Hi everyone! 👋

I am a beginner developer learning to code. I realized that almost every “Best AI Tools” list on the internet is full of paid software. As a student, I can’t afford $20/month for ChatGPT Plus or Midjourney.

So, I spent this weekend building my own solution: Free AI Finder. 🕵️‍♂️

🚀 What I Built

A simple, dark‑mode directory that only lists 100 % Free or Generous Freemium tools.

  • 28+ Verified Tools (Images, Video, Coding, Writing)
  • No Login Required to use the directory
  • Filters: Sort by “Copyright Free,” “Video,” or “Study”
  • Featured Game: I even included my own AI‑built Space Shooter game in the list!

🔗 Try the Free AI Finder

I built a retro Space Shooter entirely with AI assistance. It is listed as a “Featured Project” on the site, or you can play it directly here:


I would love your feedback! If you know any other free tools I should add, let me know in the comments.
