About the Author: Walid Ayari
Hi, I am Walid, the person behind SoftHubTools. I am an AI engineer and developer. I build and test the AI tools I write about: AI agents, RAG systems and n8n automations. I also run this site with a publishing workflow I built myself. Before AI, I spent more than 20 years in television broadcast engineering, which taught me how to make complex systems work under pressure.
What I Build
- rag-agent-api: a RAG-powered AI agent API with FastAPI, OpenAI, LangChain and vector search (Python).
- AI-News-Presenter: an AI pipeline that recreates TV news broadcasts with voice cloning and an AI presenter.
- woocommerce-project: a responsive WooCommerce storefront on WordPress, hosted on Hostinger (PHP).
- News_APP: a Kotlin news app with clean architecture and MVVM.
- Compose-Multiplatform-Book-App-kmp: one codebase for Android, iOS and desktop.
- chat-1: a chat app with Firebase real-time data and Ktor APIs.
- ecommece-mvvm-daggar-hill: an e-commerce app with Hilt, Room and Firestore.
- note-app: a note-taking app.
- choice: an AI-assisted decision app in three languages.
- Note App on Google Play: my published Android note app.
Training and Certifications
Introduction to Generative AI for Software Development (DeepLearning.AI), PMP (Project Management), plus professional certifications in AWS, NDI, Dante and SMPTE ST 2110.
How I Review Tools
I try each tool on a real task and tell you what worked, what did not, and what it costs.

🎯 Our Mission
SoftHubTools explains AI tools in plain language. Most AI reviews are written for developers and tech professionals, so we write for everyone else: beginners, freelancers and small business owners who want to understand what a tool does before they spend time or money on it.
Each guide tries to answer three questions. What is this tool? How do you start using it, step by step? And what can you realistically do with it? We aim to be honest about limits, prices and the effort involved, because learning an AI tool and earning money with it both take real work.
AI tools change quickly, so some older posts contain outdated details. We are reviewing and rewriting them one by one, starting with the posts that get the most visits.
📚 What We Cover
Our guides are organised into five areas, so you can go straight to what you need.
New here? The page How to Use SoftHubTools shows how to find the right guide for your goal.
🤖 Tools We Have Written About
Each tool below links to our guide about it. A guide explains what the tool does, how to start for free where a free plan exists, and what to expect.
✅ Our Editorial Standards
We try to keep every guide honest and useful. In practice that means:
- We do not invent statistics, earnings, testimonials or test results. If a number comes from an official source, we say so, and if we are unsure, we leave it out.
- We prefer tools with a free plan or free trial, and we tell you when a tool has no free option.
- We do not accept paid placements or sponsored rankings.
- We update or rewrite a guide when we find it is out of date. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.
Affiliate disclosure: some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not decide which tools we cover or what we say about them.
