ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Serving toolkit

ComfyUI Serving toolkit Introduction

Welcome to the ComfyUI-Serving-Toolkit! This extension is designed to make it easier for you to serve image generation workflows on platforms like Discord and other platforms (coming soon). Whether you're an AI artist looking to create image generation bots or simply want to streamline your workflow, this toolkit simplifies the process, making it more accessible and user-friendly.

With ComfyUI-Serving-Toolkit, you can serve your ComfyUI workflows directly from your computer, ensuring that your secrets remain safe and secure. The toolkit supports both image and video generation, allowing you to create dynamic content effortlessly.

How ComfyUI Serving toolkit Works

The ComfyUI-Serving-Toolkit operates by integrating with your existing ComfyUI workflows and enabling them to be served on platforms like Discord or through WebSockets. Here's a simple analogy to help you understand:

Imagine you have a talented artist (ComfyUI) who can create beautiful images based on your descriptions (prompts). The ComfyUI-Serving-Toolkit acts as a messenger that takes your requests (prompts) and delivers them to the artist. Once the artist finishes the artwork, the messenger brings it back to you. This way, you can interact with the artist through platforms like Discord without needing to be in the same room.

Basic Principles:

1. Input Handling: The toolkit receives prompts and arguments from users.
2. Processing: It processes these inputs using your ComfyUI workflows.
3. Output Delivery: The generated images or videos are sent back to the user.

• Customizable Arguments: Add arguments with default values, allowing users to customize their requests.

Secure and Local Serving

• Serve from Your Computer: Your workflows are served directly from your computer, ensuring that your secrets remain safe and are not embedded in the images.
