Sela Node Agent Beta Tester Announcement

Validating the Transition from Nodes to AI Agents

Sela is evolving beyond a node-centric operating model toward a structure where
AI Agents actively run and operate on top of nodes.

This beta test represents the first public step in validating
how this transition works in real-world environments,
and whether AI Agents can function as practical execution units that contribute to real value creation.


What is this beta test?

The beta focuses on an open-source AI Agent that runs natively within the Sela Node environment.

Beta testers will run the agent directly on their own active Sela Nodes and provide feedback based on real usage.
The evaluation will focus on the following areas:

Key evaluation areas

  • Agent execution stability

  • Success and failure patterns in real web environments

  • Node–agent connectivity and reliability

  • Execution speed and resource usage

  • UI / UX usability

This is not a demo or simulation.
All testing takes place on real nodes, interacting with real web environments.


Participation requirements

  • macOS required
    (The current beta version can only be developed and executed on macOS)


Beta test schedule

  • Beta period:
    January 12, 2026 – January 30, 2026

All feedback collected during the beta period will be
directly reflected in the official launch version.


What can the Sela Agent do?

The Sela Agent operates under a delegated access model.
Once a user explicitly grants permission, the agent can use the browser to perform small execution tasks across platforms.

Examples include:

  • Clicking and navigating web pages

  • Filling out forms and entering data

  • Posting content and handling repetitive tasks

  • Collecting, assembling, and organizing outputs

These actions can be executed as connected workflows, rather than isolated steps.

Through this structure, the Sela Agent goes beyond a response-based AI.
It acts as an execution layer, taking over steps that previously required direct human involvement and helping reduce time, attention, and repetitive manual effort.

This beta test therefore also serves as a validation of whether
AI Agents can operate in real environments as tools for sustained value creation,
by executing workflows and producing tangible outcomes.

All actions occur strictly within the permissions granted by the user,
and execution always takes place on the user’s own Sela Node.


How is delegated access controlled?

Delegated access follows these core principles:

  • The agent uses only the permissions explicitly granted by the user

  • All actions are executed directly on the user’s node

  • Permissions can be restricted or revoked at any time

The agent is not designed to operate outside of user control.


Rewards

  • Sela Network Discord beta tester role

This beta test is not a promotional event.
It is an experimental program that allows participants to directly take part in Sela’s structural transition.


Who is this for?

  • Users who are already operating a Sela Node

  • Those interested in testing AI Agents in real environments

  • Developers and operators interested in automation, agents, and infrastructure

  • Anyone who wants to observe the challenges that arise when AI performs real-world actions

Developer experience is not required.
What matters most is the willingness to run the agent and provide meaningful feedback.

Q. Can I participate if I’m not a developer?
A. Yes. Observations around usability and execution behavior are a key part of this beta.
