Today, I'm gonna show you how to use Claude Code for free. And this is a really powerful, easy way that you can basically get free access to an API that helps you use over 70 different models. And then from there, you can start using whatever you want using the system. So the GitHub that we're looking at here is Omniroot. And with Omniroot, you can plug that into free Claude Code, which is another free open source project. So we're plugging two separate systems together to get access to free Claude Code so that we can build and automate anything for free. Now, let me show an example of this in action. So if we go inside here, we can ask via a big pickle, which is a free API. We can plug into this. So if we say, OK, build out just a totally random example, we can say, OK, build out a snake game, classic AI bro test right there. And it's going to start using it as so. Now, this is using GitHub called Omniroot. Omniroot is a free way that you can use loads of different providers. Now, you might say, OK, how do you set this up? How do you use it? Blah, blah, blah. Show me how to do it. The reason I don't show much of how to do things anymore is because everything goes around one thing. All you need to do is literally grab this GitHub and then you're going to get the free Claude Code GitHub, right? So you get free Claude Code and then you get Omniroot and you plug them together. And with that system, you have free Claude Code forever. So you can see that it's literally come back to us and created our project over here. And if we open this up, we'll just open it up locally. We can start playing our game and it's coding out for free locally. Now, you might be wondering, OK, how does all of this work together? Like basically, when you're using Omniroot, it's a free AI gateway, which means that you can code for free forever. You can connect every AI tool to over 237 providers, over 90 of them are free, and this runs through one local endpoint. Now, with the free Claude Code project, that basically has the exact same harness, so it's not changing anything when it comes to Claude Code. Claude Code is already installed. And then what you're going to do is you are going to plug that local endpoint from Omniroot and put it directly into free Claude Code. And between the two of them, you can use free Claude Code for free. And also the amazing thing about this as well is when you're using it, loads of these are actually free forever. And you don't just have to use it with Claude Code. You can use it with Codex, Cursor, Client, Copilot, Anti-Gravity. And that can work with free Claude Code. It can work with GPT. It can work with Gemini. And it's auto-fallback. What auto-fallback means is like if I'm coding with a free API normally, so for example, let's say you were using something like our alpha previously. If you're using something like our alpha, quite often it would get rate limited. And what that means is when it's rate limited, you can't use the API anymore. It just runs out of tokens. It's like, sorry, mate, we can't keep coding anymore. With this system, keeps coding, it doesn't stop, and it just keeps running over and over and over again. And so when an API gets rate limited, which it will, you know, lots of these APIs inside Omniroot will get rate limited, no problem. It's going to automatically in the back end without disrupting any of your code, start coding with a separate endpoint. And the other cool thing about this as well is that a lot of these are actually free, free tokens. So you get, there was actually 1.6 billion documented free tokens per month, up to 2.1 billion in your first month as well, which is pretty cool as well. And that's how it works. You might be wondering, okay, what are these free tokens? So you can see a bunch of examples over here and how they work. And also the interesting thing about this is when you're using free APIs with all of this system, well, the cool thing is that it uses RTK and it uses Caveman. These are two separate token saving machines to reduce the amount of tokens so you can keep coding for longer for free. So let's try out another example here. If we say like build a beautiful landing page, for example, it will just start coding in the background and we can come back to that in a second. Also, what's really good about this is not only can you use it via Omniroot inside Claude Code, but we can also use this inside Codex and you can use it inside Hermes. You got many different options for coding agents and free coding harnesses that you can plug this through. So we've got, for example, free Claude Code inside our agent operating system that can use Omniroot. And then we also have Codex, which also uses Omniroot. And we can just select that from the drop down over here. And also what we can do from there is we can also use the Omniroot section. And the Omniroot section allows us to code inside the chat for free as well. And then we've got like three different coding agents all lined up inside our agent operating system ready to go. We have free Claude Code, we have Codex, we have Omniroot as well. So what we're doing with the Omniroot coder, as you can see here, is we can plug in a prompt. We see the preview and then we've got our saved builds. And if you're wondering, how did we build this? Literally all I did, and you can