AI Generators is a curated directory of 98 AI tools across nine categories — text, image, video, voice, music, code and 3D — with filters for editor's picks, open-weight releases and free tiers.
What is AI Generators?
AI Generators is a hand-maintained tool directory at aigenerator.cc that lists 98 AI tools in nine categories covering text, image, video, voice, music, code and 3D generation. Each entry links out to the tool's own site and carries a short note on what it does, the current model version, and where relevant a label such as "open weights", "free tier" or "editor's pick". The page also keeps a dated changelog of model launches and shutdowns, newest first, reaching back to October 2025.
What makes AI Generators stand out?
- Model-version stamps on every entry — listings name the specific model in play, such as GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney V8.2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Kling 3.0, Suno v6, Eleven v3, DeepSeek V4 and Wan 2.6, rather than a generic brand name.
- A dated "What's new" feed — items span October 2025 through October 2026, covering Kling 4.0's global launch, the Claude 5.5 family, Mistral Large 4 entering preview, and the shutdown of Sora's web, app and API.
- Filters by access model — one-click filters isolate editor's picks, open weights and free-tier tools.
- Keyboard search — pressing the forward-slash key jumps to the search field; the page states when no tools match a query and offers to clear the search and filters.
- Category groupings — image generation, LLM chatbots, AI search, writing assistants, notes and research, PDF chat, video, voice and audio, music, coding agents, 3D objects, 3D worlds, education, biology, research agents, and math and chip design.
- Open-weight coverage — Flux Klein, Stable Diffusion, Qwen-Image, DeepSeek V4, Llama 4, Gemma 4, gpt-oss (120B and 20B), Wan 2.6, Hunyuan3D 2.1, TRELLIS.2 and Meta SAM 3D all carry open-weights flags.
- Status flags for retired tools — Sora stays listed with a "Sunset" note explaining that the web and app closed on April 26, 2026 and the API on September 24, 2026, so older links still make sense.
- Six editorial "shifts" summaries — short notes on video gaining audio, open weights catching up, music going licensed, coding turning agentic, no single best image model, and agentic science tools.
Who should use AI Generators?
Model pickers and product teams: compare image and video models for a specific job — GPT Image 2 for text rendering and conversational editing, Nano Banana Pro for dense information graphics, Midjourney for art direction, Flux when open weights matter.
Developers choosing an open model: check licensing and limits before committing — DeepSeek V4 (MIT, 1M-token context), Qwen3.8 (Apache 2.0), GLM-5.3 (MIT), Gemma 4 (Apache 2.0) and Mistral's Apache 2.0 models for data-residency needs.
Engineering teams: scan the coding-agent category for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, OpenCode, Aider, Devin and Replit, and compare them by interface (terminal, IDE, cloud).
Music and audio producers: weigh Suno v6, Udio, Google Lyria 3.5, Stable Audio 3 and ElevenLabs Music, including the licensing deals behind them.
What can you do with AI Generators?
- Pick a video model without testing blind: Seedance 2.0 generates audio and video together, Veo 3.1 offers synchronized audio plus 4K and a cheaper silent Lite tier, Kling 3.0 adds multi-shot storyboarding and lip sync, and Runway covers motion brush, camera control and 4K ProRes export.
- Shortlist free or self-hostable options: the free-tier filter surfaces Kling AI's daily credit allowance, Tencent Hunyuan 3D's daily quota, Ideogram, Cursor's free tier, Gemini CLI and ChatGPT Study Mode; the open-weights filter surfaces everything you can run yourself.
- Find a narrow single-purpose tool: Artly AI for photo-to-art and vectorize to PDF or SVG, PortraitArt across 80-plus art styles, PhotoRoom for background removal, GoColoring for coloring pages, ChatPDF and pdf.ai for chatting with a PDF, and AutoShorts.ai for faceless short videos with auto-posting to TikTok and YouTube.
- Track a moving release schedule: the changelog flags things like GPT-6.1 Astra being pulled after failing internal safety tests, Suno's licensing deals with Warner Music, BMG and Believe/TuneCore, and Udio restricting downloads mid-transition.
How does AI Generators work?
Browsing happens on a single page: press the forward-slash key or click the search field, optionally narrow by editor's picks, open weights or free tier, then read the category list and follow the outbound link to the tool itself. A "What's new" block at the top lists recent launches and shutdowns newest first, with a collapsed "Show earlier changes" section holding the rest.
FAQ
Is AI Generators free to use?
The directory itself is a free, browsable list with no account or paywall described on the page. Costs come from the tools it links to, such as paid Kling or Cursor plans, and free tiers where those exist.
How many tools are listed?
98 tools in nine categories, spanning text, image, video, voice, music, code and 3D. A search field filters them live, and the page shows a "no tools match" state with an option to clear the search and filters.
Does it list open-source models?
Yes. Entries flagged open weights include Flux Klein, Stable Diffusion, Qwen-Image, DeepSeek V4, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Mistral, Llama, Gemma, gpt-oss, Wan 2.6, Hunyuan3D 2.1, TRELLIS.2, Meta SAM 3D, Whisper and Gemini CLI.
Are retired tools removed from the list?
No. Sora remains listed under a Sunset label noting that the web and app experiences closed on April 26, 2026 and the API on September 24, 2026, so older links and recommendations still make sense.
Can I run these tools locally?
Some of them. Open-weight entries such as Flux Klein, Wan 2.6, Hunyuan3D 2.1 and TRELLIS.2, which runs in ComfyUI, are candidates for self-hosting, while Kimi K3 is noted as needing serious hardware to run yourself.
