HERE ARE THREE TOOLS THAT CAN REPLACE YOUR FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS. You don't have to be paying for Claude AI Pro, ChatGPT Plus, Perplexity Pro, especially for students. At no. 3, we have Gemini. For most everyday tasks, honestly, the Gemini's free version is just enough. It can write essays for you, summarize notes, explain difficult concepts, brainstorm ideas and even break down textbook chapters. You can do all of this without paying a single cent. At no. 2 is Perplexity. I actually use this instead of Google when I'm doing research because instead of just giving you the answers, it will give you the exact sources. This is extremely helpful for assignments, research papers, projects, it allows you to build citations without you having to go through Google. Honestly, the free plan is just enough as well. At no. 1, we have NotebookLM. Honestly, it's super underrated. You basically upload your own notes, PDFs, lecture slides, websites and even audio files, and it becomes an AI tutor based only on your material. So instead of getting answers from the entire internet, it will put together answers from directly your textbooks, your audio files, whatever you've input. You can also make you study guides, flashcards and even audio overview so that you can listen to them like a podcast. So honestly, if I was building a tool kit in 2026, for general health, complexity for research and NotebookLM for study, this basically covers 90% of the things that people are paying for. So make sure you save this video and follow me for more AI tools.
