Free AI bots

Seven categories of AI bot — chat, image generation, photo editing, voice transcription, text-to-speech, OCR and writing help — that work without paying, each checked against its own free-tier claim.

Every bot here does real AI work — writing, drawing, transcribing, reading text out of a photo — without a card on file. Four are corporate-backed and genuinely free with no catch: Sber's GigaChat, Kandinsky and SmartSpeech, and Yandex's Alice, all tuned specifically for Russian and running without a VPN.

The rest are independent bots with a free tier worth using on its own, not just a trial that expires: free voice transcription from Voicy, free background removal, free OCR built on the open-source Tesseract engine. None of them require a subscription to get useful output; where a bot also sells a paid tier for heavier use, we say so in the note.
