Get paid for waiting.
Your coding agent already shows a status line while it thinks. AI Kickbacks turns that unused wait state into a tiny sponsored message and shares the revenue with you.
The wait state is unused space.
Every agent narrates itself while it works. Developers read that line - today it earns nothing.
A status-line revenue share for agent wait states.
If you are looking for ways to get paid while Claude Code or another coding agent waits, AI Kickbacks is an opt-in daemon focused on one-line status sponsorships.
Install in one command
Run the daemon alongside Claude Code during the beta. You stay in control.
Status-line only
Ads appear during real coding-agent waits and disappear when the agent finishes.
Privacy-forward payouts
Viewable five-second windows create a 50% developer share without code, prompt, or completion access.
A quiet handshake.
Opt in
Per-developer, fully opt-in. Nothing else in your workflow changes.
One line appears
During a real wait, the status line names a sponsor - and never blocks the result.
It counts when viewable
After a five-second view, you earn a 50% share.
One line. Native to the wait.
Always one line
Fits the status row, or it is not served. No wrapping, no media, no expansion.
Only during a real wait
Inventory exists while the agent works. The moment the result lands, the line is gone.
Relevant, not noise
Built for developer-tool sponsors, so the line reads more like a tip than an ad.
Get paid for waiting.
Opt in, keep coding, and earn from every viewable line.
npx @ai-kickbacks/kickbacks-aiView package on npmReach developers in flow.
A one-line sponsorship at a moment they are already waiting - measured only when viewable.
Developer-native
Inside the tools they trust - not a feed they ignore.
High-intent, calm
A focused audience, waiting on a result. No noise.
One tasteful line
A single sponsored line that names you. Nothing more.
Measurement without surveillance.
We only need to know whether a line was viewable - never what you are building.
- Whether a line was viewable for five seconds
- Aggregate, privacy-forward measurement
- Your opt-in status
- Source code, files, or repositories
- Prompts, completions, or chat content
- Anything in or out of the agent
