What's the best AI choice for me?

[woolypants]

I work as a content creator. At work I might be creating marketing emails, writing blogs, creating video scripts. I get AI to either create these from scratch, and then edit/rewrite them.

Or I get AI to outline for me, so I need a model that has great insight into topics. This in particular is key because it saves me substantial mental energy. On my own, I can create an outline given an hour, and another hour the next day to review it so I've got a fresh mind. Or I can get AI to provide a great, insightful outline in about 10 seconds.

Often I get AI to review copy, too, sometimes on quite technical topics. I ask it to find errors or questionable/ambiguous statements.

But it isn't just about that! Sometimes I use AI personally as a search engine – from pension plans, to health issues, to iPad accessories.

I'm currently paying for ChatGPT but with GPT5, that now feels like wasted money given I can get a lot of it for free (given that I use it maybe 5-10 times a day at most).

The free version should be enough.

I'd recommend to use T3.chat, it has pretty good limits for the price (I haven't even used a third of my monthly messages and I'm almost at the renewal date), like 1500 normal messages (basically GPT-5 regular) and 100 premium messages (GPT-5 with thinking, Claude, image generation, etc) every month for like 8$ USD a month, and there's practically every major model out right now and search built in.

No I'm not secretly advertising I just really like it

I like ChatGPT personally. Use it for various things, from talking to it about things I am curious about to using it with work. I had 7 pdf's that had at least 200 or so decals in each. They were all different sizes. I started doing it the old fashion way till I thought "why can't ai do this for me?" and sure enough I dropped in 7 PDF's all at once and asked it to give me the total number of pages for each size. Quickly and accurately it gave me exactly what I needed and saved me a ton of time, easily covering the cost of a few months of subscription.
