I found this list of AI tools that are trending around. Basically, if you're looking for a truly free artificial intelligence website, there are several options that don't require paying anything.

I started testing ChatGPT even in the free version, and it's impressive what it can do — write texts, generate basic images, help with coding. The limitation is that there's a message cap every 5 hours, but after that, it uses the mini version which is faster. Google Gemini is also good, especially if you're already within the Google ecosystem. Its advantage is that it pulls real-time web data, which is very helpful for research.

For those into Chinese AI, DeepSeek has a very low cost, and people say it's really fast. It works well for analysis and technical explanations.

Now, if you work with videos, Lumen5 is like magic — automatically turns text into video. It has a watermark in the free version, but it works. Descript is excellent for podcasts, editing through text itself.

For PDFs, ChatPDF is simple and efficient. Upload a PDF and chat with the file.

In the image department, NightCafe offers free daily credits. Midjourney no longer has a free version, only paid. And there's that site 'This Person Does Not Exist' that generates realistic faces without copyright — useful for mockups.

SciSpace is pretty cool if you study or do research. Explains scientific articles that seem written in alien language.

The truth is, combining ChatGPT + Gemini + DeepSeek covers almost everything related to text. For images, ChatGPT and NightCafe handle it. For video and productivity, Lumen5, Descript, and SciSpace complete the package.

The cool thing is that a free AI website today delivers what used to be only for big companies years ago. Anyone can create more and better without spending a dime. It's worth exploring these options before paying for something premium.
