FreeGPT

Free ChatGPT lets you send ten messages to its premium model every five hours. Once you hit that limit, the system switches you to a lighter model until it resets.

Which means every reset, you get a small invitation to draft something.

An idea. A thought. A plan. With a little help from AI, of course.

It’s free, low-stakes practice with nothing on the line, so you can be curious. You can ask dumb questions. You can explore dead ends, make weird connections and try ideas that probably won't work.

The paid version, with its higher limits and premium features, might actually be worse for this. When you're paying, there's an invisible pressure to extract value. To be efficient. To make every query count.

But the free version gives you permission to waste a credit on a haiku about staplers or a business plan for a restaurant that only serves breakfast cereal.

You’re not just practising writing, you’re practising consistency. You’re training yourself to start. To explore. To produce.

The gift of free ChatGPT isn’t the ten messages.

It’s the rhythm they create.
