uwait

uwait is a browser extension that turns the seconds you spend waiting for AI responses into cash. Install it, and every time you ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity a question, a small ad appears during the thinking moment. You earn money from that view — the advertiser pays, and you get a share. The page shows a live ticker of current campaigns, with CPM rates ranging from about €1.35 to €6.00 per thousand views. It's a simple idea: instead of staring at a loading spinner, you see a sponsored message and get paid.

How does it work? Advertisers bid on a public market for ad slots that appear inside the AI interface during wait times. uwait shows the current market price (blended CPM of €2.57 at the time of writing) and lists live campaigns. To start earning, you download the extension, log in, and that's it. The extension works with the most popular AI chatbots, and you can see your earnings accumulate. For advertisers, the process is even simpler: fill in your ad, pay your budget, and after a quick review, it goes live. No account needed.

Who benefits most? Regular users of AI chatbots who want to make a little passive income from something they already do. Advertisers who want to reach a tech-savvy audience that's actively using AI tools — they get attention during a moment when the user is waiting, not scrolling away. It's a straightforward marketplace: users monetize their time, advertisers get focused impressions, and uwait takes a cut. No hype, just a practical trade.
