In this video I break down how you can build an app with AI completely free using these 5 AI tools. If you've been put off by subscription costs for Lovable, Bolt or Replit, then this is the video for you.
I walk through the tools we'll use to build, and how to build completely free using Gemini 3 in the Google Gemini CLI, and Convex Chef to get your project started, along with deploying via Vercel.
