I Built 3 Free AI Tools in a Weekend. Here's What Happened.

Last weekend I built three free AI tools. Here's the real story.

The 3 Tools

1. AI Tool Finder

5-question quiz that recommends the perfect AI tool for your needs.

  • Built with: Pure JavaScript
  • Cost: $0
  • Time: 4 hours

2. AI Prompt Generator

Takes your lazy prompt and makes it 10x better.

  • Built with: Template engine + AI patterns
  • Cost: $0
  • Time: 3 hours

3. AI Cost Calculator

Shows you exactly how much your AI stack costs per month.

  • Built with: Math + 30+ tool prices
  • Cost: $0
  • Time: 2 hours

What I Learned

  1. Simple tools get used - The quiz is 5 questions. That's it. People love simple.
  2. Free converts - Every tool is free. No signup. No credit card. That's why people try them.
  3. Real feedback matters - A developer commented saying he actually tried the tools and loved them. That's worth more than 1000 views.

The Results

  • 9 Dev.to articles published
  • 234+ GitHub backlinks
  • 84 pages indexed
  • Real developers trying the tools
