Overview
Which AI tools are free?
Google Cloud offers free usage of many AI products up to monthly limits, including Translation, Speech-to-Text, Natural Language, and Video Intelligence. There is no charge to use these products up to their specified free usage limit. The free usage limit does not expire, but is subject to change.
Additionally, Google AI Studio makes it easy to start building with Gemini, including free tiers across our family of multimodal generative AI models. With NotebookLM, you can create a personalized AI assistant that surfaces insights and provides Audio Overviews on data you upload, including text, video, and audio. NotebookLM is free to use while it is in the early testing phase.
