Top 10 Free AI Tools I Use Every Week

AI tools are everywhere right now, but let’s be honest, 80% are either gimmicks or locked behind paywalls. So here’s my no-fluff, dev-approved list of the 10 free AI tools I actually use every single week, whether I’m coding, analyzing data, or just automating life.

1. ChatGPT (Free Tier)
   Use for: Brainstorming ideas, debugging code, drafting content
