Problem:
The current functionality lacks a straightforward way to nest a group of nodes under a new parent, which is essential for organizing complex projects or documents hierarchically. Manually creating a new parent node and moving each item disrupts workflow.

Why It's a Problem:
I often work with large sets of nodes that need hierarchical organization. The absence of a command to group nodes under a new parent hampers efficiency. Additionally, the ability to name the new parent node based on a custom AI prompt would enhance productivity by providing context-specific summaries or action-oriented statements.

Proposed Solution:
Develop a "Nest Under New Parent" command:

• ​1. Highlight Nodes: User selects nodes to group.
• ​2. Activate Command: User activates "Nest Under New Parent"
• ​3. Custom AI Prompt: User inputs a custom AI prompt (e.g., "summarize these into a single sentence").
• ​4. AI Processing: System generates a summary or action-oriented statement.
• ​5. Create Parent Node: New parent node is created with the generated text as its name.
• ​6. Nest Nodes: Selected nodes are nested under the new parent node.
  This feature would streamline organizing and summarizing information, making it easier to manage complex data sets and enhancing workflow efficiency.
