Big thank you to Nate for putting this together and providing all the resources for free — honestly made it super easy to follow and take action. For my build, I wanted to challenge myself to keep everything 100% free. I ended up using the OpenRouter free APIs and the openrouter/free model, which dynamically picks from available free models. This helped me get around the usual limits you hit when sticking to a single free model. Still pretty basic right now, but it’s working — and that’s what matters. I’ll keep improving it step by step from here. The next step is to build something that actually provides real value and start something of my own. I’ll see you in AIS+ @Nate Herk If you're just starting out, don’t overthink it — you can build something real without spending anything. 💪

Just getting started and following along step by step. Here’s what I’ve built so far — still pretty basic, but it’s progress. I’m focusing on learning, improving, and staying consistent. Looking forward to leveling this up over the next few days. If you’re also doing the challenge, would love to see what you’re working on 👇
