Start halfway, not from an empty canvas

A template is a working pipeline with the models, the connections and the settings already chosen.

The blank canvas is the hard part
Knowing what you want is not the same as knowing which four blocks produce it. A template removes that gap: it opens as a pipeline that already runs, and you change the prompt and the reference.
Everything in it is yours to change, including which model each step uses. It is a starting point, not a black box.
Read it before you run it
Open one and follow the connections once. Which node feeds which, where the reference goes in, which step costs the most. Five minutes there is what turns a template into something you can adapt instead of something you rerun.
Every template carries a note on the canvas saying what it does and why it is shaped that way.
The price of a template is the sum of its steps, and the steps are not equal. A pipeline with four video generators in it is not four times an image; it is a different order of magnitude.
Or ask for one
The assistant can open a template for you if you describe the job in plain language. It says which one it picked and why, and you can open it on the canvas before anything runs.
