Installing Agents

Agents are the heart of Selu. Each agent is a self-contained AI assistant that can handle specific tasks — from answering questions to managing your calendar to monitoring your smart home. You install them from the Selu marketplace.

Browsing the marketplace

Open the Selu dashboard and click Marketplace in the sidebar. You’ll see a catalog of available agents organized by category.

Each listing includes:

• Description — What the agent does and what it’s good at.
• Capabilities — The tools and permissions the agent needs to function.
• Ratings — Feedback from other Selu users.
• Version history — A changelog so you know what’s changed.

Installing an agent

1. Find an agent you’d like to try and click Install.
2. Review the capabilities the agent is requesting. These are the tools and resources it needs — things like web access, file reading, or API calls.
3. Approve the capabilities you’re comfortable with. You can always change these later under Tool Policies.
4. Click Confirm to begin installation.

Installation usually takes under a minute, depending on the agent’s size and your internet speed.

What happens during installation

Download

The agent package is downloaded from the marketplace. This includes the agent definition and any capability images it needs.

Registration

The agent is registered with Selu and its capabilities and tools become available.

Configuration

Default settings are applied. You can customize the agent’s behavior from its settings page after installation.

Health check

Selu verifies the agent is loaded and ready before marking it as available.

Managing installed agents

Go to the Agents page to see everything you’ve installed. From here you can:

• Update to a newer version when one is available.
• Configure agent-specific settings like model preference or temperature.
• Uninstall to remove the agent entirely.
