The Generate Text node turns a prompt into written text or structured data you can use elsewhere in a workflow—product descriptions, alt text, or even the prompt for a downstream image.

​
What it takes

  • Prompt (required) — your instruction. Connected Text Inputs appear as references.
  • System prompt (optional) — set the voice or rules the model should follow.
  • Reference images (optional) — give the model images to describe or work from, on models that accept them.

​
Structured output

Beyond free text, Generate Text can return structured data. Define the fields you want—names, types (text, number, true/false, lists, or nested objects)—and the model fills them in. This is useful when a later step needs predictable, labeled values rather than a paragraph.

​
Settings

  • Model — the text model that runs (for example, Claude, GPT, or Gemini families). See choosing a model.

​
A common pattern

Use Generate Text to write a detailed image prompt, then connect it to Generate Image—the text output becomes the image’s prompt automatically.
