Creative Story Ideas

Overview

A beginner-friendly template demonstrating core NodeTool concepts: inputs, templates, LLM agents, streaming, and outputs. Generate creative story ideas based on your preferences.

This workflow demonstrates the core concepts of NodeTool:

📥 INPUTS (Green nodes on left)

• Three StringInput nodes let you customize the story

• Try changing Genre, Character, or Setting values

📝 TEMPLATE FORMATTING

• The constant template defines the prompt structure

• FormatText node combines inputs with

• Dynamic properties map inputs to template variables

🤖 AI GENERATION

• ListGenerator streams multiple story ideas

• Each idea appears one at a time (iteration/streaming)

• Downstream nodes process each item automatically

👁️ OUTPUT & PREVIEW

• Preview nodes display intermediate and final results

• Top preview shows the formatted prompt

• Bottom preview shows all generated story ideas

🎯 KEY LEARNING POINTS:

Data flows left-to-right through connected nodesEdges connect outputs (right) to inputs (left)Templates use for dynamic contentStreaming nodes emit multiple values over timePreview nodes help debug and visualize data

💡 TRY THIS:

• Click the input nodes and change their values

• Run the workflow and watch results appear

• Modify the template to add more instructions

• Try connecting nodes in different ways
