Frequently asked questions
uwait is a free Chrome extension that pays you while ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini generate an answer. Each winning bid is split 50% to you, 30% to the cited sources, and 20% to the platform, and you cash out through Stripe.

You install the free uwait extension and keep using the AI chatbots you already use. While the model is generating a reply, a discreet native ad fills those seconds of waiting, and your share of the winning bid is credited to your uwait wallet.
Your balance builds up across every answer. Once you pass the payout minimum, you cash out to your bank account through Stripe.
No. uwait never reads your prompts or the AI's answers. The extension only detects that a reply is being generated and which public domains the AI cited.
Your prompts and the responses stay on your machine. Targeting is aggregated and anonymized, so advertisers never see individuals or prompts.
Fund the Sources is the ethical counterpart to earning. After an answer, you can optionally send a few cents to the websites the AI cited.
The AI uses their content to build its reply, so this gives you a simple way to pay them back. It is always your choice, never automatic.
uwait works with ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Mistral, Copilot, DeepSeek, and Grok today, with more added regularly.
The extension recognizes the waiting moment on each supported chatbot, so the experience is consistent wherever you ask your questions.
Yes. The uwait Chrome extension is free to install and free to use. There is no subscription and no trial that converts into a charge.
uwait makes money from the advertiser side of each auction, not from you. You are the one getting paid.
Payouts are handled by Stripe. When your balance passes the payout minimum, you can withdraw to your connected bank account.
Stripe processes the transfer securely, so uwait never stores your full banking details. You can track your balance and history from your dashboard.
Earnings depend on how often you use supported AI chatbots and what advertisers bid for those waiting moments through real-time auctions.
uwait does not promise a fixed amount, because each winning bid is different. The more you use AI, the more waiting moments you turn into income.
uwait runs as a browser extension on your own device. It does not modify the AI provider's response, intercept your data, or block the answer in any way.
The native placement appears alongside the chat during the seconds the model is thinking, and it slides away on its own. It never sits between you and the answer.
Every winning bid is split three ways: 50% goes to you, the earner, 30% goes as royalties to the sources the AI cited, and 20% goes to the platform.
This keeps the web that trained the model earning too. The same split applies to each auction, calculated in real time.
The fastest way to see how it works is to try it. Install the free extension and start earning from the first answer.
