# Pivvi

> Pivvi is a free, no-account web tool that tells you the best free AI to switch to when you hit a rate limit on another AI. Paste your prompt, get a recommendation for the best free AI to use right now, copy your context over, and keep working. Everything runs in your browser — no signup, no account, nothing sent to a server.

## What Pivvi does

When a free AI chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, etc.) tells you "you've reached your limit," Pivvi recommends the best free alternative to switch to based on what you were doing, and helps you carry your context to the new tool.

- Free to use, forever. No account, no signup, no email required.
- Runs entirely in the browser. Your prompts never leave your device.
- Recommends a free AI matched to your task (coding, writing, search, long context, image generation).
- Helps you copy your prompt and context so you don't lose your place when switching.

## How Pivvi decides what to recommend

No major AI chatbot publishes exact, stable free-tier message limits, and those limits change frequently. So Pivvi routes on **reset structure**, not exact message counts:

- **Rolling window** (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok): the limit resets on a sliding clock that won't free up for hours once you hit it. Worst to be stuck on.
- **Daily reset** (Gemini, Mistral/Le Chat, DeepSeek): resets once per day; may already be reset when you arrive.
- **Soft cap** (Microsoft Copilot, Qwen, Perplexity): no firm hard block; throttles at peak but rarely refuses.
- **No limit** (Meta AI): no consumer usage limit, only soft peak-hour throttling. Safest fallback.

When you're blocked on a rolling-window service, Pivvi sends you to a daily-reset, soft-cap, or no-limit service that likely has room right now — matched to your task type. This data is refreshed monthly.

## Best free AI by task (as of June 2026, community-tested)

- Coding: DeepSeek, then Qwen, then Gemini
- General writing: Gemini, then Meta AI, then Le Chat (Mistral)
- Long context: Gemini, then Claude
- Search / facts / research: Perplexity, then Gemini, then Copilot
- Image generation: Gemini, then Meta AI, then Copilot
- Always-available fallback (no hard limit): Meta AI, then Perplexity quick search

Note: free-tier limits are dynamic and undisclosed by vendors; numbers are community-tested ranges, not official figures, and should be read as estimates with a recent date.
