Hello Flamers,
I’m wondering if anyone here has explored Weavy.ai.
From my first impressions, it seems more aligned with the Flame workflow — intuitive, streamlined, and less complex compared to Comfy.
If you’ve used it, could you share your insights?
The founders Jonathan and Itay are both ex Flame artists / CDs from Gravity post. We are having a lot of fun kicking the tires on this platform!

Yep. I like it. A bit easier to navigate than comfy imho. However, it’s a it like a taxi on tariff 2 at times. But still fun.

You had me at ex flame artist! I’ll give it a try and let u know my thoughts
To make it a fair comparison - keep in mind that with good hardware, ComfyUI is free.
A decent Linux Flame is the equivalent of X-Large Plus on RunComfy, it’s not until you get to the A100 configs that you’re in data center territory.
Now, if it’s a paying job and it has appropriate budget, that shouldn’t matter. Either of the tools can be run in the cloud and the client can pay for it.

good point @allklier - currently i just dont have the bandwidth (or know how) to set up a separate machine or partition, manage a secure environment and all the other stuff that comes with it… not to mention “good hardware” is prob 5-10K? For now a cloud based platform is good while we dip our toes into the water… but yes. overtime continued expense will mandate an on prem solution…

Well exactly. I just put the charges on the job.

Absolutely. Just wanted to highlight as we make comparison. The ability to do on-prem, also for the cases where there may be limits of what can be used in the cloud may matter.
And while not an issue early on, as you spend time learning, you want to bet on the right horse. There’s overlap in the knowledge between these tools, as they share various models and processes. But each is also unique in some ways.
…and just like that Comfy now runs in the cloud as well https://www.runcomfy.com
Ah sorry, I thought I was clear on that. That has been around for some time. So with Comfy you have both choices. With some of the others it’s cloud only.

I really like Weavy. It just works straight away without having to download models from GitHub or make sure you’re combining the right AEV or safetensors or CLIP or whatever the hell all those words are in Comfy.
I set up a shot on Weavy in about 3 minutes and then as an experiment built the same thing in comfy. It took about an hour in comfy despite me having just done the action vfx course and having had no training at all in Weavy. And also the comfy result wasn’t as good because comfy didn’t have the latest Kling model that was in Weavy.
If you can get over the credit model, it’s Weavy all the way for me I think.

I can’t help but imagine a version of Flame that has these tools included.
There’s some attempt at comp nodes inside Weavy but nothing like there is in Flame & Nuke.
Weavy and Comfy are principally UIs utilising the APIs of lots of other existing AI models. Surely this can be pulled inside of batch without any of the worries around training data seeing as they’re 3rd party tools.

Well, I didn’t know about its existence till 30 min ago, but even if it is easy to use, it could come with presets for z-depth, normals, extend videos, inpaint, outpaint, segment… usual stuff that normally takes some time to set up, and with a working and reliable preset, I could use it.
