Asset

What Is an Asset?

An Asset is something inside the Project that can perform work, participate in runtime behavior, or actively contribute to moving data and executing logic. In SeekBytes, Asset types include:

• Connector — enables integration and data exchange
• Automation — orchestrates logic, workflows, and decisions

This is an important distinction: a System is something the Project connects to. An Asset is something the Project uses to make work happen.

Why Does This Term Matter?

The term "Asset" provides a useful umbrella for components that are operationally active. This helps the platform treat different active components consistently. An Asset may have:

• Credentials and a Runtime Identity
• Runtime status and configuration
• Logs and activity history
• Policies and access rules
• Optional Agentic Capability

Real-World Example

A Project may include:

• A Salesforce Connector (Asset)
• A QuickBooks Connector (Asset)
• An invoice approval Automation (Asset)

All three are Assets because they are active project components that do operational work — fetching data, sending updates, evaluating rules, and triggering actions.

What an Asset Is Not

An Asset is not the Tenant (that's the organization). An Asset is not the entire Project (that's the workspace). An Asset is not just a passive description or label. It is an active component that can participate in runtime operations.