do the same if you're watching this, is you can go into Claude Code and you can say, listen, mate, I want to use Omniroot. I want to make sure that you create a preview where we can code inside the left-hand side. I see a preview on the right-hand side and we see a saved workspace underneath. And if you just keep iterating on that and you tell Claude exactly what you want, test it, iterate it, give it feedback on what it doesn't do right, then it will eventually build it. If you want my set up, you can get it inside the AI Project Boarding. But if you want to do it yourself, you can do it using this system, which is really, really cool. And so we've now got the landing page, as you can see here, and we have Claude Code, sorry, OpenAI Codecs as well, that can run with this. You can also plug in other APIs into FreeClaude Code as well. So if you want to keep using FreeClaude Code, and let's say you want to test out different things, these are some of the stuff we built with it by the way, then you can actually go into FreeClaude Code and you can plug in a different API. Like for example, HY3 from Tencent Hanyuan. So that works with OpenRouter. And if we type in HY3 inside the settings here, we can use HY3 that is going away in 10 days on July the 21st. But that means you got 10 days of free coding. And guess what? By that point, there'll be more free coding options. So what I've noticed with OpenRouter is quite often they have these free API offers. This is one example. And then every couple of weeks, every month, you'll see at least one or two free APIs, you can plug into a system like this. So just to recap, we can use free Claude Code because we've got an open source project. Then we can plug in HY3 or Omniroot into it, or we can plug in a local model as well. They all work for the exact same harness, the differences, the brain that you choose behind it. Then you could also use it inside your own Omniroot coder, as you can see right here. So we can code on the left-hand side, we can preview on the right-hand side. We also did the same thing with HY3. So we have exactly the same system, but we just plugged HY3 into it as well, which means that we can get even more free tokens from our Agent Operating System. And then additionally, what this is using is RTK, Caveman and 90 free providers so we can use with this stuff. And we can also plug that into Codex. And then we basically have a full Agent Operating System for free, right? Because we can use Hermes Agent as well for free with HY3 and Omniroot as well. Pretty amazing stuff. That is something that is really easy to set up. You can ask Claude to set up or you can get my setup from the Agent OS if you don't want to code it yourself. And also the cool thing about using it inside an Agent OS is like I can just flick between these. So I could have Omniroot coding in the background and then HY3 coding on something else. Then I can have free Claude Code working on something else. And then we could have, for example, Codex working on something else as well. Right. So four different agents all coding out for free in the background, builds in amazing stuff, which means we get four times more done, four times more productive. And then if we have a look inside the memory system as well, every time we're using any of these agents, it gets automatically logged into our Obsidian database. And then once we've done that, our agents have more context about who we are, what we do and everything else. So that's basically it. Now, if you want to get my full setup, you can get that inside the AI Profit Boardroom. Link in the comments and description or just go to the aiprofitboardroom.com. And if you want the agent operating system that I've built, you could build it yourself. I spend about three to four hours a day improving every single day. So if you just want to get my setup, you can get it right here inside the AI Profit Boardroom. And this is the Agent OS. You can also get our new daily tutorials and playbooks to help you as much as you can. Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support in real time. And I personally answer these questions with a video tutorial. Inside the calendar, you can jump a week coaching course, get help and support, ask questions, share your screen, meet awesome people. You can direct message me as well anytime you need help. And then inside the map, you can meet people who are in your local area building with AI agents like you. And we have people all over the world who are really deep into this sort of stuff. And then additionally, if you want to get all of our best trainings, you can get that over here. So for example, if you're a complete beginner, you can go from beginner to expert over here. If you want to get our new daily updates, you can get that over here. And if you want our tutorials and everything else, you can get that as well. And also what I will say about this is like, if you sign up now, this community just improves all the time. So we actually have a change log where we show you all the improvements we've made over time. And it's just rapidly evolving, rapidly becoming better and better. So if you want to be part of it, would love to see you inside there. Feel free to get it. Link in the comments description or just go to the aiprofitborne.com. Thanks for watching.
