Hey

I want to be straight with you. I built this because I was genuinely frustrated.

Every time I needed an AI tool for something specific — writing, editing images, transcribing audio, generating code — I would spend 20 minutes Googling, clicking through listicles with 47 ads, landing on tools that shut down 8 months ago, or paying for something I used once.

So I spent the last 1 week building https://brofindai.com

It is a dark mode directory of 500+ AI tools. No ads. No sponsored garbage pushed to the top. Just tools organized by what they actually do.

Here is what it does right now:

Search anything. Type "remove background" or "write cold emails" or "generate music" and it finds tools that do exactly that.

Filter by pricing. If you only want free tools, one click. If you are okay paying, filter for that. No more clicking into a tool and discovering the free plan does nothing.

Filter by category. Writing, Coding, Image Generation, Video, Audio, SEO, Research, Productivity and more.

Bookmark tools. Sign in with Google, save tools you want to try later. No more 47 open browser tabs.

Upvote tools. The community surfaces what actually works instead of what paid to be featured.

Here is what I want from you.

Tell me what is broken. Tell me what category is empty that should not be. Tell me which tool you use every single day that is not in there. Tell me if the search sucks. Tell me if it is slow.

I would rather get 10 pieces of brutal honest feedback today than find out in 3 months that nobody came back after their first visit.

If you have built an AI tool yourself and want to be listed, drop it in the comments. I am adding indie built tools for free right now.

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!

I've been building this repo public since day one, roughly 7 weeks now with Claude Code. Here's where it's at. Feels good to be so close.

The short version: AIPass is a local CLI framework where AI agents have persistent identity, memory, and communication. They share the same filesystem, same project, same files - no sandboxes, no isolation. pip install aipass, run two commands, and your agent picks up where it left off tomorrow.

You don't need 11 agents to get value. One agent on one project with persistent memory is already a different experience. Come back the next day, say hi, and it knows what you were working on, what broke, what the plan was. No re-explaining. That alone is worth the install.

What I was actually trying to solve: AI already remembers things now - some setups are good, some are trash. That part's handled. What wasn't handled was me being the coordinator between multiple agents - copying context between tools, keeping track of who's doing what, manually dispatching work. I was the glue holding the workflow together. Most multi-agent frameworks run agents in parallel, but they isolate every agent in its own sandbox. One agent can't see what another just built. That's not a team.

That's a room full of people wearing headphones.

So the core idea: agents get identity files, session history, and collaboration patterns - three JSON files in a .trinity/ directory. Plain text, git diff-able, no database. But the real thing is they share the workspace. One agent sees what another just committed. They message each other through local mailboxes. Work as a team, or alone. Have just one agent helping you on a project, party plan, journal, hobby, school work, dev work - literally anything you can think of. Or go big, 50 agents building a rocketship to Mars lol. Sup Elon.

There's a command router (drone) so one command reaches any agent.

pip install aipass

aipass init

aipass init agent my-agent

cd my-agent

claude # codex or gemini too, mostly claude code tested rn

Where it's at now: 11 agents, 4,000+ tests, 400+ PRs (I know), automated quality checks across every branch. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It's on PyPI. Tonight I created a fresh test project, spun up 3 agents, and had them test every service from a real user's perspective - email between agents, plan creation, memory writes, vector search, git commits. Most things just worked. The bugs I found were about the framework not monitoring external projects the same way it monitors itself. Exactly the kind of stuff you only catch by eating your own dogfood.

Recent addition I'm pretty happy with: watchdog. When you dispatch work to an agent, you used to just... hope it finished. Now watchdog monitors the agent's process and wakes you when it's done - whether it succeeded, crashed, or silently exited without finishing. It's the difference between babysitting your agents and actually trusting them to work while you do something else. 5 handlers, 130 tests, replaced a hacky bash one-liner.

Coming soon: an onboarding agent that walks new users through setup interactively - system checks, first agent creation, guided tour. It's feature-complete, just in final testing. Also working on automated README updates so agents keep their own docs current without being told.

I'm a solo dev but every PR is human-AI collaboration - the agents help build and maintain themselves. 105 sessions in and the framework is basically its own best test case.

