LoadTXT

ComfyUI lets you load images, models, and Loras as if they were files sitting on a shelf. Text files never got the same treatment in the core app, which is the gap LoadTXT fills: it reads a .txt file off disk and hands its contents to the graph as a STRING. In NodeGPT's world that's genuinely useful - the whole pack is about feeding text into agents - and it's how you'd keep long prompts, briefs, or system context in a file instead of bloating the workflow JSON.

It's about as simple as a node gets. Two inputs, one output, no state.

Inputs and output

• name - the file name, defaulting to log.txt. That default is a hint about its origin story: it looks like the author built it to pull in a log file, then generalized it.
• path - the directory, defaulting to the string path, which is a placeholder. This is the field you actually set: the folder where your text file lives.
• Output: STRING, the file's contents, ready for any string input - a prompt, a task, a system message for an agent.

Notes from real use

Two practical things. First, the defaults are placeholder-y (path is literally the string "path"), so a stock copy of the node fails until you fill it in - don't take the defaults as real paths. Second, the log.txt default plus the pack's terminal-centric output style suggests this node was the author's own debugging convenience before it became a general utility. In the pack's heyday you'd use it to feed a saved prompt file into a Chat node's Task or into an agent's system message.

The pack's install story, briefly, because it applies here:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/xXAdonesXx/NodeGPT

Restart and requirements auto-install. As of this writing the repo returns 404 and the author's GitHub account is gone, so the clone fails and ComfyUI Manager can't install it; the surviving fork (Guizmus/NodeGPT) only has the pack's earliest build, without these AutoGen-era nodes. If you're just looking to load text into ComfyUI in 2026, there are simpler, maintained text-loading nodes in several popular utility packs - this one is the historical version of an idea that stuck around.
