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....

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?

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!

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

I need help finding a good model that can help with editing text and maybe even rearranging that text.

Usually when I put a body of text into an AI model, it spits out its own version of what I’m trying to say and is clearly AI I just want help rearranging my thoughts and fixing grammatical errors without AI completely overriding my humanity.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

To whom may help,

I've been very impressed with AI tools such as CoPilot and ChatGPT, however I don't keep up on tech like this as of late and I see videos online of people who "seem" to understand it and get more information than I seem not to articulate well enough to smoothly get across my asks. Dose anyone know of a better AI platform that is more, i guess, as "open/less cryptic" or just better from a free user perspective?

Thank you in advance.

Just too add, the reason I ask is because CoPilot keeps giving me auto response "it's unable to work with my computer mic" when I ask questions in more depth. It's just weird.

So I work in sales ops for a mid sized software company and we've been expanding into a few European markets over the past year. And it's great for growth, not so great for my workload when it comes to RFPs.

Right now our process for handling multilingual RFP responses is pretty manual. Someone writes the response in English, then we send it to a translator or a local team member to convert it into French, German, or Spanish depending on the client. The problem is our source content changes constantly. Pricing updates, new case studies, product changes. Every time something changes in the English version, someone has to remember to update the other language versions too. Half the time the multi-language proposal content gets out of sync and nobody notices until a client points it out.

Then exporting RFP responses is its own headache. We need proposal documents in different formats depending on the client, usually Word or PDF and translated versions sometimes break the formatting completely. Tables shift, fonts change, and someone always has to go back and manually fix spacing or page breaks before it goes out. For a global sales team like ours , dealing with multiple regions at once this adds up to a lot of wasted hours every quarter.

Because of this, management decided to look into whether any AI RFP software actually handles this better than our current translation workflow and prepare a shortlist from which we could book demos. I was given a preliminary list from which I was supposed to filter unnecessary tools. Right now I'm looking into loopio, inventive, responsive ,pandadoc and proposify. So I did a bit of study browsing through the internet every info i could get ,taking help of LLMs as well..From what I can tell, Loopio is built mostly around a shared content library for reuse across proposals, but I haven't found much detail on how it handles multiple language versions of the same answer. Inventive AI seems to be positioned more around AI assisted drafting of responses, but I couldn't find clear information on multilingual export support either. Responsive seems to focus more on collaboration and review workflow between teams, not translation syncing. PandaDoc and Proposify both export cleanly from what people say, but they seem built for shorter proposals rather than long RFPs with dozens of sections across different languages. I think I'll get to know more about these tools after I get a personalised demo booked. But as there's so much info online it makes me more confused as to which one suits us, I'd love if you could tell me your unfiltered opinions on these AI RFP tools.

The tools I've researched so far I don't know for sure if any seems to directly solve the localization challenge of keeping translated content synced when the English source updates. That still seems to be the actual gap, regardless of which platform teams use.

Do most teams translate manually, or are AI tools actually helping with this now? Any tools you'd suggest? Which demos would you book first had you been in my place?

I manage the proposal and RFP response process for a mid-sized firm. For the last few years, we have been using a traditional legacy RFP tool,we currently use Loopio. While it acts as a great, massive database for our content, the manual work needed is driving my team mad. It feels like we need a full-time librarian just to keep the Q&A pairs updated, and their newer AI features feel like they were just put on top of a decade-old system than being built into the core workflow. I want to improve our tech stack now and I've been hearing people talk about “AI-native” RFP software. There's been a complete bifurcation in the market, and from what I have read, I am trying to understand which is better.. 1. Legacy Tools with Added AI (Responsive, Loopio, Qvidian): so,these are said to be the industry standards and are great if you have a huge, established content library and a dedicated team to manage it. But from my experience, this is a process that has to be done by hand for the system to read through messy excel or PDF files. The AI is primarily employed as a tool to draft answers, and the library still needs to be manually updated when the answers change.. 2. AI-Native Platforms (Inventive AI, Anchor AI, AutoRFP.ai, SiftHub): I am looking at switching to one of these because they claim the AI is the workflow, not just an add-on feature. For example, I had a demo with AI-driven tools such as Anchor AI and Autorfp and claim to be able to automatically pull in unformatted, messy RFPs without the need for manual pre-processing and are even capable of learning and updating the knowledge base automatically when a RFP closes. Then there's also Inventive AI, i have booked a demo with them over this week. It is said to provide answers based only on your own internal documents, so no false answers, and automatically tells you when it has outdated information and when it has conflicting information before you even submit the proposal. So what I can tell is , the AI-first platforms guarantee to take the operational load from people and put it straight into the software. But for those who have made the leap from legacy database to AI-native platform, Are ai native tools actually better ? Did they help you win more RFPs once you incorporated them? Can the AI do the job of keeping the content library clean without the need for any human to constantly babysit it? I would really appreciate some genuine feedback from people actually using these tools before I start booking demos any further, also would love to add more tools to my list. Do let me know what I am missing out on!

I work at a development company, i need AI to be able to take lots of PDF files or other documents and make real - actual good website from them, or apps. And i want something which will give good usage - because its a lot of information, is good to reason with that context, and will give good design for it.

