This flow consists of two blocks:

  <Card title="Chat Block" icon="comments">
    Processes the text using AI
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Callout type="info">
  When you run the flow, the text block sends its content to the chat block. The chat block then uses AI to process this text and generate a response.
</Callout>

## Experimenting with the Flow

To modify a block's settings, click the edit gear icon in the top right corner of the block.

<Accordion title="Try These Experiments">
  <AccordionItem title="Change the Question">
    1. Edit the text block
    2. Type a new question like "What's the difference between a NDA and a MNDA?"
    3. Run the flow again
    4. Observe how the chat block responds with new information
  </AccordionItem>

  <AccordionItem title="Adjust Max Tokens">
    1. Edit the chat block
    2. Change the max tokens to 256
    3. Run the flow again
    4. Notice how the response is shorter
  </AccordionItem>

  <AccordionItem title="Modify Temperature">
    1. Edit the chat block
    2. Set the temperature to 1
    3. Run the flow again
    4. Observe how the responses become more varied
  </AccordionItem>
</Accordion>

By experimenting with these settings, you can see how different parameters affect the AI's responses in your workflow.
