Discover the AI tool that’s giving ChatGPT serious competition
TL;DR: 1minAI’s lifetime subscription is on sale for $79.97 (over 80% off) before this price drop expires. You’ve heard of ChatGPT, Gemini, and the other top AI tools, but probably not the newest one that’s rising as their biggest competitor. Why? It combines them all into a single platform without subscription fees—and we think it’s far easier to use, especially if you’re new to AI. So, you need to generate articles for work? (We won’t tell). Use 1minAI’s preset tool and select a tone, length, number of sections, and keywords, then describe your desired content. This is where you can also select your preferred AI model like GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5 Pro, or Claude 3.5 Sonnet, among others. There are also AI tools for images, documents, audio, video, and code. 1minAI works on a credit system. You trade credits for AI-generated content, but unless you’re generating full books daily, you’re probably not going to run into any walls. Your lifetime subscription gives you 4,000,000 credits every month. That means you can generate about 32,000,000 words or 640 images. And just by logging in, you can get an extra 450,000 credits every month. Get lifetime access to this all-in-one AI tool for $79.97 (reg. $540) for a little while longer.
