Whyl _
Thinks,
You Earn.

Earn AI tokens. Stay in flow. Skip the doomscroll.

Watch startup ads during AI wait times and get more Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT credits.

The flywheel

Developers want ads. Startups want developers. AI rate limits want to die.

01

You opt in

While Claude (or Cursor, Copilot, whatever) runs, you choose to watch short startup ads instead of doomscrolling Slack.

02

You earn tokens

Each ad watched = AI compute tokens. Redeem them for more prompts, longer agent runs, fewer rate-limit walls.

03

Startups pay us

Early-stage companies pay to showcase their product to coders who actually care β€” during the one moment they're guaranteed to be staring at a screen.

04

You stay productive

Between ads, get research-backed micro-tasks matched to your wait time. No context-switching. No attention residue.

Claude is thinking. You can earn.

Toggle ads on, start waiting, do a tiny task between pitches.

What you'll get

Research-backed micro-tasks matched to unpredictable AI wait times. Picked at random.

πŸ‘ Physical Reset

20-20-20 eye rule, posture check, three deep breaths. Drop instantly when output arrives.

πŸ’¬ Stay in Context

Re-read your prompt, scan nearby code, mental walkthrough of expected behavior.

πŸ“ Prep & Plan

Draft your next instruction, review your git diff, sketch test scenarios.

🧠 Diffuse Mode

Window gazing, short walk, doodle, close eyes briefly. Let your brain keep working.

πŸ“‹ Task Hygiene

Update notes, log time worked, note a blocker. Write-only β€” no new context loaded.

⚑ Token Earn

Watch a 15-second startup pitch. Stack tokens for more AI compute. Coders actually want this.

Match activity to uncertainty

You don't know if it's 30 seconds or 5 minutes. Choose things you can drop instantly.
