I am thinking for making a Audiobook channel and convert TTS from Project Gutenberg ebooks , i need free AI tools(because of hobby project) which will generate Audio book text/script and convert TTS (ChatGPT has word limitations and can only generate annexure, Deepseek i am sceptic due to china origin) . Have tried some other tools like ElevenLabs/Speechify/PlayHT/WellSaid Labs/Merf AI etc. but there free plan has limitations and wont allow me to generate bigger audio books , have tried some custom made free projects from Reddits r/audiobook like
this and
this but these are in python and i am not a techie so cant make head or tails of how to get them working. for e.g. both
https://github.com/aedocw/epub2tts and
https://github.com/DrewThomasson/ebook2audiobook have setup.py so when i click on it they open CMD and install bunch of repositories , idk what to do after that. since github projects are free if anyone guide me how to install and make them working where i feed a txt/epub file and it generates audiobooks for me that will be great help.
Google Gemini’s AI coding tool is now free for individual users
And provides 90 times more monthly code completions than GitHub Co-pilot's free tier.
A free version of Gemini Code Assist, Google’s enterprise-focused AI coding tool, is now available globally for solo developers. Google announced today that Gemini Code Assist for individuals is launching in public preview, aiming to make coding assistants “with the latest AI capabilities” more accessible for students, hobbyists, freelancers, and start-ups.
“Now anyone can more conveniently learn, create code snippets, debug, and modify their existing applications — all without needing to toggle between different windows for help or to copy and paste information from disconnected sources,” said Ryan J. Salva, Google’s senior director of product management. “While other popular free coding assistants have restrictive usage limits, with usually only 2,000 code completions per month, we wanted to offer something more generous.”
That feels particularly targeted at
GitHub Co-pilot, the most direct competitor to Gemini Code Assist, which also provides a free user tier that’s limited to 2,000 code completions and 50 Co-pilot Chat messages each month. Google is offering up to 180,000 code completions per month by contrast, which it describes as “a ceiling so high that even today’s most dedicated professional developers would be hard-pressed to exceed it.”
Like the enterprise version, Gemini Code Assist for individuals is powered by Google’s Gemini 2.0 artificial intelligence model and can generate entire code blocks, complete code as you write, and provide general coding assistance via a chatbot interface. The free coding tool can be installed in Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and JetBrains developer environments and supports all programming languages in the public domain.
Developers can instruct Gemini Code Assist using natural language, such as asking the coding chatbot to “build me a simple HTML form with fields for name, email, and message, and then add a ‘submit’ button.” It currently supports 38 languages and up to 128,000 chat input tokens in the token context window, which is the amount of text (tokens) that can be processed or “remembered” when generating a response.
The free Individual tier seems pretty expansive, but it doesn’t include all of the advanced business-focused features available in the Standard and Enterprise versions of Gemini Code Assist. If you want productivity metrics, integrations with Google Cloud services like Big Query, or to customize responses using private code data sources then you’ll need to use Google’s paid tiers.
