## About

TheToolBus is a site of free online tools that also runs an AI Directory for founders of AI tools. Its submit page at https://www.thetoolbus.ai/ai-tools/submit lists AI tools under the categories AI Tools, Business Tools, Media Tools, Marketing Tools, Developer Tools and Other. To submit, a founder enters a tool name, website URL, category, pricing model (Free, Freemium, Paid or Enterprise), a short description and an email address, then clicks Submit Tool. A directory listing is labelled Free and appears in the AI Directory after manual review. The site says it will get back to founders within a few days. A homepage banner, featured in the hero carousel, is labelled Sponsored and the site shows no price for it. The About page invites sponsorship to put a product in front of users, also without a price.
