About KaibiganGPT
Your AI-powered friend for life's everyday challenges
Our Mission
KaibiganGPT exists to democratize access to AI-powered tools that simplify daily life. Born from Filipino values of hospitality, community support, and helpfulness, we believe technology should be accessible, intelligent, and completely free for everyone who needs it. We're not just building tools β we're creating a digital friend that's always ready to help.
Meet the Founder
Ant Real
Parent, Developer, and Chief Kaibigan
I'm Ant Real, a parent, developer, and the creator behind KaibiganGPT. My journey into building free, accessible tools started from a simple idea: to use technology to solve everyday problems for my family and community.
As a developer with a passion for AI and financial technology, I was inspired by my Filipino heritage to create a platform that embodies the spirit of 'bayanihan'βcommunity and mutual support. KaibiganGPT is the result: a collection of smart, simple, and free tools designed to empower users, especially fellow Filipinos, with the resources they need for financial planning, productivity, and more.
My commitment is to keep these tools open and accessible to everyone, without logins or paywalls. Your support helps me continue this mission, building more helpful resources for our global community.
Why "Kaibigan"?
"Kaibigan" is the Tagalog word for "friend." In Filipino culture, a true kaibigan is someone who's always there when you need them, offering help without expecting anything in return, and making your life easier with genuine care. That's exactly what we aim to be for our users worldwide.
Whether you're planning meals on a tight budget, calculating financial projections, summarizing documents for work or study, crafting professional emails, converting currencies for travel, or getting technology recommendations β we're here to help, just like a good friend would, 24/7.
