Welcome to the Sweet Tea Guide
Sweet Tea is for making AI images and video without letting setup take over the whole session. Start with one tool, make one result, save what worked, and come back to it later. If you already use ComfyUI, Sweet Tea can work with it. If you do not, you can still start here.
This guide is for people who want to make something good without turning the process into a second job. The early chapters are written for a clean first image. The later chapters are there when you want more control.
Your First 20 Minutes
If you are brand new, this is the shortest honest path:
- Download and install — Grab the Windows or Linux build from /download. If you want the step-by-step install details, jump to Installation & Setup.
- Set up the engine — Let Sweet Tea handle the setup for you or point it at the setup you already use.
- Open one Pipe — Start with one ready-to-run tool instead of a blank graph. The full walkthrough is in Getting Started.
- Make the first image — Run one prompt, confirm the output lands where you expect, and only then branch into variations or motion work.

How This Guide Is Organized
The guide is still a full atlas, but the first path is intentionally simple:
- Foundations (01-04) get you installed, connected, and to a first result.
- Daily Creation (05-09) covers the tools you use once you are actively making work.
- Organization & Results (10-13) helps you keep good outputs and their context together.
- Models, Dependencies & Reuse (14-17) covers models, missing pieces, and saved prompts you want to come back to.
- Account & Reliability (18-20) handles account linking, plan checks, and troubleshooting.
- Hosted Infrastructure (21) is for the later case where you need more VRAM than your local machine can offer.
- Web Companion (22-26) documents the web platform, publishing, billing, and sync surfaces.
- Reference (27) is a quick lookup chapter.
You do not need to read this front to back. Start with Getting Started, keep the first run simple, and come back to the deeper chapters when you actually need them.
If you get stuck, Data & Troubleshooting is the best structured fallback, and you can always reach us through /contact.
