# Text

Reusable prompts, stories, instructions, or descriptions of an image.

**Use it for:** Reusable prompts, stories, instructions, or descriptions of an image.

**What it can do:** Hold text you write yourself, ask AI to draft text, or turn
one connected image into a written description/prompt. Text presets also help
prepare tasks such as a three-view character sheet.

**Inputs:** Other text as context; at most one image as a visual reference.
Writing manual text does not require an AI request. AI writing uses the
displayed text allowance and any applicable consent controls.

**Output:** Text. Connect it to Image, Image (No Ref), Video, Audio, Script,
Storyboard, Motion Video, or another Text node as appropriate.

**Try it:** Write the courier prompt from [Your first workflow](/docs/canvas),
then connect Text to Image. Select Image to see the connected prompt context.

**Remember:** An AI writing instruction and the resulting text are different.
Downstream nodes use the text output. Review it and use **Edit text** to correct
generated content before generating media.
