# Token Thrift

> Anonymous Q&A for teams rolling out AI at work, plus AI tool deals and startup credits checked on vendor pages. The site is https://tokenthrift.io.

Token Thrift is mainly Ask, an anonymous Q&A for teams rolling out AI at work. It also keeps a directory of AI tool deals and startup credits, and The weekly briefing, an independent weekly newsletter. Some deal links are affiliate links, and they never change the order deals are listed in. Sponsored notes are labeled. Deal terms were checked on each vendor page, most recently on 2026-10-28. Expired deals stay in the files and drop off the default directory the day after the expiry date.
