Understand the twelve visible Brain/Brand/Business/Persona/Dataset/Document Add actions and the two underlying reader/writer card contracts they configure.
Where: Flowgen → Add → Words & data or Brand & ads
Key ideas
- Two technical contracts: Every Read preset creates DATA_RECORD; every Write preset creates RECORD_WRITE. The preferredTypeId only prefilters the record type and visible task.
- Visible Read presets: Brain Read is unrestricted. Brand, Business Details, Persona, Dataset, and Document Read initialize preferredTypeId to brand, profile, persona, dataset, and generic.
- Visible Write presets: Brain Write is unrestricted. Brand, Business Details, Persona, Dataset, and Document Write use the same five preferred type ids.
- Shared opened surfaces: Both cards open RecordNodePicker; Write can also open CreateRecordFromNodeDialog, and both can route to the Brain record editor.
Steps
- Choose the preset matching the record type, or Brain Read/Write when the type should stay open.
- For Read, bind a record/fields and refresh it; for Write, bind an existing record or configure creation and incoming fields/content.
- Run and inspect the markdown/field output.
- Open the Brain record when a structural edit belongs in the durable item rather than the flow node.
- Choose or create a named record from the card, confirm its field rail, then connect record_in to an exposed mini-app question if the person running the flow should choose the record.
Preset mapping
- Brand → preferredTypeId brand.
- Business Details → profile.
- Persona → persona.
- Dataset → dataset.
- Document → generic.
- Brain Read/Write → no preferred type restriction.
Typed entities and selecting a record on the card
Brain Read now has record_in to choose which record it binds, and the picker is available on the card with inline New actions. Brand includes its design system and separate web/video CSS, HTML, and motion. Product, Character, and Place add typed visual, voice, 3D, HDRI, and audio fields instead of hiding everything in a prose body.
