Connect does not replace the visual builder for people who need to create automations without writing code.

 ### Sim
 
-**Best for** Sim is the top [Pipedream alternative](https://www.sim.ai/comparisons/pipedream) on this list if you want non-developers to build AI agents without making code steps the default.
+**Best for** Teams that want a [Pipedream alternative](https://www.sim.ai/comparisons/pipedream) where non-developers can build AI agents without making code steps the default.
 
-**What it is** Sim is the open-source AI workspace where teams build, deploy, and manage AI agents. You can build an agent by describing it in Chat, connecting blocks in the workflow builder, or using the API and SDKs. In the workflow builder, you connect blocks into agent logic, configure their inputs, and inspect execution step by step. The [three build methods](https://docs.sim.ai/introduction) let a non-technical colleague start in Chat or the workflow builder while a developer adds programmatic control when needed. For more context on this category, see our comparison of the [best AI workflow builders](https://www.sim.ai/library/best-ai-workflow-builders).

 **Pros** Sim's [MCP server](https://docs.sim.ai/mcp/overview) lets an external AI app, such as Claude, manage workspaces, run and deploy workflows, and work with tables, files, knowledge bases, and logs. A colleague can use an agent to operate workflows without editing the workflow builder or writing a Pipedream-style code step.
 
-Anyone can self-host Sim's Apache 2.0 core for free; [enterprise features have a separate license](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/blob/main/apps/sim/ee/LICENSE). The [`bunx sim-setup` wizard](https://docs.sim.ai/platform/self-hosting/docker) creates a deployment directory, generates secrets, and starts the published Sim images with Docker Compose. Self-hosted Sim supports local models through Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, or LiteLLM. That gives you a way to run core workflows on infrastructure you manage rather than sending every agent request to a hosted model.

+## Why Sim fits non-developers who need AI agents
 
 Sim gives non-developers a visual way to build AI agents without closing off more technical work. You can describe a workflow in Chat, refine it in the workflow builder, and use the API or SDKs when you need code. Those [build methods](https://docs.sim.ai/introduction) let a non-technical colleague work on the same workflow that a developer can extend.
