You don't need to buy anything to start creating AI content. The free limits of modern neural networks are enough to build your first portfolio. Let's break down what to use for each task.
Text
ChatGPT and Gemini — ideas, scripts, copy, rewriting. The free versions are enough for daily content work.
Images
Nano Banana in Google Flow produces high-quality images. ChatGPT and Gemini also draw images right in the chat — handy for quick edits by words.
Video
Kling and Grok animate images and make short clips. The daily trial generations are enough to learn and collect work samples.
Sound
Suno generates music, ElevenLabs does voiceover. Together they turn a silent sequence into a finished clip.
Tip
Don't chase the number of services. Take one from each category and master it — paid plans come later, when your content starts making money.
