generates responses
API	Make HTTP requests to external services
Function	Run custom code
Condition	Branch logic based on conditions
Loop	Iterate over data
Router	Route to different paths based on input

Step 3: Connect Blocks

Click and drag from one block's output to another block's input to create connections. Data flows through these connections.

Step 4: Configure Each Block

Click a block to open its configuration panel:

• Select the AI model (for Agent blocks)
• Set the prompt or instructions
• Map input variables from previous blocks
• Configure output format

Step 5: Test and Deploy

• Click Run to test your workflow
• View execution logs to debug issues
• Once working, your workflow is ready to use via its trigger

Using Variables

Reference data from previous blocks using the @ syntax:

Summarize this text: @input.text

Access nested data with dot notation:

The user's name is @previous_block.response.user.name

Using Copilot

Sim includes an AI assistant to help build workflows:

1. Click the Copilot button
2. Describe what you want to build in natural language
3. Switch to Agent mode to let Copilot make changes directly on your canvas

Example prompts:

• "Add a block that sends an email with the agent's response"
• "Create a condition that checks if the sentiment is positive"
• "Connect this workflow to Slack"
