How to Run Claude Code for Free Forever (1M Context Tokens + Agent OS Memory Stack)The script explains how to use an open-source project called Free Claude Code to run the Claude Code CLI for free by routing it to alternative model providers, specifically a free one-million-token context model called OwlAlpha on OpenRouter. It demonstrates the setup inside a custom “Agent Operating System” dashboard that unifies multiple AI agents (e.g., Claude, OpenClaude, Hermes, Gemini) with persistent memory and tools via an Obsidian vault, plus workflows like SEO tools, a studio for video/image/TTS generation, Kanban task management, journals, and status monitoring. The presenter outlines a four-pillar stack (model, Free Claude Code, memory/connections, dashboard), addresses common myths about Claude Code and free models, and directs viewers to a paid AI Profit Boardroom for guides, prompts, files, coaching calls, and community support.00:00 Free Claude Code Hook00:42 Live Demo In Agent OS02:03 What Free Claude Code Is02:55 Routing Models With OpenRouter03:46 Agent OS Explained05:41 Four Pillar Stack06:29 Obsidian Memory Engine08:34 Six Myths Debunked11:23 Why Agent OS Wins13:22 Recap And Next Steps14:09 Boardroom Offer And Support15:09 Community Proof And Wrap

Imagine running Claude code for free. Well, that's exactly what I'm going to show you today with 1 million tokens of context Wired into your memory your tools and all of your other AI agents including for example Hermes or open claw other agents like this now I set this up and it literally changed everything There's actually a free open source version of Claude code that plugs into free AI models and open router and when you combine these two Things which is what I'll show you exactly how to do today You'll get a Claude code setup that is free and gets more powerful every single day So in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to build it So stick with me until the end because the way this connects to your other AI agents is the most powerful part I'll show you exactly how to do it today. He's out to use Claude code free forever So what you can see over here inside my agent OS is that we have Claude code set up for free And this is using free Claude code. So for example, we say are you working says?
Yes, I'm working. I'm ready to help you have any questions you need tasks, etc Organizes you today. No, she said said the words first and blah blah blah right now. We can actually use a Version that's been rewritten and remade for Claude code and it's open source and free Plus we can plug in a free API into that and then we can use this in a really powerful setup So I'm going to show you a simple system that runs a Claude code CLI for free And why is it into your context your memory your bolts your tools so you get the same Claude code experience?
But you get it for free and it's powered by a free API called our alpha which is a free 1 million context Token model designed for agentic work, right? So you basically own the stack and you can plug it into all your other AI agents You can see for example, we have open core. We have Hermes. We have Gemini.
We have anti-gravity of Claude code We have our goal set up We have SEO tools inside here a full studio for generating videos images and text-to-speech Notebook LM with videos and podcasts ready to go. We've got a camera board full of agent systems, right crazy powerful stuff And I'm going to show you exactly how you can build this out today and how you can set this up with free Claude code So let's get into this. What is it about cetera? How can you get to use it?
So basically what we use in here is this open source project is called free Claude code It's based on a way of using Claude code CLI, but with a different API So it roots the messages to any provider that you want now Why does that matter basically you get the full power the full agent harness of Claude code? But you get it for free now because you can plug it into a free API. How do you get a free API? You can use something called our right our alpha is a free API You can use of these AI agents and then you can plug it into Claude code and boom shakalaka You have a free Claude code ready to go whenever you need it Now it gets way more interesting than that, but that's basically the basics You've got Claude code for free open source ready to go on github And then you also have our alpha which is free ready to go plug into free Claude code.
Pretty cool All right. So let me guide you through the whole process now. Let's talk about this So most people think Claude code only works one way They think that for example, you have to use anthropic to use it They think the CLI is locked to one model provider and they think if they want to switch to a free model They have to give up the Claude code experience entirely None of that is true because there's an open source project called free Claude code which you can see over here and with this essentially it's basically a way of routing Claude code CLI to whatever models you want including free models And the free model that we're using today is our alpha now alpha has 1 million token context window native tool use It's built for AI agents and it's currently free on open router So when you plug free Claude code into your agent operating system, which we've got over here You get a Claude code CLI that is free and a brain that remembers everything, right? So you might be wondering.
Okay, what is agent operating system? So this is a system that builds like a mission control dashboard, right? And so we've got Claude We've got open Claude. We've got Hermes.
