Overview

The Prompt Block is designed for single AI transformations. Give a set of inputs, get a specific output. The output can be either text or list format. Perfect for structured tasks, data transformation, and when you need a focused AI response without ongoing conversation. We use it frequently to consolidate “data” after finishing a phase of thinking, preparing for the next phase.

​
Key Features

  • List Processing - Specify if you want output as lists for bulk operations (or a single text response)
  • Model Selection - Choose the best model for your specific task
  • Context Sharing - Automatically shares context with connected blocks (both in and out)
  • Web and Doc Search - Specify if you want the prompt block to search through the web and/or all “documents” anywhere on the canvas. Note: This is for broader search - connected blocks will be used as context regardless of these settings
  • Edit in Canvas - Click on the output box to make direct edits to the returned text
  • Re-run Prompt - Click the block, hit the edit button to view and modify the settings used to generate the response

​
How to Use

  1. Create a Prompt Block - Click on canvas → Select “Prompt Block”
  2. Add Your Prompt - Type your instruction or paste your content
  3. Select Model - Choose the most appropriate model for your task
  4. Configure Search - Select web and/or document search (turned off by default)

  7. Connect for Context - Link to other blocks to use their outputs as input

​
List Processing

When output type is set to list, Prompt Block returns a list and automatically offers two action types:
  • Single Item Processing - Hit the ”+” for just one item to pipe it to the next block
  • Bulk Actions - Apply the same next step to every item in the list, or create a process for one item and apply it across all other items
