+
+**Sim v0.6** turns your workspace into a living system. The Mothership is now the control plane for the entire platform—an AI that understands your workflows, your data, and your tools, and can act on all of them in a single conversation. Alongside it, we're introducing Tables for structured data storage and Knowledge Base Connectors that automatically sync documents from 30+ external sources.

+
+## The Mothership
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of Mothership chat interface */}
+{/* ![Mothership](/blog/v0-6/mothership.png) */}
+
+The Mothership is the central intelligence of your Sim workspace. It's not just a chatbot—it's an orchestrator that has full context over your workflows, tables, knowledge bases, and every integration you've connected. Ask it a question and it can reason across all of them.
+
+### It Knows Your Workspace
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how the Mothership has full awareness of everything in your workspace—your workflows (and whether they're deployed), your tables (with their schemas and row counts), your knowledge bases (and which connectors feed them), your files, your credentials, your team members. You don't have to explain context. Ask "which workflows use Slack?" or "how many rows are in my Leads table?" and it already knows. */}
+
+### Use Any Integration, Anytime
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how the Mothership can call any of your 100+ integration tools directly—query a CRM, send a Slack message, search a knowledge base, create a Linear issue—all from a single prompt. No workflow needed for ad-hoc tasks. */}
+
+### Read, Write, and Edit Files
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of the split-view resource panel */}
+{/* ![Resource Panel](/blog/v0-6/resource-panel.png) */}
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how the Mothership can create, read, update, and rename files in your workspace—Markdown, JSON, YAML, CSV, HTML, SVG, and more. It opens files in a split-view panel right next to the chat, so you can watch it draft a document, edit a config file, or generate an SVG in real time. Ask it to "write a report summarizing last week's metrics" and it creates the Markdown file, populates it, and shows you the rendered preview inline. It can also import CSVs directly into Tables. */}
+
+### Build Workflows from a Prompt
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of the Mothership building a workflow */}
+{/* ![Build from Chat](/blog/v0-6/build-from-chat.png) */}
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how you can describe what you need in plain English and the Mothership builds the entire workflow—wires the blocks, configures integrations, sets up triggers, tests it, and deploys it as an API, chat UI, or MCP tool. "Build me a workflow that takes a GitHub issue, searches our docs, and posts a suggested fix to Slack" → done. When something breaks, it debugs and fixes the issue. */}
+
+### Inbox & Email
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how the Mothership can receive and process emails—you can email your workspace and the Mothership reads the message, executes tasks using your integrations and data, and replies. Turn your workspace into an email-driven automation layer. */}
+
+### Use It Inside Workflows
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how you can add a Mothership block to any workflow. When a workflow hits a step that needs complex reasoning—researching across multiple knowledge bases, synthesizing information, making a judgment call—it can hand that off to the Mothership and get a structured response back. Example: a customer support workflow uses the Mothership block to research the issue, draft a response, and return it to the next step. */}
+
+### Scheduled Tasks
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of scheduled tasks UI */}
+{/* ![Scheduled Tasks](/blog/v0-6/scheduled-tasks.png) */}
+
+Tell the Mothership what you need done and when, and it handles the rest. Scheduled tasks let you set up recurring or one-time jobs that the Mothership executes autonomously on a cron schedule—with full access to your integrations, tables, and knowledge bases.
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the two lifecycle modes—persistent (runs indefinitely on schedule) and until_complete (polls until a success condition is met, then stops). Configurable max runs, timezone support (40+ IANA timezones), and automatic failure tracking that disables a task after 3 consecutive failures. */}
+
+**Examples of what you can schedule:**
+
+- **"Every morning at 9am, check my Gmail for new support tickets and create rows in my Tickets table."** — A persistent task that runs daily, searches Gmail via the integration, and writes structured data to a Table.
+- **"Every hour, poll the Stripe API for failed payments and send a Slack summary to #billing."** — Recurring monitoring that crosses two integrations in a single prompt.
+- **"Check if the Q1 report has been uploaded to Google Drive. When it appears, summarize it and email the team."** — An until_complete task that polls until the success condition is met, then stops automatically.
+- **"Every Monday at 8am, pull this week's Linear issues, cross-reference with our product roadmap in Notion, and post a status update to Slack."** — Multi-step reasoning across three integrations on a weekly schedule.
+- **"Once a day, sync new HubSpot contacts into my Leads table and enrich them with Clearbit data."** — Persistent data pipeline that keeps your Table up to date.
+
+{/* TODO: Mention that jobs track execution history (last 50 runs), so the Mothership has context about what it did previously—making each run smarter. Also mention the UI for creating/managing tasks with visual cron builder, pause/resume, and execution logs with cost tracking. */}
+
+---
+
+## Tables
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of Tables UI */}
+{/* ![Tables](/blog/v0-6/tables.png) */}
+
+Tables give your workflows persistent, structured storage. Create databases with typed columns, query them with filters and sorting, and use them as the state layer for any automation.
+
+### Structured Data in Your Workflows
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how Tables work as first-class primitives—string, number, boolean, date, JSON column types. 10+ operations available as workflow blocks: query, insert, upsert, batch insert, update, delete, get row, get schema. Show a real example of a workflow using a Table block. */}
+
+### Filter & Query Builder
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the visual filter builder and JSON editor modes. Filter operators ($eq, $ne, $gt, $contains, $in, etc.), sorting, pagination. Both no-code and code-friendly interfaces. */}
+
+### Undo/Redo & Direct Editing
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the UI for direct table editing with full undo/redo support—create rows, update cells, rename columns, change column types. All reversible. */}
+
+### API Access
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the full REST API for tables—list, create, query rows, upsert, batch operations. Programmatic access from external systems. */}
+
+---
+
+## Files
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of file manager with split-view preview */}
+{/* ![Files](/blog/v0-6/files.png) */}
+
+Your workspace has a built-in file system. Upload documents, create new files, and use them across your workflows and the Mothership.
