Ho provato 12 Tool AI GRATIS Nuovi (Distruggono quelli a Pagamento)

Main summary

Key takeaways

Technology

Overall premise / evaluation

  • The creator claims they tested many free AI tools over months and argues that 12 free options can outperform paid alternatives, potentially saving hundreds of euros.
  • The video is organized into categories: brains (LLMs/search), creatives (images/design/presentations), builders (apps/automation), and surprises (music + advanced Google media tools).
  • Repeated theme: free plans are surprisingly capable, but limitations often relate to privacy (VPN), upload/file size restrictions, or free-tier credit caps.

Block 1 — “Brains” (LLMs + research)

1) DeepSeek (“Deep PSC” in subtitles)

  • Free + unlimited chat via web/app: no paywalls, no message limits (as stated by the creator).
  • Uses a unified model (V3.2) that automatically switches between:
    • fast chat
    • deep reasoning
  • Performance highlights:
    • Strong reasoning performance (as emphasized).
    • Mentions V3 Special allegedly winning gold in the 2025 International Mathematics/CS Olympiad.
    • Rumored V4: claims of ~1000B parameters, up to ~1M token context, and multimodal capabilities (text/images/video in one model).
  • How to use now:
    • Access through VPN (privacy concern; servers in China mentioned), then deepsic.com.
    • Supports file/document upload for complex questions.
  • Developer bonus:
    • 5M free tokens for API startup; pricing described as much cheaper than OpenAI.
  • Best fit: complex reasoning and logic problems.
  • Main downside: privacy + need for VPN.

2) Qwen (“Quen 3.6”)

  • Presented as an all-in-one free model from Alibaba, with:
    • A single interface for text + images + videos + documents + coding + advanced search + artifacts
    • No obvious limits/paywalls (as described for the free tier)
  • Practical demo workflow:
    • Upload a PDF → it extracts/breaks down key points.
    • In the same conversation → generate an image cover, then landing page code.
  • Language support emphasized: 200+ languages/dialects including Italian.
  • Mentions:
    • Omni capabilities (audio/video durations).
    • OmniPlus scoring high in “art scores” (metric not clearly specified).
  • Best framing: do “everything” without paying CGPT Plus-like subscriptions.

3) Perplexity

  • Positioned as a chat + search hybrid rather than classic LLM chat.
  • Strength: answers include inline sources/citations directly under statements.
  • Free plan (as claimed):
    • Unlimited/basic searches
    • 5 Pro searches/day for deeper multi-step reasoning
  • “How to use best” tips:
    • Treat it like an analyst, not Google: ask specific, complex questions.
    • For video prep, request complete overviews with updated data.
    • In free tier, you can paste URLs/text for analysis.
  • Limitations vs Pro:
    • Cannot upload large files.
    • No access to some premium models (as referenced: latest Claude/“Cloud”/GPT models).
  • Outlook: the creator mentions computer mode potentially becoming powerful for agentic use.

Block 2 — “Creatives” (images/design/presentations)

4) Leonardo AI

  • Free tier described as 150 tokens/day, resetting every 24 hours.
  • Token economics:
    • Example: one standard image uses about 5–8 tokens
    • Roughly 20–30 images/day
  • Key free-tier trick:
    • “Relaxed Generation mode” (claimed) allows indefinite generation (slower queue).
  • Creative/product features:
    • Multiple models (e.g., Phoenix, Flux, others).
    • Canvas editor for post-generation edits:
      • inpainting/outpainting, background removal, upscaling, etc.
    • Real-time canvas:
      • hand-drawn sketch → transforms into a professional image while you watch
  • Commercial rights (as stated):
    • Free use includes a non-exclusive commercial license
    • Private images require a paid plan
  • Differentiation: framed as the practical + affordable option.

5) Ideogram (Idogram)

  • Niche strength: highly readable text inside generated images (logos/posters/social graphics).
  • Creator claim: ~85% accuracy for correct, legible typography (higher than typical generators).
  • Free plan:
    • 10 slow credits/week (reset weekly)
    • Each prompt generates 4 images → up to ~40 images/week
  • Practical use:
    • Generate a logo with correct text
    • Prompt with style cues (e.g., “typographer”, “poster”)
  • Suggested replacement: can substitute for Canva for many use cases.
  • Pricing hint: Basic plan ~€8/month (as stated).

