New Year Special: Learn AI for $0.99

January 01, 2026

In partnership with

Large & Best AI Tools Directory

Hey, Welcome to AIChief.

A new year has a way of resetting how we think about tools, habits, and the skills we actually want to build.

AI is now part of everyday work for most people, but knowing how to use it well is still the difference between saving time and creating more confusion.

This edition is about starting the year on solid ground: using AI more intentionally, cutting through the noise, and building a foundation that actually pays off as the year unfolds.

Let’s get into it 👇

🎁A Gift For You!

The course is normally $20.
Right now, it’s available for $0.99 (95% off).

If you already use ChatGPT but feel like the results are hit-or-miss, generic, or harder to control than they should be, this course is built to fix that.

It focuses on the fundamentals most people skip:

  • How to structure prompts properly

  • How to get clear, reliable outputs

  • How to use ChatGPT for writing, research, and everyday productivity

No coding. No jargon. Just practical guidance you can apply immediately.

If ChatGPT is going to be part of your workflow this year, this is an easy way to start with the right foundation.

How much could AI save your support team?

Peak season is here. Most retail and ecommerce teams face the same problem: volume spikes, but headcount doesn't.

Instead of hiring temporary staff or burning out your team, there’s a smarter move. Let AI handle the predictable stuff, like answering FAQs, routing tickets, and processing returns, so your people focus on what they do best: building loyalty.

Gladly’s ROI calculator shows exactly what this looks like for your business: how many tickets AI could resolve, how much that costs, and what that means for your bottom line. Real numbers. Your data.

💸 The Free AI Stack People Are Starting 2026 With

The new year is the perfect moment to plug those sneaky money leaks, especially the ones hiding in your AI subscriptions.

One creator realized they were burning $240 every month on tools and decided to swap them out for free alternatives that delivered the same punch (sometimes even better):

  • Google Gemini for real-time research and writing

  • Ideogram for crisp thumbnails and logos

  • Google AI Studio to build your own “mini Claude.”

  • NotebookLM for effortless summaries and audio explainers

  • CapCut for fast, polished video edits

  • Microsoft Designer for clean, scroll-stopping visuals

The takeaway? You don’t have to ditch paid tools, just know when free is more than enough.

But saving money is only half the story. The other half is using AI to make more of it.

Creators are turning their skills into income by learning, selling, and scaling, all powered by smart AI tools.

Here’s the starter pack for that journey:

ChatGPT / Claude for education, Make.com for automation, Voice AI for client calls, Gamma for instant proposals, and HeyGen for scalable video content.