We've got our goals journals, etc we can click on any one of these and just Switch between all of our AI agents and the cool thing about this is for example, we can actually Create these different tools and workflows based on that, right? so everything links together and instead of going from Hermes in one terminal to Claude code and another terminal to for example Open claw on your gateway and they're messing around with anti-gravity that that which is not very efficient Super time consuming you can just plug all this into one system. So Let me break down the plain english translation You have Claude code CLI the official terminal tool from anthropic for coding with AI Then you have free Claude code, which is an open source way to access Claude code with free API providers You have our alpha which is free 1 million context window model on open router designed for agentic workloads For example, you could use this with Hermes open claw kilo code root code And then you have agent operating system, which is a custom dashboard The wraps the Claude code CLI and gives you memory contacts vaults journals kanban boards, etc For your AI agent teams in one place, right? It looks beautiful as well Now if you want to build your own agent operating system You can you could actually use free Claude code to help you do that If you want my setup for doing this if you want for example The zip files the prompts that I used to build this beautiful dashboard everything else Then we have an awesome video tutorial all the prompts inside this guide and also the zip file inside the AI profit border Most people are using AI like it's 2024.
They're paying for models. You don't need to they're paying for using CLI So you don't need to right whereas you can plug in these free APIs, which is what you're learning about today And then you can use the power of Claude code, but with the free Claude code CLI, it's pretty amazing So I also want to talk to you about the Goldie stack here as well, right? So the cool thing about this is you have the CLI working locally You have the API and you have your own memory and your own connections to your own tools, right? And so you have this sort of four pillar stack like you can see right here Where it's you Claude code and that goes over to our alpha and this is an agent operating system In between that connects everything together.
So you got your memory your contacts your obsidian seo studio video studio, right? Kanban journal everything built in like you can see inside the agent operating system And so there's four pillars to this like I've said, right? So number one is the brain which is our alpha That's the model is free 1 million token context window supports native tool use then you have free code which helps you use different models with Claude code you have the memory and connections, which is Obsidian basically if you're not sure about this what it means, etc. You can see an example of it here, right?
So this is basically like a map of all of my knowledge, right? Everything linked together, which is pretty amazing and it goes really deep as you can see right here You can see like all the people that we work with you can see everything about me You can see for example the tools that are used inside this knowledge base, right? This is actually linked to obsidian and it can pull Different memories and give all of my ai agents across all of my stacks Full access and context for me right now. You might say why is that important essentially?
Asian operating system puts this all in a custom dashboard So free claude code shows up as its own agent in the sidebar here And then any conversations you have of it are saved to obsidian. The memory is persistent And it's wired into your obsidian vault, right? And basically this becomes the brain, right? And the cool thing about this is the more you improve your memory by using these ai agents The better the memory becomes the better the memory becomes the more powerful and the more context your agents are going to get Right, and that's what it's about really It's about having just an amazing system to to train all of your ai agents everything in your life So that it can give you custom automations, right?
So if I go over to hermes or any of these other ai agents and i'm like, you know What are the best things I could automate today? It can just scroll through my memory and be like mate Why are you spending all your time on this go and automate that and it has that context that no one else can have it I actually call that the infinite context engine and it's basically set up with this process right here You see we've got a full guide and a video tutorial on how to use it right there now Why does this framework matter? Basically you Have an open source cli right you have a free model you have a memory and it gives you a lot of freedom Right, which is really powerful. I can customize this dashboard way more than I could for example, like customize cloud code desktop I just I can't customize or code desktop.
It's not open source Now some people will never try this In fact, most people watching this probably never try this because they believe the wrong things, right? So i'm going to break six myths on this right now based on what i'm talking about So number one some people say cloud code only works for anthropic. You have to pay per token Actually cloud code talks to any model right and you can root cloud code to any model including Our alpha which is free on open router. Some people say free models a week.
They're useless progenetic work Actually, the right belief here is like our alpha is 1 million tokens of context native to all use It's purpose built for agents and you got hermes you got open claw kilo code root code all run on it for production So it's pretty good other people say setting this up sounds scary Honestly one command can install it You can actually just go into for example Like claude and get it set up for you If you want if you're not sure how to get started or just follow the instructions on the page right here Right other people say if I leave Claude at least my chat history and everything else Actually, you get a better memory and a better persistent memory using the obsidian system that i've given you here, right? This is way more powerful way more useful This is going to outlast any other tool because it's all belonging to me, right? this is a full system a full memory setup that we've got right here and we can Just organize it and we can have all of our memories and our notes put together Easily in one place right and whether I switch to gemini or anti-gravity. Let's say something new comes out tomorrow Boom, we can plug in the memory system seriously powerful.
