Creatos Guide

Browser Nodes

Browse pages inside Creatos and extract readable content

Browser nodes let you open and navigate web pages directly on the canvas.

Desktop App

Browser nodes are designed for the Creatos desktop app experience.

What You Can Do

  • Open URLs without leaving your flow
  • Type a search query and Creatos opens a Google results page
  • Navigate back/forward and refresh pages
  • Capture page text content for downstream AI use
  • Connect browser output to AI nodes

Basic Workflow

  1. Add a Browser node
  2. Enter a URL or search query in the address bar
  3. Load the target page
  4. Use Extract Content to pull readable page text into the node
  5. Connect the browser node to an AI node

What extraction gives you

Extract Content pulls readable text from the page. It is for capturing context, not preserving the full visual layout of the site.

When to Use Browser Nodes Instead of Content Nodes

Use a browser node when you want to:

  • inspect a live page before deciding what to keep
  • search multiple pages without leaving the canvas
  • extract page text after checking the source manually

Use a content node when you already know what material you want to keep.

Tips

  • Rename the node to meaningful labels like Competitor Pricing or Launch Post
  • Keep one browser node per research thread to organize context
  • Combine browser and content nodes when you need both live pages and curated notes