Let’s be real: finding a "top-tier" AI video generator that doesn't immediately demand a credit card or hide behind a 5-credit trial is becoming impossible. You have a killer idea for a viral clip, but every tool—from Grok to Sora—has either gone paid or vanished. Here is exactly how to bypass the paywall and use the best models on the market right now for free.

The Step-by-Step Guide

1. The Roboneo "Workflow" Method

Most people use the basic interface and run out of credits instantly. To get the high-end results, you have to use the Workflow option.

  • Access: You can use this on a PC or their mobile app. Log in and immediately copy the unique ID code that appears in your profile—you’ll need this later to unlock unlimited use.
  • The Setup: Hit "New Project" and select Workflow. If you don’t select workflow, you’re stuck with the basic, limited models.
  • Building the Video: Click the + icon. You can choose "Text to Video" or "Image to Video."
  • The Models: This is where it gets crazy. You can select from a dropdown that includes almost every major model currently trending (V03.1, Kling, etc.).

2. How to Get Unlimited Generations

The platform gives you 20 credits a day, which lasts about five minutes. To fix this:

  • Go to the "Rewards" or "Invite" section in Roboneo.
  • Paste your own unique ID code ( 8NEXW125) into the generation field.
  • This triggers the system to add more generations to your account without needing a new email or a credit card. You can repeat this to keep your workflow running.

3. The Higgsfield Alternative (No Watermarks)

If you want something more "cinematic" without jumping through the workflow hoops, Higgsfield is the current move.

  • Models: It uses Nano Banana 2 for images and SeaDance 2.0 for video.
  • No Watermarks: Unlike the free trials on most sites, the exports here are clean.
  • Pro Tip: Use their "Cinema Studio" feature. You can describe a character once, save them, and use that same character across multiple videos to keep your storytelling consistent.

If you’re looking for the specific prompts that work best with these models, there are directories and "Free AI" catalogs that track which tools are still online and which have gone paid. It’s worth checking a live directory daily because these "unlimited" exploits tend to get patched quickly.

Canva AI 2.0 might quietly become one of the most useful AI tools for creators

I started testing Canva AI 2.0 this week expecting another “AI feature update” like every platform is doing lately.

But after using it for thumbnails, Pinterest graphics, Reddit visuals, and short-form content drafts, I noticed something different.

The biggest advantage is speed.

Not “AI magic.”

Just the ability to move from:
idea → draft → design → export

without switching between 5 different tools.

The writing still feels weaker than ChatGPT in some cases, but for visual content workflows it saves a surprising amount of time.

I can see why creators and marketers are starting to use it heavily for:

  • UGC concepts
  • ad creatives
  • lead magnets
  • quick social content
  • testing visual hooks

Curious how people here are using Canva AI 2.0 so far.

Are you using it for real projects yet, or just experimenting?

I’m building a task-based AI tool finder — looking for feedback

Hey everyone,

I’m building a small site called TechSuggestions to help people choose AI tools based on what they actually want to do.

Instead of another generic “Top 10 AI tools” list, the idea is more like:

  • want to make a presentation → get the right AI presentation tool
  • want to write an assignment → get a writing/study tool
  • want to summarize notes → get a note summarizer
  • confused between two tools → get a simple comparison

Right now I’m starting with AI tools for presentations, students, writing, and notes.

The goal is to make recommendations more practical and task-based, not just list every popular AI tool.

I’d love honest and harsh feedback on whether this direction feels useful and what categories/tools I should add next.

Site: https://tech-suggestions.vercel.app/

I’m seeing a lot of buzz about AI in PM tools. I’m looking for project management automation that can look at our team's past velocity and automatically adjust our future deadlines if we start to fall behind. I want a system that is proactive rather than just a digital list. Does anyone have experience with this kind of predictive automation?

Just sharing a fun workflow I tried today with GPT-5.5 and Hyper3D.ai. I used BANG to Parts to prep the 3D asset, then used Codex to turn it into a simple playable webpage.

I honestly expected a lot more manual work, but it came together pretty fast. Still a small prototype, but really fun to experiment with.
