Preview AI Tools before you sign up

Learn what you can preview in Ampere's public AI Tools directory before creating an account, and what needs an account or a paid plan.

Last verified 4 days ago

You can browse Ampere's public AI Tools directory before signing in. Use it to see which tools are available, compare capabilities, and decide whether a focused AI Tool or Ampere is the right starting point.

You need an Ampere account to see your run history, saved outputs, Brand memory, and Projects. Running an AI Tool also needs a paid plan.

The public AI Tools directory lets visitors search, filter, sort, and open tool previews before signing in.

Open the public directory

  1. Go to AI Tools.
  2. Use Search to look for a need, capability, tool name, tag, or category.
  3. Use category filters to narrow the directory.
  4. Use Sort to switch between recommended, name, or newest ordering.
  5. Select View tool on a card to open the public tool detail page.

The public directory keeps its filters in the URL, so you can share or revisit a filtered view.

What you can preview

Public AI Tool pages can show the tool name, summary, category, inputs, examples, estimated pricing, use cases, output expectations, caveats, and related tools when that information is available for the tool.

This is a preview of the tool's purpose and fit. It doesn't show your Organization's run history, saved outputs, Projects, billing, or account settings.

What needs an account

Sign in or create an Ampere account to open AI Tools in your Organization and to see your AI Tool run history, saved outputs, Brand memory, and Projects.

If you're signed out and select Run Tool, Run Workflow, or Schedule on a public tool page, the Open this tool in Ampere dialog asks you to sign in or create an account. Its Create account tab notes that running AI Tools comes with paid plans and that you can still start free. If you're already signed in, the tool opens in your Organization instead.

What needs a paid plan

Running AI Tools comes with paid plans, so every public AI Tool page shows an Available on paid plans tag next to its category. The page also offers Start free, with No card required below it.

Every public AI Tool page shows the Available on paid plans tag. Start free takes you to account creation, with no card required.

With a paid plan, you can:

  • Run an AI Tool or Workflow, or schedule it to repeat.
  • Use your Organization's shared credits for those runs.
  • Save or download what your runs create.
  • Give Ampere your own prompts and follow-up questions.

Select Start free to create an Ampere account without a card. Eligible accounts in supported regions that have never had a paid plan start on the Free Plan, where Ampere sets up your Brand memory, then completes up to 4 Free tasks for your brand. The Free Plan doesn't include AI Tool runs. To see who qualifies and what each plan includes, read Plans and pricing.

On the Free Plan, you can still explore AI Tools in the app. Selecting Run Tool or Run Workflow there opens the Run AI Tools with a paid plan dialog instead of starting a run. If you're the Organization owner or a billing admin, select Upgrade to open Billing, then choose a plan under Upgrade to a paid plan. Other teammates see a note to ask the owner or a billing admin to upgrade. Everything you created on the Free Plan stays saved when you upgrade.

Choosing between AI Tools and Ampere

Use a public AI Tool preview when you already know the focused job you want, such as generating an image, transcribing media, scraping a public page, or running a specific workflow.

Start with Ampere when your goal needs planning, multiple steps, brand context, judgment, or follow-up work across files and tools.

If you start on the Free Plan, you start with Ampere and its Free tasks for your brand. The AI Tools you preview here are ready to run when you upgrade to a paid plan.

Where to go next

After you sign in, read Browse the AI Tools catalog to find AI Tools in the app. To run a tool on a paid plan, read Run an AI Tool. To review previous work, read Find AI Tool run history. To compare the Free Plan and paid plans, read Plans and pricing.
