# Text prompt

> Collect a text string from the user to feed downstream nodes.

The Text Prompt node collects a text string. In Studio you enter the text directly; in App mode it becomes a form input field.

## When to use

* Providing a creative brief
* Setting a product description
* Configuring instructions for AI nodes

Common patterns: `text_prompt → generate_image`, `text_prompt → generate_text`.
