All 80 free AI tools, organised by what you are trying to do
Most AI tool directories are a wall of links. This one is not meant to be skimmed — it is meant to be used. Every tool below is a focused wrapper around a language or image model with a purpose-built prompt behind it, so you describe the job in plain words and get a usable draft instead of negotiating with a blank chat box.
The practical difference between a good result and a useless one is almost never the model. It is the brief. A summariser given "summarise this" returns a shapeless paragraph; the same summariser given "summarise this for a client who missed the meeting, five bullets, flag anything needing a decision" returns something you can send. That is why every tool here has its own guide page explaining what it is genuinely good at, what it gets wrong, and the specific inputs that improve the output.
If you are new to this, start with the AI Academy rather than a tool — an hour there makes every tool on this page noticeably more useful. If you hit unfamiliar terminology, the AI Glossary explains it without jargon.
Describe the outcome
Say who the output is for and what happens next. Purpose beats adjectives every time.
Give it raw material
Paste the actual notes, error, job ad or draft. Models cannot infer context you never supplied.
Iterate once
Treat the first result as a draft. One targeted follow-up usually beats a longer opening prompt.
Writing AI tools (14)
Drafting tools for people who already know what they want to say but not how to start. Give them your rough notes, your audience and the length you need — the quality of the output tracks the quality of the brief far more than it tracks the model.
Communication AI tools (4)
Email, replies and messages where tone is the hard part. These tools are most useful when you paste the message you received alongside the response you want to send, so the assistant can match register instead of guessing.
Code AI tools (13)
Generation, review, debugging and explanation. Treat output as a competent first draft from someone who cannot run your code: always read it before shipping, and paste real error text rather than describing the error.
Creative AI tools (3)
Ideation, naming, story and concept work. These reward volume — ask for ten options and discard nine. Judging is much faster than inventing, and that is the actual leverage here.
Productivity AI tools (6)
Summaries, plans, checklists and structured extraction. The wins come from turning unstructured material — meeting notes, long threads, PDFs — into something you can act on in under a minute.
Marketing AI tools (11)
Ad copy, social posts, landing pages and campaign angles. Always supply the product, the audience and the objection you are overcoming; without those three, output regresses to generic marketing filler.
Education AI tools (9)
Study, revision and explanation tools. Ask for the reasoning, not just the answer — you learn nothing from a result you cannot reproduce, and checking the working is how you catch a confident mistake.
Image AI tools (10)
Generation, editing, captioning and extraction. Describe subject, style, lighting and framing separately; vague prompts produce the average of everything the model has seen.
Career AI tools (4)
CVs, cover letters, interview prep and profiles. Feed in the actual job description — tailoring against a real posting is the single change that most improves results.
Business AI tools (6)
Documents, analysis and operational writing. Useful for structure and first drafts; every number, legal term and commitment still needs a human to verify it before it leaves your desk.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these AI tools really free?
- Yes. Every tool on this page can be used on the free tier after you create an account. Free accounts have a daily usage limit so that one heavy user cannot exhaust the shared model budget; Plus and Pro plans raise that limit and add priority routing.
- Why do I need an account to run a tool?
- Every run costs real money in model usage. An account lets us apply a fair per-person limit instead of a site-wide one, and it is what makes your history, favourites and saved outputs work when you come back on another device.
- Which AI model powers these tools?
- It depends on the task. Reasoning-heavy work — maths, code review, analysis — is routed to a stronger reasoning model, while short rewrites and summaries go to a faster one. Image tools use a dedicated image model. You do not have to choose; the router picks per request.
- Do you store what I type into the tools?
- Your runs are saved to your own history so you can find them later, protected by row-level security so no other account can read them. You can delete any item from your history, and deleting your account removes them all.
- Can I use the output commercially?
- Yes, subject to our Terms. You are responsible for reviewing anything you publish — AI output can be confidently wrong, and factual claims, code and legal or financial wording should always be checked by a human first.
Not sure which tool you need?
Describe the job in your own words to the AI Assistant. It reads your request, picks the right specialised tool and hands you a link straight to it — which is usually faster than scrolling this page.
