AMAZING FREE Midjourney COMPETITOR With Stable Diffusion! BlueWillow Is HERE!

Key Takeaways

wouldn't it be nice if mid Journey had a competitor that you could also use from Discord but for absolutely free well now you can and its name is Blue Willow now this video is sponsored by Blue Willow but don't worry because not only this is a free service but also they told me that I could say anything I want in this review so this will be a completely important review and you know me if there is something bad to say uh yeah I will say it that being said let's begin so then what is Blue Willow how does it work and should you use it well Blue Willow is a text to image AI bot that works on Discord exactly like me Journey but the difference is that compared to me Journey Blue Willow is not exactly it takes to AI model instead it's more like an aggregator of different text to image AI models and the way Blue Willow works is that it will analyze the user's prompt and then automatically determine what is the best model to use for to generate the best images they told me that depending on the prompt of the user they could use daily or stable diffusion models so the best comparison that I could give is that blue willow is kinda like Google flights in the sense that for example Google flights do not own the flight companies they just show you the best prices for your destination and blue willow is exactly that they take a user's prompt analyze it and then automatically choose the best model for that prompt and then generate pictures with that model now sometimes they might even use multiple models for one signal prompt so you might have three images made by one model and another one made by another this one you have way more choices when it comes to the final results now obviously this is currently a work in progress this is a fairly new company so this will obviously get better with time so if right now you don't get the results that you want very soon the quality of the generation will definitely get better now a problem for this review is that I'm supposed to give you my opinion on on your final results to tell you if this is good or not but at the same time since most of the images were not technically made by Blue Willow but by other stable diffusion models if I were to criticize the final results the only thing that I would be doing is really just criticize the stable diffusion model used meaning that if you get bad results it's not 100 blue Willow's fault because yes the matter automatically chosen the wrong AI model but the quality of the image just depends on the model itself so this would just be like criticizing a precise stable diffusion model which is why also so many people are doing the mistake of taking a mid Journey prompt and using this in Blue Willow since the majority of the models used by Blue Willow are stable diffusion models you should not use a mid Journey prompting style to generate images with stable diffusion and although you can have very interesting results and as I said it will get better and easier with time which is why as of right now if you want to have the best results you should use a stable diffusion prompting style now of course over time I think their goal is to also make it easier and faster for everyone to use to be a real competitor of mid Journey but again since it's a fairly new technology there is still a long way to go before it's perfect so then let's answer the question is it good is it better than me Journey well yeah it's good I mean it's stable diffusion so it's not bad but obviously this is not as good as me Journey right now mid Journey has a very particular style that you cannot find on stable diffusion models currently but at the same time this is also a paid model which is between 10 and 60 dollars a month Blue Willow on the other hand is completely free at least as of right now and if you already used me Journey before it works the exact same way with the exact same interface so you will not be lost so if you want to use blue willow all you have to do is just click the link in the description down below you need a free Discord account and once you arrive on the Discord server on the left right here if you scroll down you're gonna see a bunch of rookies Channel and if you select one you're gonna see a bunch of images generated by the other users so you can easily see what other people are generating and you can also take their own prompt from your own inspiration and if you want to generate your own images you're gonna come here in message type slash and then select imagine and then you're gonna have here a separate prompt box and then in that little separate prompt box you're gonna type your own prompt and then once you're happy with the prompt you can press enter and as you can see right now it says great prompt we're working on it stay tuned for fun images and usually in only a few seconds Blue Willow should generate 4 images based on your prompt and there you go and this is the final results pretty quickly you have generated 4 images with Blue Willow and all of that for absolutely free and that's pretty cool so as I said when way it works is that blue willow is going to analyze your prompt and depending on the tags that you chose it's gonna automatically select the best model for that prompt then it's gonna take that model and then generate images with that model and then exactly like me Journey you're gonna see here a very similar interface you're gonna see here U1 U2 u3 u4 V1 V2 V3 V4 and then a refresh button and what this means is that the U stands for upscale so if you want to upscale one of these images you can press one of these button right here so if you want to upscale for example image number two you're gonna press on U2 if you want to upscale image number four you're gonna press on u4 the v stands for variation if you want to create a variation of a certain image you can press on one of those V buttons so if you want to create a variation of image Number One You're Gonna press on V1 and so on and so on and the refresh