What are the top FREE ai tools you've used?

[Ellie_28]

Can you suggest some for me to use?

[WhatUQuant]

Not sure if this counts but I use AI mostly for small tasks.

Grammarly AI suggestions (free version)
Notion AI (limited but useful)
Perplexity again, seems everyone is using it now

I think the biggest value is saving time on boring stuff rather than anything advanced.

Current stack:

ChatGPT for general use
Leonardo AI for images
ElevenLabs free tier for voice stuff

Honestly the limitations are annoying but still usable if you're not doing heavy work.

[HitmanMatt53]

Depends what you're using them for.

For coding:

GitHub Copilot (not fully free but worth mentioning)
Codeium (completely free and actually decent)

For writing:

ChatGPT
Claude (free tier feels more natural sometimes)

I've dropped a lot of tools because they just weren't reliable enough.

I am always wary when something sounds amazing at first glance. I track these things on a spreadsheet so I know when something actually expires.

Cheers for sharing that.

The useful stuff is harder to spot because there is so much noise around it.

[GreenEcho]

That is actually one of the clearer explanations I have seen. That is genuinely useful.

AI for writing assistance is genuinely useful. AI for replacing thinking is not.

Yeah that is about right. Thanks for that.

[CosmicRay40]

That works if you are disciplined about it, most people are not. Cheers for sharing that.

I would only bother if the saving is real and not just headline nonsense. Not a life changer but it adds up.

Most AI tools I have tried are impressive for a session and then disappear from my routine.

[RayOfLight32]

Good point. Same here really.

Appreciate the discussion.

[Candle]

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. Totally get that.

Appreciate it.
