This one is for all the broke college CS students out there <3

If you're like me, you don't want to pay $20 a month for claude code :(

It's an amazing tool I love, but a recurring expense is the last thing I need. That's why I find myself jumping from tool to tool, using the daily or monthly free tier limits and constantly having to find new free tools.

That's where "AI For Brokies" comes in. Just a simple github repo with a readme file of some free AI tools you can use for building :)

https://github.com/Joe-Huber/AI-For-Brokies

The actual building behind this project was mostly the automatic tool adder, following an issue format! If you want to see it in action, please drop an issue explaining a tool you use and see the bot do it's magic!

Please feel free to leave a star! ⭐️ (pretty please) You can use it to save the list of tools for whenever you run out of credits!

Best AI Video Generators for TikTok in 2026: Tools I'd Actually Recommend

AI video generation has changed a lot for TikTok creators. It is no longer just about generating a clip. The best tools now depend on what you are making — faceless avatar content, UGC-style product videos, paid ads, aesthetic clips, or content scaled across multiple languages.

I have been testing different AI video generators for TikTok, and these are the ones I would actually recommend.

1. ImagineArt

ImagineArt is my top pick if you want a platform that covers the full TikTok content workflow.

Most AI video tools do one thing — generate a clip. ImagineArt does the whole pipeline: text-to-video generation, AI avatars for faceless channels, UGC-style creator videos, video ad creation, auto-captioning, translation and dubbing, and workflow automation for high-volume posting.

Best for:

  • Faceless TikTok channels
  • UGC-style product content
  • TikTok ad creative
  • Multilingual content
  • Scaling output without a production team
  • Creators who want everything in one place

The UGC creator tool specifically stands out — the output looks organic, not produced, which matters a lot on TikTok.

2. Runway

Runway is one of the best pure AI video generators available right now.

If your goal is cinematic, high-quality video clips from a text prompt or image, Runway Gen-4.5 is hard to beat. The motion quality is excellent and it gives you a lot of creative control.

Best for:

  • Cinematic and aesthetic TikTok content
  • Text-to-video and image-to-video
  • High-quality visual output
  • Creators who prioritize visual quality over workflow

The limitation is that it is a generation tool, not a content platform. No avatars, no UGC output, no automation.

3. HeyGen

HeyGen is a solid option if avatars and translation are your main priorities.

The avatar quality is strong and the translation and lip-sync feature works well for localizing content across languages. Less flexible than ImagineArt overall but a capable tool for what it does.

Best for:

  • AI avatar videos
  • Video translation and dubbing
  • Multilingual TikTok content

4. Kling

Kling produces impressive video generation with fluid, realistic motion.

Best for:

  • High-quality AI video clips
  • Realistic motion and physics
  • Creators focused purely on generated visuals

Like Runway, it is a generation tool only — no avatars, no UGC, no workflow features.

5. Pika

Pika is a solid entry-level AI video generator. Easy to use, good for quick clips, and has a generous free tier.

Best for:

  • Beginners
  • Quick content generation
  • Testing AI video without a steep learning curve

If ImagineArt is too much platform for what you need, Pika is a reasonable starting point.

How to convert audio to a music video?

Right now mine is:

  • export track
  • hunt for visuals manually
  • try to sync everything in an editor

…and it’s honestly slow and kinda painful