button is basically to redo this entire Generation all over again Anna so as you can see right here we have upscaled image number two a scaled image number four and they did that very very quickly actually in only a few seconds and here we have generated four variation of image number one and they look absolutely gorgeous by the way so they really chose a nice model for this prompt now in terms of features and commands it's pretty basic right now so one thing that you have are negative prompts so if you write your problem right here and you want to add negative prompts all you have to do is just type dash dash no and then you can start typing your negative prompts so let's see for the negative prompts and don't want ugly duplicate auto frame extra fingers mutated hands etc etc I'm gonna have to put all these tags after the dash dash no in the second command that you can use exactly like me journey is that you can choose the ratio of your image so for example if you want a 2x3 image exactly like me Journey you're gonna type Dash Dash a r space 2 colon 3 and this will generate four two by three images exactly like me journey and then you can press enter and these are the final results definitely looks like Christina Hendricks so we're not using the 2.0 or the 2.1 model here and some of the images look definitely really really good now I definitely wish that they used some Iris fix for this image so maybe this is an option that they could add later down the road but I actually really like the fourth image it's actually pretty good and as I said here it has generated four two by three images but if you want the opposite and generate three by two images all you have to do is just type dash dash AR3 colon 2 instead of two column three and that's pretty cool because that means that you're not stuck creating Square images you can create vertical and horizontal images now the second feature that they have exactly like me journey is that they have a basic image to image of so for this all you have to do is just click on this button right here and click on upload a file select the image you want click open and then press enter this image will then appear right here and then to use it you're gonna click on it then right click and click on copy image link then in the message box you're gonna type slash imagine and then copy and paste the image in url and then you're gonna write your prompt so in my case I simply want a portrait of a black bug in a cartoon modern Disney style and then press enter and this is the final results so as you can see they have taken information from the image that I posted right here and then in generating these four images and that's pretty cool now obviously you might have noticed since the beginning of this video you might have noticed that everything is done for you meaning that if you are an art core professional stable diffusion user Blue Willow might not be for you since you don't exactly have the perfect control over the final result you might get really cool images images that you not expect to get but for an expert stable diffusion user this might not be enough and I absolutely understand that which is why I think that blue willow is definitely more targeted toward complete beginners if for example you have a friend that never used stable diffusion before that don't want to install stable diffusion on his own computer because it's too complicated or it takes too much time and doesn't have enough money to pay for a mid Journey Subscription Service well then Blue Willow is actually pretty easy to recommend it is a free service that runs in Discord meaning that you can use it anywhere you want from any platform that you want as long as you have an internet connection so for a complete beginner Blue Willow is actually a no-brainer and this is just the beginning this technology will become better and better over time meaning that very soon you might get images that are very similar to what you can find on me Journey now obviously in this service will not stay free forever I mean it's a company they need to make money money but as of right now Blue Willow is actually pretty easy to recommend I mean it's difficult to do better than free but also to make the technology better they actually need your help as right now Blue Willow is extremely interested in growing its Community because the more people use their service the more feedback they get and the faster they can evolve their technology and also as I said in the beginning of the video their team is actually super cool and has been super nice and super open Super transparent and I think that we should definitely encourage this type of company so if you are interested in trying out Blue Willow and give your feedback on this service and then join their Discord server you really have nothing to lose just try it out give your opinion give your feedback and explain to them how they can make this service better this way everybody wins except of course the people who don't want to use sticks to image AIS just saying and also I think it's pretty cool that we have finally something that resembles a mid-journey rival a potential competitor to a company that doesn't have any real competition and that's always a big win for customers now when it comes to the paid features that they plan to release in the future the Blue Willow team basically told me that they plan to allow users to add the bot to a private messaging section this way if people don't want to use a public room they will be able to pay a small fee and use the bot privately and also if someone in the future want to add the bot to a Discord server this will also be a paid feature but as of right now Blue Willow is completely free so definitely try it out right now while you can and I'm not getting paid to say that I really encourage you to test it out to make the technology better and better and there we have it folks now we have finally a potential competitor to Mid journey and we should definitely encourage that especially when it's free right now so