But I hear says Could you please provide a link on how agent os was created? So you can check out the link to the in the comments inscription to the alpha boarding or just go to the air profitable.com And then you just navigate inside the classroom and go over to this section and you can find the agent os System right here, right with the full setup guide the video tutorial that shows how I created anything else now Some people say okay our alpha will disappear and i'll be stuck Actually, there's new providers that free coming out all the time, right? So noose research, for example, they had one last week, which was quen 3.6 And now they've just released another one, which was step 3.5, right? So there's new models coming out all the time and you can just plug any of them into a free core code So basically the cost of running ai is collapsing, right people who set up the right architecture today Basically have a free ai stack forever, right?
now this is really cool because when it comes to The free part here a free cloud code is open source under a mit license And our alpha is a free model and open router, right? And that's how we get both of this for free and also the other cool thing about this is whilst other people Are running out of tokens and limits on on cloud code because they're on the plans You're running the same cli for the same workflow, but you're doing it for free, right? You basically help yourself reduce costs and all this setup requires Less less resources essentially to set up, right? We've got a full setup guide here as you can see i've shown you proof that actually works And you might also say why would you use free cloud code inside agent operating system?
The cli alone is powerful undeniably, but the cli inside agent os is like a different category of thing because inside agent os Free cloud code becomes its own agent at the sidebar right sitting next to your other ai agents So we've got open core hermes gemini antigravity free cloud code again, whatever comes out tomorrow We can plug in and so you can click it see a chat panel It feels and looks so simple and easy, but you've got everything stored there, right? So if I create any websites with for example antigravity You can see that i've got everything plugged in here and I can preview it whenever I want And so it's all connected to everything else inside your agent os. So you have also inside here You've got the persistent memory so conversations survive page refreshes and taps switches, right? You have obsidian so the agent can read and write your obsidian notes Every conversation can update your knowledge base.
Then you have your contacts you can actually Wire in your contacts and everything else you can add in your calendar and schedule You've also got the studio section here so you can generate images videos and speech all through this stack, right? And then also we've got the kanban board here So we've got a multi-agent task management system where basically you can drop a one-liner in triage And then watch the orchestrator hand out tasks and automate it On top of that we have the auto logged journal diaries over here, right? So we have these journals here So the agent reads yesterday's journal to plan today and we have a live status section here So we can just make sure everything's working and connected properly inside the dashboard as well, right? And so the other cool thing about this is like you don't have to learn a new cli You don't have to manage api keys.
You don't have to copy and paste between apps You just open agent operating system click free cloud code in the sidebar and ask anything, right? And that could be memory contacts for general. They're all available in one single chat So we've actually got a full step-by-step guide and if you want to set this up and install it, etc It's all inside the ai profit boardroom just to recap here in terms of everything in one glance Everything that you just learned so you got pillar one, which is our alpha which is a free model You've got free cloud code, which is the free open source cli you have agent operating system Which wraps a stack with memory contacts of all your other agents in the journal You also know that the more you build into this system and when you create it yourself You can improve it every day, right? So it's a system that just gets better and better so for example One thing that I built in recently was being able to create seo content and then just deploy it to all my websites Like you can see right here, right and these websites are ranking pretty nicely with seo So that's the sort of stuff you can build in as you improve it more and more over time And then this is all free as I mentioned before and you've also got like this the skills and everything else, right?
So you have the studio the kanban the journal all on the free stack So thanks for watching if you want to get the full guide from today the setup instructions, etc We've got that all inside the ai profit boardroom. Like you can see here We have the agent operating system video tutorial prompts and files that you can give to claude to set up And that's all inside the ai profit boardroom inside the community You can ask questions get help and support whenever you need to inside the classroom You can get all of my new free trainings like you see here So all my trainings on the new stuff like for example the daily updates where we add new advanced daily tutorials We have the beginner to expert a automation guide here We have all of the automations I personally use and then we additionally have an ai seo section here as well Now inside the calendar you can jump on weekly coaching course We have four weekly coaching course per week inside the map You can actually meet people in your local area doing similar things to you And this is all available inside the air profitable link in the comments description Or go to the aiprofitboardroom.com to get access if you have any questions as you go along feel free to ask And by the way, you might be saying okay this works for you julian. That's great for you But what about everyone else? What about like people who are not using ai all day?
You can see some examples We have 159 pages of testimonials and wins from our community members So the great thing about this is i've seen so many people Who have never used ai before get amazing results and just automate whatever they want So this stuff when you have the right systems is really powerful It's just about making sure that you have the right systems and the right community and the right support systems in place To help you as much as you can which is what you get
