Hi guys do you know where i can make my own AI for free and no limit of usage to attach in MIT app inventor? because I'm having a problem with the available AI over the internet, available AI in the internet has a limit of usage and you need to pay for the access as premium. thank you for the responce
An ai says this.
It is not possible to make your own AI model with truly unlimited, free usage and attach it directly to MIT App Inventor without relying on external APIs that often impose limits or costs. However, you have some alternative approaches to explore:
Understanding the Limitations
The core issue is that running complex AI models requires significant computing power, which is expensive to provide for free and without limits on a server. Cloud-based AI services, even those that are initially free, must set usage caps or require payment (e.g., API keys, subscriptions) to manage the computational costs.
Alternative Approaches for Free/Extended Use
Here are a few options to get around strict limits:
- Use Local AI Tools (Hardware Dependent): The only way to get truly "no usage limits" is to run AI models locally on your own computer's hardware. Tools like LM Studio allow you to download and run open-source AI models for free, with limits only dependent on your hardware's power. You would need a way to connect your App Inventor app to this local environment, which may require advanced workarounds.
- Explore MIT App Inventor Extensions: The MIT App Inventor Community forum occasionally features free, community-made extensions that use shared API endpoints.
- One example is a free AI extension that uses powerbrainai.com. The creator states there are no limits, but these community services can have occasional server downtime or character limits (e.g., 2000 characters), so they might not be completely reliable for all needs.
- Leverage AI Model Training Platforms: Instead of a large language model, you can train specific, smaller machine learning models (like image classifiers) and integrate them into your App Inventor app.
- The MIT App Inventor team provides resources for this. The benefit is you train the model once, and the resulting model can be deployed as part of the app itself, without relying on ongoing cloud API calls for the classification task. This is a good way to build custom AI functionality within the platform's limitations.
- Look for Free Tier AI Builders: Several AI app builders or tools offer a free tier, but these will likely still have some usage limits. Platforms like Jotform's AI App Generator or Base44 are free to start and might suit some needs, though integration with App Inventor might be complex.
Ultimately, for a reliable, unlimited AI experience integrated with MIT App Inventor, you will likely need to manage your own API keys and associated costs, or scope your project to use locally executable models (like simple image classifiers) within the app's limitations.
