## The four node types
| Node | Use it when you want to… |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Text** | Write a brief, prompt, note, or LLM-generated text |
| **Image** | Upload, generate, compare, or reuse a still image |
| **Video** | Upload, generate, edit, extend, or reuse a video clip |
| **Audio** | Upload, generate, play, or reuse music and audio |
## Add a node or media file
