Copy text from anywhere (web pages, documents, emails, etc.) and paste it directly onto the canvas using Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+V (Windows).
Ryzome automatically detects and preserves:
HTML formatting from web pages
Rich text from documents
Code blocks with syntax highlighting
Tables and structured data
Links and references
Click anywhere on the canvas to create a new node and start typing directly.
Ryzome intelligently processes pasted content:
HTML to Markdown: Web content is converted to clean markdown
Formatting preservation: Bold, italic, headers, and lists are maintained
Link extraction: URLs become clickable links
Structure detection: Tables and code blocks are properly formatted
Clean output: Unnecessary styling and clutter are removed
Text nodes in Ryzome offer:
Live markdown rendering - See formatted output as you type
Syntax highlighting - Code blocks are automatically highlighted
Auto-linking - URLs become clickable links
Rich formatting - Full markdown support including tables and lists
Expandable content - Nodes grow to accommodate your content
Text nodes are fundamental building blocks for AI workflows. When connected to other nodes, they provide:
Rich context - Detailed information for AI to reference
Structured input - Headers and formatting help AI understand content hierarchy
Source material - Base content for AI to expand, summarize, or transform
Reference points - Specific facts and data for AI to build upon
Paste an article or research excerpt into a node
Create a new node and connect it to the text node
Use the prompt hat to ask: “What are the key insights from this content?”
The AI will analyze the text and generate focused insights
Research workflow: Paste multiple related articles or excerpts into separate nodes, then connect them all to an analysis node for comprehensive synthesis.
Clean source material: Well-formatted source text produces better results
Logical structure: Use headers and lists to organize information
Focused content: Keep each node focused on a specific topic or idea
Meaningful connections: Connect related text nodes to build comprehensive context
Edit after pasting: Clean up any formatting issues after pasting
Text nodes work great with content from:
Web articles - News, blog posts, research articles
Documents - Word docs, Google Docs, PDFs (copy/paste)
Emails - Important correspondence and information
Notes - Meeting notes, research notes, personal thoughts
Code - Programming code with syntax highlighting
Data - CSV, JSON, and structured information
Markdown cheatsheet: Use the Writing in a Node guide for complete markdown formatting reference.
Use bold and italic for emphasis
Create headers with #, ##, ###
Make lists with - or 1.
Add code with backticks: code
Create tables with | separators
Add links with text format
Text nodes form the foundation of most Ryzome workflows, serving as both input material and generated output that can be further refined and connected.
