Hi. I've been coding the new Self-Host Studio Pro (aka Dashboard, see attached image). One of my goals beyond eliminating costly services is to provide a simple inviting interface for non-technical people to use on a daily basis. And, to provide a platform for anyone to launch a SaaS business of their own. All the Studio code, workflows and documentation will be 100% open-source. To achieve that goal, it required a thorough understanding of licensing. Particularly n8n and large language models that generate images. I'll spare you the long boring explanation so to summarize; I have had to look for another model for generating images which has led me to Aura Flow v0.2 and ComfyUI (which can load many different models). My understanding is that both can be used for commercial purposes without special licensing or fees. Again, not advice and do your own research. Studio Pro will support any backend image service and you will get to choose which Image Generation system you want to install and run. I'll update you when Studio is ready to try out. Thanks for your patience and I hope to help you achieve your business and personal goals. Cheers

I'm working on using ClickUp as the UI to kickoff automations like Create Video from a prompt. Early days but it has potential. It's nice because they have a free level, attachments to tasks, custom fields, and great integration with n8n and make.com.

llama.cpp is a standalone server that can run in Self-Host Studio and replace OpenAI for generating stories and image prompts and any other ChatBot/LLM related tasks. Stay tuned for my results and hopefully, a new release of Studio right behind it. Backstory. I use LMStudio for benchmarking and results comparisons of various LLMs and it's a great tool but it only runs as a desktop app. That's too cumbersome and required some human interaction to set it up so, I won't be adding LMStudio into Self-Host Studio. Cheers

Thanks to @Leroy Garas suggestion, I'm building a workflow that doesn't need Airtable. It always annoyed me that since Studio is self-hosted, it has all the assets. Sending them back and forth to an outside entity seemed wasteful. Here's a couple screenshots of how it will work. Lots of tutorials coming so you might want to enable notifications. I should add that the Build Webpage Form branch is only necessary when using a web page to submit the prompts. n8n has a Form node that could easily handle the prompting but it wouldn't have the process update and approval/redo pages that I plan on making.

This video was made using N8N, Image Creator and Video Creator running on my computer. They directly replace Make.com, Leonardo and JSON2Video respectively.I'll update you when the code is released along with the tutorial video. A little heads-up, if you plan on running Studio on your computer, you'll need 16GB+ of RAM and an Nvidia GPU to do image creation and subtitles. If you don't have that kind of setup, I plan to release a docker image that can build a server on runpod.io, with one click, that will dramatically reduce the cost. Cheers
