# Llama

### 1. The "Ready-to-Use" AI (Overview)

Zero setup, zero API keys. Just drag, drop, and start prompting using Diaflow's built-in AI credits.

Llama’s superpower is flexible reasoning with optional vision on selected models. It is a strong fit when you want one AI node for text-heavy work, conversation-style workflows, and image analysis in the same builder.

### 2. How to Add the Node

Click the **+** button on your canvas, search for **Llama**, and click to add it to your workflow.

### 3. What can you automate? (The "Wow" Use Cases)

#### 1. **The Massive Document Analyzer:**

Send long reports, contracts, proposals, or knowledge-base text into Llama and turn them into fast summaries, risks, and recommended next steps.

#### 2. **The Multimodal Scanner:**

Pass in an image link for a receipt, invoice, product photo, or screenshot and let Llama pull out the details your team needs.

#### 3. **The Content/Data Factory:**

Turn messy notes, form submissions, or research text into structured business content, polished copy, or cleaner downstream data.

### 4. Step-by-Step: Configuration & Smart Data Injection

#### 1. **Choose your Brain (Model):**

Select your model from the dropdown.

Use smaller models like **1B**, **3B**, or **8B** for faster, lighter tasks. Use larger models like **70B**, **90B**, **Maverick**, or **Scout** for deeper reasoning and more demanding work.

For image tasks, choose a vision-capable model such as **Llama 4 Maverick**, **Llama 4 Scout**, or a **Llama 3.2 Vision** model.

#### 2. **Write the Prompt & Inject Data:**

The easiest way to add live workflow data is to type `@` on your keyboard. Diaflow opens a visual dropdown so you can pick values from earlier steps, like a customer name, a form response, or text from another node.

Typing `{{` also works perfectly if you prefer the classic bracket syntax.

#### 3. **Attach Media (If applicable):**

If you want Llama to analyze an image, add the image link in the image field. This is useful for receipts, screenshots, product images, and scanned visuals.

### 5. The Output: Seeing Your Results

This node returns the generated result so you can pass it straight into the next step. Use `{{node_name.data}}` in your next step, like Gmail or Google Sheets, to pass the generated text or media forward.

You will also see `input_token` and `output_token`. Since Diaflow handles the billing, these tokens act as a meter so you can track how many credits your workflow is consuming.

The node also returns the model used and the final resolved prompt, which helps you review what ran.

### 6. Golden Rules & Guardrails (CRITICAL PRO-TIPS)

#### **File/Image Limits:**

Only image input is supported in this node for multimodal analysis.

Keep these rules in mind:

* only the **first image** in a request is processed
* additional images are ignored
* supported image formats are `jpeg`, `png`, `gif`, and `webp`
* if the image is too large, the run can fail and you may need a smaller image

If image analysis matters, test with one clear image first.

#### **The System Prompt Trap:**

The separate system instruction field is currently not applied in this node. For guaranteed results with advanced models, put your Persona/System instructions directly into the main Prompt box.

#### **Auto-Streaming:**

The AI will think quietly and return the full complete answer at once.

#### More pro-tips

* Not every Llama model supports images. Choose a vision-capable model for image tasks.
* Conversation memory is available in this node, so Llama can keep context across turns when memory is enabled.
* Caching is available if you repeat the same request often and want faster reuse.
* If you see **Invalid Model**, recheck the model you selected.
* If you see **Image is too large**, reduce the image size and try again.
* Use the active **Llama** node for new workflows, not the legacy version.
