Waitline

Free extension for Chrome, Edge & Firefox

Your AI is thinking. You could be earning.

While ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini writes its answer, Waitline shows one short sponsored line under your prompt. Advertisers pay for that line, and 50% of the money goes to you. It never reads your chats.

Realistic earnings: a dollar or two a month for a heavy user. Pocket money, not a salary.

How it works

Set up once. Then just use AI like you already do.

  1. 1

    Install and sign in

    Add the free extension, sign in with Google, and your browser is linked to your earnings account.

  2. 2

    Send a prompt

    While the AI writes its answer, one text line appears in the empty space under your message. You can close it any time.

  3. 3

    Earn on every real view

    When the line has been on your screen for about a second and a half, you earn your share. You never need to click.

Why Waitline

Turn the seconds you spend waiting for AI into money

You already stare at a loading answer dozens of times a day. Waitline uses only that dead time, and only one line of it.

Paid in real dollars

No points, coins or gift-card maths. Your balance is in dollars from your first counted view.

Private by design

The extension can't read your prompts or answers. It only notices that a reply is being written.

One line, never a pop-up

No banners, videos or redirects. One short text line in space that would otherwise sit empty.

Gone when the answer lands

The line stays only while the AI is writing, then disappears. Your reading is never interrupted.

Every ad checked by a person

Campaigns are reviewed by a human before they go live, so you won't see scams or shady offers.

Off whenever you want

Close any line with ×, pause sponsored lines from the toolbar icon, or uninstall in one click.

Where the money goes

Half of what the advertiser pays. In dollars, not points.

Advertisers pay a fixed price for every 1,000 views. We split it down the middle. Your balance is shown in real money from your first view.

An advertiser pays $2.00 for 1,000 views

You · $1.00
Waitline · $1.00
  • Earnings are held for 30 days, so we can catch fraud before anyone is paid
  • Withdraw once you have $10.00 available
  • One account per person. Bots and fake views are removed and not paid

What could you earn?

An honest estimate. It depends on how much ad space advertisers buy each month.

Privacy

We can't read your chats. And you can check.

Most browser extensions for AI tools want to see everything. Waitline is built so it doesn't need to. Read the full privacy policy.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is Waitline?

Waitline is a free browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. While ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini writes its answer, it shows one short sponsored line under your prompt, and pays you half of what the advertiser paid for that view.

How much money can I make with Waitline?

Not much per day, and we'd rather be honest about that. At a $2 price per 1,000 views, 30 prompts a day comes to about 90 cents a month. A heavy user on higher-priced ads might make a few dollars. It adds up over time; it won't pay rent.

Is Waitline safe? Can it read my ChatGPT conversations?

No, it can't read your conversations. The extension only counts how many messages are on the page and checks whether the AI's stop button is showing. It never reads your prompts or the AI's answers, never looks at your browsing history, cookies or other tabs, and only runs on chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com and the Waitline site.

Do I have to click on ads to earn?

No. You earn when the sponsored line has actually been on your screen, in a visible and focused tab, for about a second and a half. Clicking is never required.

Why do I have to wait before I can withdraw?

Every view is held for 30 days. That gives us time to spot bots and fake accounts before money leaves, which keeps advertisers paying and keeps your share fair.

How do I get paid?

Once your available balance reaches $10.00, press Withdraw on your dashboard and we send it to you. More payout methods are coming.

Does Waitline slow down ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?

No. It only adds one small line of text, and it never touches the conversation itself. If a site shows its own ad, Waitline stays out of the way.

Does it work with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini?

Yes. Waitline doesn't depend on your plan. It works the same whether you use a free or paid account, because it only reacts to the page showing that an answer is being written.

Can I turn Waitline off?

Yes. Click the Waitline icon and untick "Show sponsored lines", close any single line with the × button, or uninstall the extension.

Which browsers does Waitline support?

Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers, plus Firefox.
