Comment "AI" and I'll send you all the tool links.
Most people are paying for AI tools that have free open source alternatives. Same features. No subscriptions. Full privacy.
Here are 8 you should know about:
1. Research: MiroThinker (instead of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini)
2. Vibe Coding: OpenCode (instead of Claude Code, Cursor, Replit)
3. Speech to Text: Handy (instead of AssemblyAI, Wispr Flow, ElevenLabs)
4. Text to Speech: Kokoro TTS (instead of PlayAI,
Murf.AI, ElevenLabs)
5. Image Generation:
Pollinations.ai (instead of Midjourney, ChatGPT, Nano Banana)
6. AI Avatars/Clone: Duix (instead of Synthesia, HeyGen, D-ID)
7. UI/UX Design: Open Design (instead of Canva, Figma, Claude Cowork)
8. Music Generation: ACEMusic (instead of Suno, Udio,
Tad.ai)
Every single one is open source. You can inspect the code, self host, and own your data.
Know these and you are already ahead of 99% of people still paying for the same thing.
Save this. You will keep coming back to it.
