What is Wheelzify and how does it work?

Wheelzify is a free online decision-making tool that uses a spinning wheel to randomly select from your custom options. With built-in AI assistance and an interactive chatbot, it helps you discover options you might not have considered and makes fair, random selections. Simply add your options manually, use our AI generator, or chat with our AI assistant to get personalized suggestions, then spin to get a random result.

Is Wheelzify completely free to use?
