Overview

The List Block produces structured lists. Good for ranked outputs, checklists, prioritized items, and any content that is naturally list-shaped. Can also do web search when needed. Often used as an intermediate step before downstream synthesis. It bridges creativity and execution: turning unstructured prompts or messy data into organized, actionable lists.

How to Use

  1. Create a List Block — Click on the canvas → Select “List Block”
  2. Generate or Input Items — Type a prompt like “List 5 SaaS companies disrupting healthcare.” Or paste/import items from another block or external file
  3. Connect Downstream Blocks — Drag a connection from the List Block to a Prompt, Chat, or Image Block. These connected blocks will run once for each list item
  4. Run in Bulk — Click “Run All” to execute all connected blocks in parallel. Results are grouped by list item for easy comparison

Bulk Expand List

Take a list block and automatically expand each item into its own block (prompt, memo, image, table, etc.). This is a powerful workflow pattern: generate a list of 10 competitors, then automatically create a research block for each one. Or generate a list of topics, then create a deep research block for each. The expansion is handled by L3 agents and each resulting block connects back to its source list item.

Example Workflows

  • Competitor Research → Generate 10 competitor names → Run Deep Research and Prompt Blocks to summarize each
  • Ad Creative Generation → List 5 product benefits → Generate headlines and visuals for each in parallel
  • Market Validation → List 20 startups in a niche → Run a research + summary pipeline for each
