Node Types

Every node on the Canvas: inputs, generators, tools, and helpers.

WHEN TO USE
Reference this page when you are not sure which node does what.
PAIRS WELL WITH
Canvas Basics (how boards work), Your First Workflow (putting nodes together).
💡 Tool nodes run the same versioned operations as the standalone Tools pages — same quality, same pricing.

The four add node buttons on the left toolbar group everything you can place on a board.

Input nodes

Carry your material into workflows: Prompt text, Image, Video, Audio, Asset reference (Cast/Set/Prop entities), Canvas reference (another board's content), and Insert from output (reuse an earlier generation).

Generator nodes

The paid AI steps: Generate idea text, Generate image, Generate video, Generate audio, plus advanced image/video variants with extra controls. Each generator shows its model, options, and exact point cost on the node.
