WhichAI
A plain-language AI model picker for non-technical workers: you describe the task in human words ('summarize a 40-page PDF,' 'draft an apology email,' 'translate this audio') and it returns the best-fit AI tool with free, cheap, and pro options plus a one-line reason why.
Office workers, marketers, consultants, and small-team operators who keep hearing about new AI models but have no time to test them
- Task-first wizard (write, summarize, code-lite, image, voice, translate, research) that maps to the right model class
- Up-to-date verdict on free tiers like Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Kimi so you don't pay unnecessarily
- Honest scoring on cost, speed, privacy, and quality for each tool
- Bookmark your 'daily driver' for each task and get alerts when a better free option appears
The Dev.to thread shows even developers can't keep up with daily-driver choices; the same overwhelm is hitting every office worker who was told to 'just use AI' but doesn't know which tool fits their task.
