Every time you use ChatGPT or Claude, you wait. Usually 3 to 8 seconds. That's it. That's the idea. uwait is a Chrome extension that shows a curated ad during that loading screen. You get a small cut. The publishers whose content trained the AI get a cut too. The advertiser gets your attention at a moment when you're actually paying attention. The split: 50% to users, 30% to publishers, 20% to us. We're picky about advertisers. Just brands that make sense in that context.
uwait is a Chrome extension that turns the loading screen of AI chatbots into a revenue stream. Every time you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, there's a 3-to-8-second pause while the model generates a response. uwait fills that gap with a curated ad, and you earn a cut of the bid. The split is 50% to you, 30% to the publishers whose content trained the AI, and 20% to the platform. Advertisers bid in real time for each slot, and the highest bid wins instantly.
Every time you ask a question, advertisers bid live for that single slot. The highest bid wins in milliseconds, and the ad slides in without blocking the answer. You see the bid amount update in your wallet instantly.
No extra steps, no new workflows. Install the extension, keep using ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity as you normally would, and money accumulates in your wallet from the seconds you already wait. The extension shows your current balance and recent earnings.
30% of every ad bid goes to the sources cited in the AI's response. This means the websites, articles, and creators that trained the model get paid in real time, creating a direct financial link between AI usage and content value.
uwait is selective about which ads appear. Only brands that make sense in the context of the user's query and the AI's response are allowed. The ad placement is native and unobtrusive, appearing in the loading area without disrupting the final answer.
"The seconds you already wait become money, paid to you and to the sources behind each answer."
This is the core insight: the loading screen isn't a bug, it's an asset. uwait monetizes a moment that every AI user experiences dozens of times a day, but that no one else has turned into a revenue opportunity. The real-time auction model means each slot is valued dynamically, and the split ensures that both the user and the content creators benefit directly. It's a rare example of a browser extension that pays you for doing nothing different.
You use ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity regularly and want those waiting seconds to earn you passive income. You're a publisher or creator who wants a share of the revenue generated by AI models trained on your work. You're an advertiser seeking a high-attention, low-friction placement during a moment when users are actively engaged.
