the flywheel
01

Prompt

Ask Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT to do something — and start waiting.

02

Watch an ad

While it thinks, watch a short ad from a fellow dev instead of drifting off.

03

Earn tokens

Each ad watched = AI compute. Redeem for more prompts, longer agent runs, fewer walls.

04

Repeat

Every wait becomes another chance to earn. The more you build, the more you earn.
