ModelHubby
Free AI access, mapped and kept honest.
Free AI is real. Knowing which offer is still real is the hard part.
Dozens of AI companies, OpenAI, Google, and a long tail of smaller ones, give away some amount of free access to their tools. Each one has its own rules about how much you get, what it takes to sign up, and whether it quietly starts charging your card once you're hooked. The lists that track all of this are volunteer-maintained pages on the internet, typed up once and rarely revisited. Nobody goes back and re-checks the claims. A free deal changes or disappears, the list doesn't notice, and the person relying on it finds out the hard way, usually mid-project, usually at the worst possible time.
A directory that keeps checking its own homework
ModelHubby is a free, maintained directory of those offers: which companies give away real access, what it actually takes to sign up, and whether the company uses what you type to train its own AI, a fact most of them bury. The difference from a volunteer list is that ModelHubby doesn't just publish a claim and walk away. It goes back and checks, the way a careful fact-checker keeps calling the source back instead of trusting last year's quote. That checking has already caught things a static list would have missed: a Google AI tool that had quietly been retired while still listed as available, and a signup step nobody had bothered to write down. Alongside the directory sits a small, free tool you run on your own computer that automatically switches you to the next working free option the moment one runs dry or goes down, so a project doesn't stall just because one company changed its mind.
Not another list of free AI offers somebody typed up once. A list that keeps checking whether it's still telling the truth.
Where worldwide AI spending is headed in 2026
Gartner's forecast, up 47% year over year. Nobody sizes 'verified free AI directories' as its own category yet, so this isn't a claim on that number. It's the ocean this product swims in: the more everyone spends chasing AI, the more valuable it gets to know which parts are still legitimately free.
What's actually built
The catalog
48 companies, 117 individual AI tools, backed by 54 separate source documents cited as evidence. Free, no account needed, no paywall on any of it.
The checking, not just the claiming
Every entry gets tested against the real thing, not just typed once and trusted. That process has already caught a tool that was quietly retired while still listed as live, and a signup step nobody had documented.
The privacy and hassle facts
Does signing up need a credit card or a phone number? How many steps, how long until you have something working? Does the company use what you send it to train its own AI? Recorded only when it's actually confirmed. 'We don't know yet' is treated as a real answer, never filled in with a guess.
The switchboard
A small, free tool that runs on your own computer and automatically moves you to the next working free option when one runs out or goes down, so a project doesn't grind to a halt because one company changed the rules.
The guides
Step-by-step signup instructions for every company in the catalog, written so anyone can follow them without a technical background.
How it actually works
Look before anyone signs up for anything
Browse the free catalog and filter for what actually matters to you: no credit card, no training on your data, a real allowance, not a trial in disguise.
Point your project at the switchboard instead of one company
Install the small free tool once. From then on, your project talks to it instead of picking a single free provider and hoping.
Let it fail over instead of you finding out the hard way
When a free option runs dry, goes down, or quietly changes its terms, the switchboard moves you to the next working one automatically.
Decide later whether the paid tier is worth it
The whole thing works, free, forever, no catch. The $19-a-month tier is there for people who'd rather buy back their own time than keep checking things by hand.
Pricing, and what stays free forever
The determined DIYer can always succeed end to end, free, unaided.
Developers, students, and small teams building AI projects who want free access they can actually trust
It's also plumbing for the rest of the CHAOSAiGENT studio. VaibOS already runs its daily reading digest through ModelHubby, and RADAR has chosen it as the way it will serve its own AI features once those are built.