6) Gamma App

  • Claimed traction: 50M+ users.
  • Core feature: create presentations/documents/landing pages from a prompt in <60 seconds.
  • Free onboarding credit:
    • 400 free credits per new user
    • Estimate: ~40 credits per full presentation + ~10 credits per modification
  • Strengths from demos:
    • Fast generation of structure, slides, visuals
    • Strong customization and quick updates
  • Exports:
    • PDF, PowerPoint, PNG, Google Slides, etc. (not locked in)
  • Automation:
    • Mentions API generation and 8,000+ integrations (Zapier/Make-style)
  • “Import” feature:
    • Upload existing PDF/Word/PowerPoint/URL → Gamma restructures and you can modify, then export
  • Framed as replacing Canva Pro for these workflows.

Block 3 — “Builders” (app + workflow creation)

7) Google Gemini Studio — “Build”

  • Treated as “Gemini on steroids” for building apps.
  • Build flow:
    • Gemini Studio → Build
    • Choose the model, add prompts, enable “supercharge” Google integrations/features
  • Demo:
    • Prompt to generate an app that creates Instagram hooks in a slot-machine style
    • Emphasis: output is super functional
  • Prompt-building help:
    • “Discovery/Remix App” gallery of working apps/workflows
    • Or ask Gemini to write a high-quality build prompt following best practices
  • Positioning:
    • Replaces Bolt/Lovable/Replit-like tools for many simpler apps
    • Complex apps still need code/platform tools

8) Google Opal (automation competitor)

  • Presented as simpler than n8n/Zapier.
  • Access via opal.google; may require VPN depending on region.
  • Key value:
    • Integrated with Google suite and free/simple
    • Build automation workflows using English instructions with a visual graph (nodes/triggers)

  • Best-practice tip:
    • Configure output before generation using settings/custom instruction panel
    • Important because large context can dilute results
  • Demo outcomes:
    • Generate a two-voice podcast from audio review settings
    • Support for Italian output, even when input info is in other languages
    • Turn many source materials into concise team-ready slide summaries
    • Mentions generating “videos” too (described as cute outputs)
  • Positioning: replaces many apps by consolidating analysis + summarization + presentation generation.

Block 4 — “Surprises” (music + advanced Google media tools)

10) Suno AI

  • Presented as uniquely able to generate complete songs (vocals + instruments + arrangement/mix) from a text prompt.
  • Free trial:
    • 50 credits/day, resets at midnight
    • Each generation produces two variants, costing ~10 credits
    • Creator estimate: about 10 songs/day
  • Two creation modes:
    • Simple mode: describe the song in natural language + lyrics
    • Custom mode: specify genre/mood/tempo and more details
  • Workflow:
    • Generate <2 minutes, listen to both variants, then use continue to extend
  • Important monetization note:
    • Free trial songs are personal use only; not for monetizing on Spotify/YouTube
    • Pro needed for commercial use

11) “Nano Banana Pro” (Google’s image generation tool: “Gemini + banana symbol”)

  • Claimed to be state-of-the-art for image generation and easier than many competitors.
  • Usage paths:
    • Inside Gemini (free) via the banana tool symbol
    • Also referenced via Google Studio (some functions may be paid)
  • Recommendation:
    • Activate the “reasoning model” for better understanding

    • Understands simple natural-language instructions (compared to “chatting at a bar”), reducing the need for complex prompts
  • Editing/iteration behavior:
    • Less likely to “lose context” across successive edits
  • Advanced capability:
    • Combine a personal photo with a product context (for e-commerce scaling without reshoots)
  • Prompt optimization fallback:
    • If you can’t craft complex prompts, ask Gemini to optimize into a 10/10 prompt
  • Framed as replacing many other image generators when you want fast + high quality at free tiers.

12) Gemini Canvas

  • Not just an editor—described as an AI feature that:
    • Transforms documents into presentations with AI-generated slides and visuals
    • Creates infographics
    • Converts material into a landing page (and can generate downloadable outputs like PDF)
