I have tried out several AI tools for learning, coding, and taking notes. ChatGPT and Gemini have been helpful; however, I wonder which one other people are using. Which is your favorite free AI tool?

So I stumbled across Agent Router (agentrouter.org) a few days ago, wasn't expecting much, but ended up pretty pleasantly surprised.

Fair warning — the site itself isn't the most polished thing. You sign in through GitHub (there's no separate "create account" flow, it's literally just "Sign in" and it creates one for you behind the scenes), so don't go hunting for a signup button, just hit sign in and it sorts itself out.

Past that though, hooking it up was stupid easy — plugged the endpoints straight into Claude Code and it just worked, no config headaches, no fighting with auth. Got access to Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 with $175 in free quota to burn through.

And burn through it I have lol....

Getting tired of seeing fine lines in selfies. Just tried Facy AI’s smoothing feature, it’s subtle but effective! Plus, it doesn’t make you look like plastic surgery gone wrong. Recommendations welcome!

I'm work in insurance and need to compile a comprehensive list of every plumber in City A, along with contact information and owner if it's available. Next I'll be asked to do every electrician, etc.

What AI tool would be able to help me?

I've been trying ChatGPT Research and it won't allow me to export it and I can only do 50 at a time. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

For people who use AI tools like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or ChatGPT for real work:

What is frustrating about working with AI today?

Is chat the best interface, or do you wish AI work felt more like a workspace where you can see tasks, files, progress, decisions, context, and agent activity?

What UI/UX would make AI easier to work with every day?

For example: a project dashboard, task timeline, visual workflow, shared workspace, better file/context view, approvals, or something completely different.

I’d love to know:

• What kind of work you use AI for
• What currently feels broken or annoying
• What your ideal AI work interface would look like
