As an indie hacker, every dollar matters. Here is my complete AI toolkit that costs exactly $0/month.
The Stack
Content Creation: AI Sense
This is the cornerstone. AI Sense provides 80+ AI tools for free:
- Headline Generator - Blog titles, product names, ad copy. I use this for every landing page.
- Cold Email Writer - outreach to potential customers. Landed my first 3 users this way.
- Text Summarizer - Process competitor research and customer feedback in seconds.
- AI Humanizer - Make landing page copy sound natural, not AI-generated.
- Translator - 10 languages. My product page is now available in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese.
No signup required. Just open and use.
Design: Canva Free
Social media graphics, logos, pitch deck slides. The AI features (Magic Write, background remover) are included in the free tier.
Code: Cursor Free Tier
AI-assisted coding. The free tier gives you basic completions which is enough for prototyping.
Analytics: Google Analytics + Search Console
Both free. GA for traffic, GSC for SEO data.
Email: Gmail + AI Sense Email Writer
Professional outreach emails without paying for an email tool.
Landing Page: Vercel Free
Deploy your landing page for free. Custom domains included.
My Daily Workflow
- Morning: Check analytics in GA/GSC
- Content: Use AI Sense to write blog posts, social content, and emails
- Code: Build features in Cursor
- Market: Create social graphics in Canva, schedule manually
- Evening: Summarize learnings with AI Sense summarizer, plan next day
The Numbers
- Monthly tool costs: $0
- Content produced per week: 3 blog posts, 7 social posts, 10 outreach emails
- Languages supported: 10 (thanks to AI Sense translator)
- Time saved per day: ~2 hours
Why This Works
The key insight for indie hackers: you do not need premium tools to start. AI Sense covers 80% of what paid AI tools offer, for free. The remaining 20% can be handled by other free tools.
Start building, start shipping. The tools are free. Your time and execution are the real investment.
