Top Free AI Chatbots: The Best Free ChatGPT Alternatives

I’ve tested dozens of AI chatbots since ChatGPT’s debut. Here’s my new top pick

Since the launch of ChatGPT, AI chatbots have been all of the rage because of their ability to do a wide range of tasks that can help you with your personal and work life.

The list details everything you need to know before choosing your next AI assistant, including what it’s best for, pros and cons, cost, its large language model (LLM), and more.

Not only this, but most of these tools are free and great alternatives to ChatGPT and outperform it in certain cases.

I have used and spent weeks and months on almost all of these AI bots, so you don’t have to waste time trying them.

But first, let me give you top tools you can leverage to improve brainstorming and content writing.

1) MIRO

Miro is an AI-native app designed to streamline the process of brainstorming, studying, organizing, note-taking and presenting ideas.

Create stunning visual content (mind-maps, flowcharts, presentations, etc.) simply by chatting.

Miro helps convert your notes and structured essays into beautiful mind maps. It can create an easy-to-understand visual presentation from any idea or prompt.

Just enter a prompt, and you get a beautiful chart of your choice amongst the 2500+ free concept map templates. It makes me and my team understand everything faster,more efficient, and save a tonne of time.

I use it to create stunning mind maps, visual brainstorming, creating flowcharts and other presentations from my unorganized notes and ideas especially for my work, and studies.

This app has completely revolutionized the way I take notes and record my ideas, as someone who enjoys taking notes and jotting down every idea, this app is truly a game-changer.

It is another value-for-money tool that is dirt cheap compared to the amazing features it provides. Trust me, you will absolutely fall in love with this app’s simplicity, user experience, and ease of use.

Pricing: Freemium

I strongly recommend it to everyone. Definitely a must-have visual productivity tool in your list.

MIRO is truly your perfect day-to-day visual study/brainstorming/ideation buddy.

2)QUILLBOT:

One great AI Productivity Writing tool I recently started using for day-to-day writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, QuillBot-Flow , QuillBot AI Content Detector, Paraphraser, Summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

It is a great paraphrasing tool and can easily beat all the AI-content detectors out there.

I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly(12$ per month).

I took up its yearly premium for around $4/month (58% off) . The price was literally dirt cheap compared to other writing tools I have used in the past.

I personally love QuillBot Flow, and the whole set of amazing writing tools it offers.

Personally, it’s UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.

It is literally a one-stop shop writing productivity tool for everyone.
