r/learnAIAgents: free programs to make an AI agent or assistant

The honest answer: it depends on how much building you want to do — Voiceflow and Botpress have real free tiers for zero-code assistants, n8n is free self-hosted, OpenClaw covers the open-source route, and the free tiers of Muse or ChatGPT go surprisingly far for the no-setup experience. Start with whatever runs this weekend.
