3. Add an AI Text Generator Block

1. Click the "Blocks" button on the left sidebar.

2. In the search bar, type AI Text Generator.
3. Drag the block into the canvas.

---

4. Select an AI/ML API Model

Click the AI Text Generator block to configure it.

In the LLM Model dropdown, select one of the supported models from AI/ML API:

Model ID	Speed	Reasoning Quality	Best For
Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct-Turbo	Medium	High	Text-based tasks
nvidia/llama-3.1-nemotron-70b-instruct	Medium	High	Analytics and reasoning
meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo	Low	Very High	Complex multi-step tasks
meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-Turbo	Low	Very High	Deep reasoning
meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Turbo	High	Medium	Fast responses

✅ These models are available via OpenAI-compatible API from AI/ML API

5. Configure the Prompt and API Key

Inside the AI Text Generator block:

1. Enter your prompt text in the Prompt field.
2. Enter your AI/ML API Key in the designated field.

🔐 You can get your key from: https://aimlapi.com/app/keys/

6. Save Your Agent

Click the “Save” button at the top-right of the builder interface:

1. Give your agent a name (e.g., aimlapi_test_agent).
2. Click “Save Agent” to confirm.

💡 Saving allows reuse, scheduling, and chaining in larger workflows.

---

7. Run Your Agent

From the workspace:

1. Press “Run” next to your saved agent.
2. The request will be sent to the selected AI/ML API model.

---

8. View the Output

1. Scroll to the AI Text Generator block.
2. Check the Output panel below it.
3. You can copy, export, or pass the result to further blocks.

---

🔄 Expand Your Agent

Now that AI/ML API is connected, expand your workflow by chaining additional blocks:

• 🔧 Tools – fetch URLs, call APIs, scrape data
• 🧠 Memory – retain context across interactions
• ⚙️ Actions / Chains – create full pipelines
