A free AI is already in your WhatsApp and Google.
Meta AI in WhatsApp, Gemini in Google. Then a smarter free AI, and then one that works for you on a laptop.
Step 1. The AI is already on your phone
Meta AI lives in WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads; Gemini is already inside Google Search (AI Mode), Gmail and Maps. Tap a button: the AI opens, and our words teach you what it can do for you. In these chats it answers and helps; the thinking button is in step 2.
In WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Messenger
Meta AI
The blue circle in your chats. The button opens a chat with Meta AI in WhatsApp, with the words already written. No WhatsApp? Open meta.ai in your browser.
In Google Search, Gmail and Maps
Gemini
Gemini is already inside Google: tap AI Mode under the search box in the Google app or on google.com, or the Gemini diamond in Gmail and Maps. Copy the words, open it, paste.
ChatGPT or another AI
Already have an AI?
Copy the same words into the AI you use: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, any of them.
Step 2. A smart AI, free: install one app
More
The chats of step 1 have no thinking button. Two free apps have it: Meta AI has one button, Thinking; DeepSeek has two, DeepThink and Search. Install one of them (or open its site) and switch the button on.
Free · one button: Thinking
The Meta AI app: Thinking
Think this through step by step before you answer. My situation: [write it here in your own words]. Ask me what you need to know, then give me three options, the pros and cons of each, and the one you would choose.
Install the Meta AI app or open meta.ai, switch on Thinking, paste the words. Free, no subscription. In the same app Meta AI also makes pictures and turns a photo into a short video, free every day. Elsewhere free video is rare: Gemini makes video only on a paid plan, ChatGPT and Claude make none.
Free · two buttons: DeepThink + Search
DeepSeek: DeepThink + Search
Search the web and think it through. My question: [write it here]. Answer in plain words, show the sources you used with their dates, and tell me what you are not sure about.
Install the DeepSeek app or open chat.deepseek.com, sign in with email, Google or Apple. Switch on DeepThink (it thinks longer) and Search (fresh facts from the web), paste the words. Free, no subscription. Not available in some countries: then use Meta AI or Gemini.
Button names checked on October 18, 2026. They change, so the monthly update re-checks them.
Why a laptop, and Claude Code or Codex, are worth it
More
Muse is a secretary for errands. A laptop with Claude Code is a workshop: your whole folder at once, with a copy before every change and “put it back as it was”; your own programs and tools made for your task; plugins; work all night; a council of several AIs; almost any country. In your first week:
- a folder of papers turned into one table with every deadline
- a morning page that writes itself: what is due today, who waits for your reply
- work that runs overnight and is ready when you wake up
Where are you now?
I have a laptop and Claude or ChatGPT
Go straight to the laptop. Paste one line into Claude Code or Codex, and it teaches you step by step.
I have a laptop, but no paid plan
Start today, free: Codex works with a regular ChatGPT account, and the ChatGPT app on your phone becomes its remote. When you like it, Claude Pro is $20 a month ($17 if you pay for a year), and Claude Code comes with it. Prices checked October 18, 2026.
I have no laptop: start on your phone
A cloud agent already works from your phone: Claude Cowork and Claude Code in the cloud on a paid Claude plan, Codex in the ChatGPT app where it is switched on. The work goes on while the phone is in your pocket. A laptop adds more: your whole folder, your own programs and plugins.
Step 3. A free agent: it does the task itself (US, Canada and Mexico)
More
In the US, Canada and Mexico you can now get a free AI agent: Muse by Meta sorts your mail, fills in forms and prepares purchases, asking your “yes” before it sends or pays. Poly gives it the exact words and a second AI to check its work. Then the laptop: Claude Code builds for you, works through all your files and runs a council of AIs: the workshop, not just the secretary.
Task 1 · mail
Muse sorts your mail
Go through my inbox: group the new emails into “answer today”, “pay”, “read later” and “junk”. Draft replies to the top three and show them to me before sending. Then do the same every morning.
Task 2 · a form
Muse fills in the form
Fill in this form for me: [site or name]. Use what you already know about me; ask me only what is missing. Stop before “Submit” or “Pay” and show me a summary.
Task 3 · a purchase, up to “Pay”
Muse prepares the purchase
Find [what] under [price], compare three options, put the best one in the cart and stop before payment. Show me: price, delivery, return terms.
Your AI does the work for you, with our words
We give you the words. You paste them into the AI you already have, and it does the work for you. On the laptop, Claude Code takes over and leads you step by step. We give it a mentor: free open plugins and a guide that lives in its memory.