Currently only have used Claude, but i seem to hit my 5-hour limit in about 1 hour only using Sonnet 5 at high. I'm considering Cursor because it seems to be really fast and efficient. But I don't know. Please help.

What about the Chinese models like GLM, and Kimi? Are they worth it to buy instead?

I can only buy the 20$ plans.

I am a developer working full-time, and I want to build some side projects for fun to solve my own problems. For this purpose, I don't think I'll be coding heavily every day—just a maximum of 2 to 3 hours per day. Which AI tool would be best to use that offers good value for my needs? My budget is $20, and I'm looking for the option that will provide the best value for my use case.

To be honest, sorting through an 8 hour stream just to find a few decent valorant clutches is breaking my brain lol. it takes way too long and i just want to get content out on tiktok and youtube shorts without losing sleep.

i tried a couple of generic ai tools but the captions look so boring and they completely miss the chat explosions or when i actually hit a cool headshot. I started testing wayinvideo recently in our community sub since it has specific templates for games like cs2 and fortnite. the auto captions actually have that viral style that pop and you can just search for moments by typing text which is pretty clean.

But i want to know what you guys are actually using to pull the best gaming highlight detection? like are there specific settings or other tools that handle longer vods better without missing the funny fails or chat spikes? let me know what’s working for you guys right now.

I feel like I’m struggling to find an AI that helps me research things that doesn’t give me advertisements that feel like they are only there because a company paid for it to be recommended.

Free AI to help me create character profiles based on images?

Anyways I used to create character profiles NOT IMAGE GENERATION! Based on images I uploaded to the AI Gemini is what I used for the longest time. However some of the images I uploaded had some nudity in the THEY WERE ALWAYS OF ADULTS AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IMAGES AND THE CHARACTERS I CREATED WERE ADULTS! I also never asked it to generate me sex scenes the nudity if explicitly in the character details was plot relevant stuff. I just want an AI so I guess LLM that lets you upload whatever images you want even if there is some nudity and based on those images create a character period.

I had been using Gemini, however now when I upload anything to Gemini that has even implied nudity it gives me literally the exact same automatic cannot help you prompt. So here’s what I need!

WHY IS THAT SO HARD?!
Requirements

Must be free (I know I know I know but I have $0 income and under $400 in my bank account but I suppose a small one time payment is ok NO SUBSCRIPTIONS!)

Must let me send more than one image at a time

Must be ok with artistic nude adult images

Must not have a low number of images I can send per day

Must not have a limit of number of messages and or images I can send per chat

Must let me send images from my phones photo library

Must work in my phone!

I had tried other models in the past but ChatGPT is fine but it’s limiting the number of images I can send. Grok is that AI that generated images of child porn and X AI is also owned by Elon musk so LET ME AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAUGE! DeepSeek is the Chinese AI so let avoid that as well. Claud doesn’t give me the same automated response but it doesn’t let me use the images to create a character profile period. Far as I know everything else is just a reskin of what I just listed or has no vision capacities. I have attempted to look into other apps don’t get me wrong like ones that say they have no censorship. However they are either crashing buggy the model I downloaded says it has vision capabilities but the app acts like every model doesn’t so regardless of what it says when downloading the model says it never saw the image I just uploaded. It’s restrictive when it says it’s not going to give me the cannot help you content warnings. It’s not free and there’s a limit to the number of messages I can send per day total or just number of images or a cost per message. It tells me I can only send 10 images per chat. I can only send one image at a time. Or it tells me you can use any model how you want and isn’t tied to another service but then hey why am I getting a message saying Google has said I used up my limit for the day?

Hey guys, Im not a big IT guy, im 19 and willing to get in AI, so Im experimenting with AI and I have been trying to vibe code an app with Claude Fable 5, and its kinda working, its really good at making my wishes true. Now Im at 70 percent of my fable 5 limits and probably the project is not going to be done by then.

How can I keep going with another AI to finish my app? Should I use Opus or is it considerably worse for some ear training app for musicians? Or maybe Kimi? Any advice? Thanks

I work on the training area of a big company and we currently produce a lot of videos illustrating “How to use feature X, or how to use app Y…”, that are basically an animated PowerPoint with some motion design parts.

I believe AI could help me do 80% of the job if I gave the complete script and trained her accordingly the company’s toolkit. Anyone have any known tool that could help me on this? Or any successful use case worth sharing?

I'm working on a documentary reconstruction and I created a rough 3D blockout in Blender. The terrain, canyon, camera angle, and approximate building placement are already done, but the models are very simple and lack architectural detail.

My goal is not to generate a completely new image. I want an AI that can use my blockout as a strong structural guide and transform it into a polished, realistic environment while preserving the topography, placements of all buildings, camera angle and the composition

Think of it as turning a graybox/blockout into a finished concept art or realistic archaeological reconstruction.

Which ai tools or would you recommend?

(i dont have any experiment with ai at all)

Random question — is there an app out there that combines multiple AIs (like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc) into one, and automatically picks whichever one is best suited for the task you give it? 🤔

Currently paying for Claude and honestly rate it, feels smarter and remembers stuff better than ChatGPT did when I used it before (that one started feeling kinda dumb after a while). Still use Gemini free version here and there depending on what I need though.

Just wondering if there's something that combines all of them into one app/interface instead of me juggling separately, and if so, what's actually the best one worth trying? 👀