+
+### Upload and Preview Anything
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on file upload support—PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, Markdown, JSON, YAML, CSV, HTML, SVG, audio (MP3, WAV, etc.), video (MP4, MOV, etc.), up to 100MB per file. Rich previews for each type: Markdown renders with syntax highlighting and tables, HTML and SVG render inline in sandboxed iframes, CSVs render as scrollable data tables, PDFs render natively, audio/video play with native controls. */}
+
+### Edit in the Browser
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the three editing modes—Editor (full text editing), Split (editor + live preview side by side), and Preview (read-only rendered view). Autosave with Cmd+S manual save. Editable formats: Markdown, plain text, JSON, YAML, CSV, HTML, SVG. Create new Markdown files from scratch. */}
+
+### CSV to Table Import
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how you can import any CSV or TSV file directly into a workspace Table. Sim auto-detects delimiters (comma, tab, semicolon), infers column types (string, number, boolean, date) from the first 100 rows, sanitizes column names, and batch-inserts up to 1000 rows. Go from a raw export to a queryable, workflow-ready Table in one click. */}
+
+### Files in Workflows
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on how the File block lets workflows accept file uploads or URL references, parse content (PDF text extraction, CSV parsing, HTML structure extraction), and pass files between blocks. Workflow outputs can write files back to workspace storage. The Mothership can also create and edit files programmatically. */}
+
+---
+
+## Knowledge Base Connectors
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of Connectors UI */}
+{/* ![Connectors](/blog/v0-6/connectors.png) */}
+
+Connectors bring your external data into Sim automatically. Connect a source, configure what to sync, and we handle the rest—fetching documents, chunking content, generating embeddings, and keeping everything up to date on a schedule.
+
+### 30+ Supported Sources
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the full list of connectors—Google Docs, Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, Slack, GitHub, Jira, Linear, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Airtable, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Gmail, Outlook, Discord, Reddit, and more. Mention OAuth and API key auth flows. */}
+
+### Automatic Sync & Incremental Updates
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the sync engine—scheduled syncs via cron, incremental sync support (only fetch changed documents), full re-sync option, pagination handling (up to 500 pages), parallel document fetching. Background processing via Trigger.dev. */}
+
+### Chunking & Embedding Pipeline
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the document processing pipeline—PDF with OCR (via Mistral), markdown, JSON, YAML, plain text. Configurable chunking (size, overlap, min size). Embeddings via OpenAI text-embedding-3-small (1536 dimensions) with BYOK support. Token-aware batching and retry logic. */}
+
+### Semantic Search & Tag Filtering
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the search capabilities—vector similarity search, tag-based filtering (text, number, date, boolean), hybrid search across multiple knowledge bases. Connectors auto-create tag definitions from source metadata (owners, dates, labels). */}
+
+### From Source to RAG in Minutes
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the end-to-end flow—connect a source, documents sync automatically, chunks and embeddings generated, instantly searchable via Knowledge Base block in workflows or via the Mothership. Show a concrete example: connect Google Docs → search from a workflow → get relevant context for an agent. */}
+
+---
+
+## Everything Works Together
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot or diagram showing the full loop */}
+{/* ![Full Loop](/blog/v0-6/full-loop.png) */}
+
+{/* TODO: This is the synthesis section. Elaborate on how all three features compose together. The Mothership can query your Tables, search your Knowledge Bases (fed by Connectors), and trigger your Workflows—all in a single conversation. A user asks a question → the Mothership searches synced Notion docs → stores the result in a Table → triggers a Slack notification workflow. One control plane, all your data, all your tools. */}
+
+---
+
+## New Integrations
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate briefly on the new integrations added in v0.6. Keep this lighter than v0.5's integration section since the focus is on the three hero features above. */}
+
+### Attio
+
+{/* TODO: 40 tools covering records, notes, tasks, objects, lists, members, comments, threads, and webhooks. Plus 18 webhook triggers for real-time event handling. Full CRM automation from within Sim. */}
+
+### Gong
+
+{/* TODO: 18 tools for call intelligence—transcripts, analytics, interaction stats, scorecards, coaching data. Connect your revenue intelligence directly to workflows. */}
+
+### Hex
+
+{/* TODO: 16 tools for data project management—run projects, check status, manage data connections and collections. Orchestrate your analytics pipelines. */}
+
+### Confluence Triggers
+
+{/* TODO: 16 webhook event types—page created/updated/moved/removed, comment events, blog events, attachment events, space events, label events. React to Confluence changes in real time. */}
+
+---
+
+## Multiple Credentials & Credential Sharing
+
+{/* TODO: screenshot of credential management UI */}
+{/* ![Credentials](/blog/v0-6/credentials.png) */}
+
+{/* TODO: Elaborate on the ability to connect multiple accounts per service (e.g., multiple Slack workspaces, multiple GitHub orgs). Personal vs workspace credentials. Credential sharing across team members. Bulk environment variable entry. Reconnect to switch accounts. This was a major request from teams running multi-tenant setups. */}
