I've tried at least 4 other tools/SAASs and I'm just not seeing it. I've tried training models in other tools with input images, sketches, and long prompts built from other LLMs and the output is usually really bad if you want something even remotely novel.
replyAside for the terrible name, what does comfyUI add? This[1] all screams AI slop to me.
It's a node based UI. So you can use multiple models in succession, for parts of the image or include a sketch like the person you're responding to said. You can also add stages to manipulate your prompt.
replyBasically it's way beyond just "typing a prompt and pressing enter" you control every step of the way
right, but how is it better than Lovart AI, Freepik, Recraft, or any of the others?
replyYour question is a bit like asking how a word processor is better than a typewriter... they both produce typed text, but otherwise not comparable.
replyI'm looking at their blog[1] and yeah it looks like they're doing literally the exact same thing the other tools I named are doing but with a UI inspired by things like shader pipeline tools in game engines. It isn't clear how it's doing all of the things the grandparent is claiming.

Interesting, have you used both? A typewriter types when the key is pressed, a word processor sends an interrupt though the keyboard into the interrupt device through a bus and from there its 57 different steps until it shows up on the screen.
replyThey’re about as similar as oil and water.
