Old, retired developer here. I'm interested in tally for my use-case but don't want to spend any money or little money on the AI. What are my free cheap AI options?

Gemini (Google) has a good-enough-for-personal-projects free tier. Openrouter has free models (I'm assuming the training data is valuable enough to keep this going for a while)

I recently found out that my teenage son has about 20 Google accounts. Needed them for his homework he said.

That sounds very suspicious.

Unless he's using it for storage! haha. Then it's cheap.

You don't need AI for it.

You can just install the tool and use it. It is a CLI with very verbose output. Verbose output is good for both humans and AI.

The models from China are good and very cheap (or free) on OpenRouter; I can recommend Qwen and Kimi K2.
