The landscape of free AI tools online changes every few months: new tools launch, free tiers shrink, features move behind paywalls. The durable approach is building a prompt system that works across tools so you're not rebuilding from scratch every time something changes. At aidowith.me, the Reusable Prompt System route runs 10 steps and takes about 75 minutes. You'll audit your writing tasks, pick the 2-3 free online AI tools that fit them best, and build a tested prompt library around those tools. By the end, your prompts are saved in a portable doc: so when a tool changes its free tier, you just swap the tool and keep the prompts. The route currently covers ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Notion AI, and Google Gemini free tiers. Most people settle on 2 tools that handle 90% of their tasks and treat the rest as backups. Start at so.aidowith.me.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- You've signed up for 6 free AI tools in the last 3 months and still don't have a workflow: just 6 dashboards you barely use.
- Every new free AI tool promises to be the last one you need, and none of them deliver on it consistently.
- You pick a tool, build a bit of muscle memory, and then the free tier changes: and you're starting over.
With aidowith.me
- Pick 2-3 free tools based on your actual task types: not hype: and commit to building a system around them.
- Build a portable prompt library that works across tools so you keep your system even when free tiers change.
- Finish the 10-step route with a tested, organized prompt system you can use from tomorrow morning.

How It Works
Audit your tasks and pick your tools
You'll list your top 6 writing and research tasks, then match each one to the free AI tool that handles it best based on a comparison matrix in the route. Most people end up using 2 tools for 90% of their tasks.
Build prompts for your top 6 tasks
Using a structured prompt framework, you'll build and test one prompt per task on your chosen tool. Each prompt goes through one revision cycle before it's added to your library.
Save, organize, and plan for tool changes
Your tested prompts go into a portable Google Doc organized by task. The route includes a 5-minute 'tool swap test': run your top prompt on a different tool: so you know your system isn't locked to a single platform.

"I finally stopped bouncing between AI tools and just picked two. Built my prompt system in one afternoon. It's been 3 months and I haven't added a new tool since - which is the most productive thing I've done with AI."- Content Manager, media company
Questions
ChatGPT free tier covers most writing tasks. Claude free tier handles detailed editing and longer documents. Perplexity is the strongest for research with citations. Notion AI is best if your workflow lives in Notion. Google Gemini integrates with Google Workspace. The route helps you pick the right 2-3 based on what you do.
Pick one tool per task category and commit to it for 2 weeks. The route's task audit in step 1 helps you make that decision based on your workflow, not reviews. Most people find that 2 tools cover 90% of their needs: the rest is procrastination dressed as research. Most tools on this list work in any modern browser without plugins or extensions.
The main gaps are context window size (how much text you can process at once), image and file upload, and the quality of the most capable model. For everyday writing and research tasks, free tiers are genuinely sufficient: the route works entirely within them. The one exception is processing long documents over 15,000 words, where free context limits cut off content before AI finishes reading the full text.
