What you actually get
A tool page with a screenshot, an icon and an Open button carrying rel="noopener" and no nofollow, once the person running the site gets to it. The confirmation says you will be told by email when it is live; no review time is published and the submit page says they are swamped.

How to submit to AI Navbar

  1. Read the rules
    Three rules sit above the form: AI-focused only, no bot submissions (the site says it will not process automated entries and may ban the IP), and a working email.
  2. One form
    Tool name capped at 30 characters, tool URL, email, then a 16:9 screenshot and a square icon. Both images are converted and resized on upload and each preview shows a Ready badge with the new dimensions.
  3. Submit
    Submit Tool answers 'Submission Successful' and says the review is by hand and the result comes by email. No time is given.

Gotchas

The site says in its own words that it does not process automated entries and that mass bot submissions may trigger IP bans, so this is a form to fill yourself or to watch being filled, not one to leave running.
A temporary or non-working email is flagged as spam, so the address on the form has to be one somebody reads.
Cryptocurrency platforms are refused outright, alongside NSFW and gambling.