On your phone
Photograph a letter
Sort out these papers. If there are several photos, first group them by letter (pages of one letter together). For each: who writes and what it is; what they want from me — pay, reply, send documents or nothing; amount and deadline, if any; the first step. At the end, a list: what to do first, what can wait, what to keep, what to throw away — with dates. Do not invent deadlines or amounts. If the photo doesn’t show whether I must pay, say so. If it looks like a scam or the bank details changed — first line.
Example answer (made up)
From: City Water Dept. A bill for September, $46.10, due October 28. What they want: payment. First step: pay in your usual bank app. The bank details match your last bill; nothing looks like a scam.
Result: who wrote, what they want, how much, by when, and the first step.
On your computer
Sort out my affairs
Sort out my affairs: go through my Documents folder and make a table of bills, contracts and deadlines, with the amount, the date and the source file in every row. Draft the replies that are due. Change nothing and move nothing.
Paste it into Claude Code; the app walks you through installing it. The first lines come in 3–5 minutes, all of it in about 20. Or type /poly-start.
What you get (a made-up example)
| Due | What | Amount | Source file |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-24 | Electricity bill | $84.20 | utility-oct.pdf |
| 2026-11-02 | Car insurance renewal | $312.00 | insurance-letter.pdf |
| 2026-11-15 | Dentist: confirm the visit | — | dentist-reminder.jpg |
Result: a table of deadlines and amounts, every row tied to the file it came from.
Two pillars
Agency
An AI agent does the work for you
Orchestration
Several AIs work as one team
Pillar 1 · Agency
A chat answers. An agent does
It works in your files, step by step — and waits for your OK.
Pillar 2 · Orchestration
Several AIs. One checked answer
AIs from different companies check each other’s work: one builds the base, the others make it stronger.
Verified answerSee who added what
How pros work: Claude Code builds the base, ChatGPT gives a second opinion, Meta AI a third on hard tasks. Plus 10+ more AIs when needed.
Pillar 2 · Orchestration
One goal. Different roles
Not one AI for everything, but a team: each one does what it does best.

Searches and brings back sources.

Two worlds are merging
Code was for programmers. Agents are for everyone
Agents used to be for programmers, and chat for everyone else. In 2026 the wall came down.
- 2025
Two worlds
Programmers worked with agents. Everyone else asked ChatGPT and copied the answers by hand.
- 2026
The line blurs
Agents come to ordinary computers. They open files and the browser and call other AIs. You talk to them the way you talk to ChatGPT.
- 2027
An everyday skill
Directing agents becomes a normal skill, like email or spreadsheets. Most people haven’t started yet. You can be early.
The path
From zero to your own team of AIs
One step at a time. You start with the chat you already use.
How big is it? Right away: about an hour. The full path: 27 steps, from ≈ 5 to ≈ 105 minutes each: ≈ 31 hours in all, about 20 evenings. A phone job: a minute or two.
Your usual chat sets up the agent
ChatGPT, Gemini or Meta AI — whichever you already have. It helps you install Claude Code on your computer. Programmers work with this agent. You don't need code: you talk to it in your own words.
The agent takes your hand
From here the agent leads you itself: gets to know you, teaches, trains. We give it the lessons and steps as ready text — you just copy it in.
Agency
You hand over real work: files, documents, search. You learn to set a goal and accept the result.
Orchestration in one window
The agent opens other AIs in your browser, asks them and brings back the answers. One window, many minds.
A second voice and more
A second agent through a subscription you already have. Two agents check each other. More agents join when needed. Your subscriptions become tools, not a line on your statement you forgot about.
Your phone is the remote
The computer at home works, and you run it from your phone. When you’re back, everything is done.
The path keeps growing. AI changes every week: we test what’s new and add the steps that work.
Why Poly
Start free. Add a paid agent only if you need it.
If you already pay for an AI agent (Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Work — paid AI plans from about $20 a month; free tiers exist), Poly shows you how to get much more out of it. If you don't, start free here: the phone jobs, Duo and Trio, the open plugins and the first 8 laptop steps cost nothing.
Free cross-check of 2–3 AIs
- Free bridge: begin at no cost, and add a paid agent only when you need it.
- Free cross-check: two or three AIs from different companies check each other, with no account.
- Copy, confirm, put it back: a copy before every change, and “put it back as it was” always works.
- Fresh: every step carries its own check date against the official documentation; last review: October 18, 2026.
- 11 languages, the same path in each.
- Private: no account. Your photos and texts stay with you. One button erases everything.
Also on your computer
- Ask your laptop from your phone: Claude Code keeps working at home, and you steer it from the phone.
- Mail and calendar on your computer — your agent, your accounts, nothing passes through us.
- A cold critic checks your work: a fresh AI that has not seen your draft looks for what is wrong.
- One command to start: in Claude Code, type /poly-start.
For people who don’t code. And for people who do
Everyday people
No code. Plain words. From business owners to students.
Programmers
Combine several AIs and get work you can rely on.
Companies
The right AI for each task, one AI checking another, clear rules for data.
Who is behind this
The project’s lead, Vadym Chernets, PhD, is recognized by Intel as an expert and practitioner, and released a training handbook with the support of the United Nations. Two people who worked with him tell their story — Josh Mulford (U.S. Department of Defense, DTRA) and Boaz Rahav (CFO, Hypersonic Force).
Questions
Do you teach me how to use AI?
We don't teach you. Your AI does, using our words. You tap a button, the AI opens, and our words make it show you what it can do for you.
Why use this if Claude Cowork or ChatGPT Work already exist?
Poly is free, needs no account, and has AIs from several companies check each other. It keeps a copy before every change and can put it back, and you learn on your own papers. If you already pay for an agent, we show how to get much more from it.
Is this just a pile of prompts?
No. It is not 1,900 prompts but a path: you do a step, see a result, and go on. The AI asks before every payment (it buys on its own only within the limit you set, and only if you turn it on) and keeps a copy before it changes a file.
Facts you can check
- On Google Play now: the Android app.
- 11 languages, the same path in each.
- Every step checked against the official documentation on October 18, 2026.
- No account. Your photos and texts stay with you.
