Description
Kickbacks.ai offers a unique advertising marketplace that allows developers to earn revenue during the idle times of their AI agents. By displaying sponsored status lines while AI agents such as Claude Code or Codex are processing, advertisers can bid for these slots, creating a new revenue stream for developers. The platform supports various setups, including VS Code extensions and terminal CLI, with the primary focus on the Claude Code panel. Developers can earn by installing the Kickbacks.ai extension, signing in, and continuing their coding activities as usual. The earnings are based on qualifying impressions, which require genuine human-initiated activity and meet specific display-duration criteria. The revenue split is approximately 50% of the net ad revenue attributable to the developer's activity.
