Course overview

From Setup to Advanced AI Workflows

This 12-week hands-on course will teach you how to set up, build, and optimize AI workflows in ComfyUI—from installation to advanced automation. You’ll learn how to install and run ComfyUI on Windows, Mac, and cloud environments, understand the core logic behind workflows, and apply AI tools to images and videos.


The course covers everything from basic image generation to workflow automation, commercial AI applications, and technical optimization. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how nodes connect, why certain workflows work better than others, and how to scale AI processes efficiently.


You’ll be guided by a team of 8 mentors, each bringing deep expertise from across the AI, creative, and tech industries. From foundational sessions with Nejc Sušec and Luka Tisler, to advanced technical deep dives with experts like Milan Kastenmueller and Mauricio Tonon, you’ll gain hands-on insight into real-world AI workflows. Maged Elbanna will walk you through structured ComfyUI techniques, Tarkan Sarim will teach model training and stylized control, and Douglas McGinness III will show how to integrate ComfyUI into production pipelines. Finally, Aman Sharma will cover how to turn your workflows into deployable tools using APIs.


By the end, you’ll have the technical skills, hands-on experience, and projects to confidently deploy AI workflows for business, automation, and creative industries.
