AI is getting expensive, and it is not slowing down
Claude is my favorite AI chat assistant because it is the best AI for doing meaningful work, however, it is already expensive because of the usage limits.
If you are on the basic plan on Claude, you will find it difficult to get anything done with the higher models. Claude Opus 4.6, 4.7, and the newly launched 4.8 are all behind usage limits. When we tested Claude Opus 4.8, we could not send more than three messages before it started asking us to buy more credits. We bought more credits. Then more again. It was never enough.
This is the pattern we see across almost every AI model right now. The most capable and intelligent assistants are locked behind paywalls, and the prices are only going one direction. Upwards!
Some AI Chat Assistants were built to overthink
Gemini, for example. It talks a lot and it is not always suitable for real tasks except copywriting, which it is really great at. We tested it on something simple: editing a 500-row Excel sheet. Claude handled it cleanly and returned the file without errors. Gemini spent minutes thinking, then struggled with the same basic task and keeps resetting our worksheet.
When a model overthinks a simple task and wastes your time, it is not really making you productive and it burns all the tokens you paid for while thinking.
Almost like you paid for it to think 80% of the time.
There is a way out though…build on top of their API and add it to AIFreeForever and offer access for free!
Why we are building our own free Chat Assistant?
We want to offer multimodel access for free.
If you want access to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Qwen today, you are looking at multiple subscriptions. That could easily add up to $200 or more per month just to compare answers across models and get your work done.
We ran into these problems ourselves, and that is why we started building AIFreeForever chat assistant section.
So therefore… One chat assistant. Multiple models. 100% free. How does that sound?
There are other SaaS platforms doing something similar, but they charge for it. But for us, we want to solve real problems that get in the way of your work, and we want to do it without charging you anything.
What we have built so far
We have built the interface and integrated ChatGPT 5 (currently GPT-5.2) as the first model. As we grow and get more funding, we will upgrade model capacity and add support for higher models.
We are also adding the ability to switch between models. Soon you will be able to get answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Qwen, all from the same chat window, without paying for any of them.
Here is what is already inside the platform:
- Local chat history. Your conversations are saved locally in your browser for 24 hours. We do not use a database. We do not store your chats on our servers. Everything goes directly to the API providers of each model. We do not see it, and we do not save it.
- File uploads. You can upload PDFs and chat with it, Excel files, PowerPoints, images, and more. Some of these file types are not even supported by ChatGPT natively, which is hard to believe for a trillion-dollar company. We are trying to fill those gaps.
- Document and image generation. You can ask the assistant to generate an image directly in the chat or document.
- Internet browsing. The chat assistant can browse the net and look into any website
One thing we ask of you
We keep this platform free by running ads. That is how we cover the cost of API payments that power every conversation.
PLEASE DO NOT USE BRAVE BROWSER AT ALL!
If you use an ad blocker on AIFreeForever, we cannot make money, and we cannot keep the lights on, we cannot pay for API and the ads are what make it sustainable. If the ads cannot pay the API bills then we will have to shutdown and say goodbye.
So please, when you use the platform, keep your ad blocker off.
That is the only thing we ask.
