Free AI Work & Productivity Tools: Free Tiers, Limits

Free AI Work & Productivity Tools

26 resources

Work holds the tools that live inside documents, spreadsheets, slides and mail: drafting assistants, meeting transcription, PDF question-answering, and automation that moves data between those formats. A general chatbot is under Chat and a coding assistant under Coding. Free plans take the classic SaaS shape — a monthly cap on AI actions, a seat limit, or a feature that unlocks only after you invite colleagues. Check Access for scripting support, and use Type to hide offers that expire.
