How it works

Ask Sim. Rankbox does the research.

Rankbox runs as an MCP server, the open standard Sim uses to call outside tools. You connect it once.

Every Monday, get the AI search questions for our five core topics.
01
You ask Sim
In plain words, the way you already work. No commands to learn.
generate_ai_questions(“CRM for startups”)
02
Sim calls Rankbox
It picks the right Rankbox tool and sends only what the tool needs.
- What's the best CRM for a seed-stage startup?
- HubSpot vs Pipedrive for startups?
03
The research comes back
Sim works with it right away: plans, writes, or builds from it.
