+### Agent Role: Screenshot Node
+
+This node defines a screenshot-capture role for a Borealis Agent.
+
+**How It Works**
+- The region (X, Y, W, H) is sent to the Agent for real-time screenshot capture.
+- The interval determines how often the Agent captures and pushes new images.
+- Optionally, an overlay with a label can be displayed on the Agent's screen for visual feedback.
+- The captured screenshot (as a base64 PNG) is available to downstream nodes.
+- Use the share button to copy a live viewing URL for the screenshot stream.
+
+**Configuration**
+- All fields are edited via the right sidebar.
+- Coordinates update live if region is changed from the Agent.
+
+**Warning**
+- Changing region from the Agent UI will update this node's coordinates.
+- Do not remove the bi-directional region write-back: if the region moves, this node updates immediately.
+
+**Example Use Cases**
+- Automated visual QA (comparing regions of apps)
+- OCR on live application windows
+- Remote monitoring dashboards

+### Borealis Agent Node
+
+This node represents an available Borealis Agent (Python client) you can control from your workflow.
+
+#### Features
+- **Select** an agent from the list of online agents.
+- **Connect/Disconnect** from the agent at any time.
+- **Attach roles** (by connecting "Agent Role" nodes to this node's output handle) to assign behaviors dynamically.
+- **Live status** shows if the agent is available, connected, or offline.
+
+#### How to Use
+1. **Drag in a Borealis Agent node.**
+2. **Pick an agent** from the dropdown list (auto-populates from backend).
+3. **Click "Connect to Agent"** to provision it for the workflow.
+4. **Attach Agent Role Nodes** (e.g., Screenshot, Macro Keypress) to the "provisioner" output handle to define what the agent should do.
+5. Agent will automatically update its roles as you change connected Role Nodes.
+
+#### Output Handle
+- "provisioner" (bottom): Connect Agent Role nodes here.
+
+#### Good to Know
+- If an agent disconnects or goes offline, its status will show "Reconnecting..." until it returns.
+- Node config can be edited in the right sidebar.
+- **Roles update LIVE**: Any time you change attached roles, the agent gets updated instantly.

+### Regex Replace Node
+
+**Purpose:**  
+Perform flexible find-and-replace on strings using JavaScript-style regular expressions.
+
+#### Typical Use Cases
+- Clean up text, numbers, or IDs in a data stream
+- Mask or redact sensitive info (emails, credit cards, etc)
+- Extract tokens, words, or reformat content
+
+#### Configuration (see "Config" tab):
+- **Regex Pattern**: The search pattern (supports capture groups)
+- **Replacement**: The replacement string. You can use \`$1, $2\` for capture groups.
+- **Regex Flags**: Default \`g\` (global). Add \`i\` (case-insensitive), \`m\` (multiline), etc.
+- **Enable Replacement**: On/Off toggle (for easy debugging)
+
+#### Behavior
+- Upstream value is live-updated.
+- When enabled, node applies the regex and emits the result downstream.
+- Shows both input and output in the sidebar for debugging.
+- If the regex is invalid, error is displayed as output.
+
+#### Output
+- Emits the transformed string to all downstream nodes.
+- Updates in real time at the global Borealis update rate.
+
+#### Example
+Pattern: \`(\\d+)\`  
+Replacement: \`[number:$1]\`  
+Input: \`abc 123 def 456\`  
+Output: \`abc [number:123] def [number:456]\`
+
+---
+**Tips:**  
+- Use double backslashes (\\) in patterns when needed (e.g. \`\\\\d+\`).
+- Flags can be any combination (e.g. \`gi\`).
