ComfyUI: Load a text-to-image workflow and download missing models

Demo summary
The user demonstrates how to load a default text-to-image template in ComfyUI and use the 'show missing models' feature to download required AI checkpoints.
Step-by-step
- Select the Text to Image option from the getting started section
- Click on Show missing models in the top right-hand corner
- Review the required model list provided by ComfyUI
- Click on Download all to install the necessary checkpoints
