Web node
Capture a web page on the canvas so connected chats read what the page actually says.
A Web node holds a captured copy of a web page: a screenshot of the top of the page and its text. Connect it to a chat and the AI works from the real article instead of guessing from memory, and the source stays on the canvas next to every conversation that uses it.
Add a Web node
- Press
W(or click Web page node in the toolbar), then click the canvas. - Right-click the canvas and choose Web Node.
- Paste a web address on the canvas. Links to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn posts become a Post node instead.
Pasting an address into the "Enter URL" field starts the capture right away. If you typed it, or the node came from a paste on the canvas, press Enter or click Go. The node shows "Scraping..." while it works.
Tip: Links containing characters like
#,@or parentheses paste as a Text node. Paste them into an empty Web node's field instead.
What gets captured
The finished node shows the screenshot, and its title becomes the site's domain (click the title to rename it). Hover the screenshot and click View content to read the extracted text, with a link that opens the original page in your browser. If no screenshot came back, the text shows in the node itself.
Slashspace's hosted service loads the page, not your browser, and returns the text and screenshot. You need to be signed in, and capturing doesn't draw from the hosted wallet. See Privacy and your data.
Use it as context
Drag from the Web node's right handle to a chat, or type @ in a chat and pick the node. The chat receives the node's title and the extracted text, the same text you see under View content. It doesn't see the screenshot. See Connections and context.
Refresh or change the page
A capture is a snapshot and doesn't update when the page changes. To capture it again, click Open in sidebar in the node's header, then click Refresh in the side view. You can also edit the address there to capture a different page, or click the link to open the original.
When a capture fails
A red message appears in the node and the address stays in the field, so you can fix it and click Go again. Common causes:
- Logins and paywalls. The hosted service can't use your browser's sign-ins, so you get the login page or a preview. Copy the text into a Text node, or save the page as a PDF and add it as a Document node.
- Blocked or script-heavy sites can come back empty or partial. Try an archived or print version of the page.
- Private addresses on your company network or your own computer aren't reachable from Slashspace's servers.
If the node returns to its empty state with no error, the page had nothing Slashspace could read. For other problems, see Troubleshooting and support.
