Summary
Run Claude Code for FREE (Step-by-Step Setup with Free Claude Code + OpenRouter/OwlAlpha)The video explains how to run Claude Code for free by installing an open-source tool called Free Claude Code, which acts as a middleman between Claude Code and various model providers. It demonstrates a five-step setup: install the helper via a terminal command, launch the control-panel dashboard, add a provider/model (example: OpenRouter with OwlAlpha) by generating and pasting an API key, run Claude Code using the Free Claude Code terminal command, and optionally connect everything to a “mission control” agent operating system for better visibility into chats, projects, and builds. It notes supported options like Ollama, LM Studio, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, NVIDIA, Kimi, OpenCode, and ZAI, and suggests using the setup for websites, tools, content, and client work, with an invitation to join the AI Profit Boardroom for a packaged system and tutorials. 00:00 Free Claude Code Overview 00:14 Install and Launch Dashboard 01:05 Choose Models and Providers 01:27 Why Use OwlAlpha 02:08 How Free Claude Code Works 02:38 Five Step Setup Guide 03:16 Mission Control Dashboard 04:00 Agent OS Benefits 04:54 What You Can Build 05:11 Community and Full Setup 05:54 Final Thanks and Goodbye
