What it does not do
Brainy chats with one model, DeepSeek; you cannot pick GPT, Claude or Gemini for chat (our app Fast AI does that). It makes images, not videos (for video, Dora). It does not read PDFs or other files. Free use has daily limits, and the subscription raises them.
We compared Brainy with the other apps that chat and make images, including where they beat us, in Best AI apps for chat and image generation on iPhone.
Questions
Which AI does Brainy use?
Chat answers come from DeepSeek. Images are made with Google's Nano Banana model (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image). Both are reached through OpenRouter.
Is Brainy free?
You can download it and try chat and images for free, with daily limits. The subscription, $6.99 a week or $89.99 a year on the US App Store, raises them.
Can Brainy solve math homework from a photo?
It helps. The camera reads the problem into the chat, and you ask Brainy to explain or solve it. Check the result: AI makes mistakes, especially with long calculations.
Does Brainy make videos?
No, only images. For AI video, our app Dora turns a photo or a description into a video.
Can I choose GPT, Claude or Gemini for chat?
No. Brainy chats with DeepSeek only. If you want to switch between models from several companies, our app Fast AI does that.
Brainy is made by Saga Labs, an independent app studio.
