Utility Node Overview

The Utility category contains workflow helper nodes that enhance organization, visualization, and documentation within your AICRON canvas. Unlike Text, Image, Video, and Sound nodes that leverage AI for content generation, Utility nodes provide supporting functions that make your creative process more efficient and manageable. Currently offering 5 essential nodes with more utilities planned for future releases.

Viewer

Viewer node displays the output of any connected node directly on your canvas. Use it to monitor and preview your generated images, videos, or audio at any stage of your workflow without leaving the canvas or interrupting your creative process.

Group

Group node bundles multiple nodes together into a single organized unit. Move, duplicate, or delete all grouped nodes at once to manage your canvas efficiently. Each group displays a customizable label and background color, making it easy to visually distinguish different sections of your workflow at a glance.

Comment

Comment node adds text annotations directly onto your canvas with full Markdown support. Format your notes with headings, bold text, lists, and more to document your workflow logic, leave instructions for collaborators, or mark important sections of your project.

Sticker

Sticker node places image stickers anywhere on your canvas as a pure design element. Upload your own JPG, PNG, or GIF files to use as visual markers or decorative accents. Stickers have no connection handles and exist independently on the canvas, purely for visual organization and personalization of your workspace.

Reel

Reel node embeds video clips directly onto your canvas as a standalone design element. Upload video reels to build mood boards, document motion references, or enrich your creative workspace with visual inspiration. Reels have no connection handles and exist independently on the canvas, purely for visual reference and creative context.
