More About This Course

Basic ComfyUI is a beginner-friendly, hands-on introduction designed to help you understand ComfyUI without ever feeling overwhelmed.

Across six weeks, you'll learn how to install ComfyUI, navigate the interface, and build your first text-to-image workflows: slowly, clearly, and step by step.

You'll develop a solid understanding of models, nodes, and workflow logic, giving you the confidence to create your own images and videos with intention. This course is built for true beginners, especially anyone who has opened Comfy once, got confused, or avoided it because it looked "too technical."

No experience required, no technical background needed.

We go slow, we go clear, and we go together.
