For CopilotGet paid while Copilot thinks
Microsoft Copilot is the assistant woven through your work day. uwait is a free Chrome extension that turns the few seconds Copilot spends answering on copilot.microsoft.com into money, without changing anything about how you work.
Your work day
The AI that sits in your workflow
Copilot is there for the small tasks that fill a working day: a summary, a draft, a quick lookup, a rewrite. Each time you ask on copilot.microsoft.com, there is a short beat while Copilot reads and starts to answer. That beat repeats across the day. uwait turns it into revenue.
You ask Copilot to summarise a long thread before a meeting. While it reads on copilot.microsoft.com, the wait becomes a paid slot.
You hand Copilot a rough draft to tighten. It thinks for a moment, and that moment lands in your wallet.
You ask a quick how-to. The seconds Copilot takes to answer are no longer free.
You already spend these seconds waiting on Copilot. uwait is the only thing that asks why that wait should be free. The same quiet income shows up everywhere uwait runs, but this page is about the Copilot one.
The mechanism
How does the money appear?
The moment Copilot starts composing a reply on copilot.microsoft.com, advertisers bid in real time for that single wait-time slot. The winning ad shows up as one discreet native placement while Copilot is already thinking. It never delays, covers or blocks your answer.
Every winning bid is split automatically: the largest share goes to you, a slice becomes royalties for the public sources the answer drew on, and the rest keeps the marketplace running. The exact split and the full walkthrough live on how it works.
You collect your balance over time and withdraw it to your bank through Stripe once you pass the payout minimum. See the extension for what gets installed, or how earners cash out on publishers.
Privacy
uwait never reads your Copilot conversations
uwait is deliberately blind to your content. It detects only that Copilot has started generating, and which public domains the answer cited. Your prompts and Copilot's replies never leave your device and are never read.
Ad targeting uses only coarse, anonymised signals; nothing you type into Copilot is ever part of it. The exact data boundary is written out on prompts and privacy, with more in the FAQ.
Give back
The sources behind Copilot get paid too
When Copilot grounds an answer in a real page from the open web, uwait routes part of that wait-time slot back to the site it cited, as royalties. The web that keeps Copilot useful keeps earning from it. You can also add a small tip of your own on top.
See how the automatic royalty and the optional tip fit together on fund the sources.
One extension
It pays you on every other assistant too
Copilot covers your work day, but plenty of your questions go elsewhere. The same free extension pays you on those chatbots as well, so you earn wherever you happen to wait.
It is all one install. Get it from the extension page and it covers Copilot and every other supported chatbot at once.
Common questions
Copilot and uwait FAQ
Does it work on copilot.microsoft.com in the browser?
Yes. Copilot at copilot.microsoft.com in the browser is exactly where uwait runs. The free Chrome extension notices when Copilot starts composing a reply, fills the wait with one discreet native ad, and pays you a share of the winning bid. Nothing about how you use Copilot changes.
Does it work with Copilot inside Windows or Microsoft 365?
Right now uwait pays you on the web at copilot.microsoft.com. Copilot also shows up inside Windows and Microsoft 365 apps; those are not paid slots yet. The browser experience is where uwait is live, and that is the moment we focus on first.
Is it free to use with Copilot?
Completely free. You install the Chrome extension at no cost, keep using Copilot the way you always have, and start earning a share of every wait-time slot. There is no subscription and no fee taken from you. You withdraw your balance to your bank through Stripe once you pass the payout minimum.
