Open-source tools can replace a stack of paid subscriptions, but their setup pages are written for developers. This toolkit turns each one into a guide you follow by pasting a message into Claude.

05 / Who made this
Hi, I'm David.
I run David Tests AI. In short videos I show free, open-source AI tools and what they can do. A reel is short, and setting a tool up takes longer than a reel. So I wrote the setup down: one guide per tool, sorted into 11 kits, for people who have never opened a terminal.
06 / Before you buy
What you need.
- The Claude desktop appOn Windows 10 or newer, or macOS 13 or newer.
- A paid Claude planPro, Max, Team or Enterprise. The part of the app that installs tools is not included in the free plan.
- An internet connection and some free disk spaceThe tools are downloaded from their official sources.
- Extras for some toolsAn API key from another service, Docker Desktop (free), or a computer with a strong graphics card. Each guide says so up front, and shows a hosted or no-install option where one exists.
This is for you if
- You create content and want professional tools without monthly subscriptions.
- You freelance or run an agency and want to add services such as SEO audits, video editing, automation or chatbots.
- You run a small business and want your own scheduling, CRM, invoicing and analytics.
- Technical setup pages have put you off open-source AI until now.
Skip it if
- You are a developer who is comfortable with a terminal. You do not need this.
- You do not want to pay for a Claude plan. The guides depend on it.
- You are looking for guaranteed income. The service ideas and prices are examples and estimates.
07 / Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You paste messages into Claude and click to approve. The guides contain no commands for you to type.
Are the tools really free?
The tools are free and open source. Some of them connect to paid services, such as an AI model or a voice service, that charge for use. Each guide lists what a tool needs and points to free options where they exist.
Can I use the tools for client work?
Often yes, but it depends on each tool's license. Every guide has a plain-English license note, and tools with restrictions are clearly marked. For a large client project, read the license yourself.
Does it work with ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor?
The step-by-step pictures show Claude. Each guide also includes a short message you can paste into Codex or Cursor.
What if a tool changes after I buy?
Open-source projects change quickly. Each setup message tells Claude to follow the project's current instructions, so the guides keep working in most cases even when details change. This edition was checked against GitHub on November 11, 2026.
What exactly do I download?
Eleven PDF kits, 1,363 pages in total, plus an Excel catalogue of the 448 projects researched for the toolkit.
