How it works
Prompt as usual
ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whatever you already use. WHYL notices the wait the moment it starts and estimates how long it will run.
Watch the wait fill
When a sponsor fits your wait, a short video plays while the model works. Sound you control, a close button always, and never longer than your wait.
Get paid
The ad closes the second your answer is ready. Eligible completed views are verified by our server and add the campaign's disclosed reward to your balance.
What you earn
- Verified US dollars per completed view. Each campaign discloses its reward up front, and you earn proportionally to the time you actually watched.
- +25% on your first 20 views when you answer the optional four-question survey after setup.
- 10% referral commission for 30 days on friends you invite, capped at $10 each. They keep every dollar they earn.
- Withdraw from $10 via the dashboard; payout onboarding is hosted by Stripe.
Campaign availability and reward amounts vary, and earnings are never guaranteed — that honesty is the deal.
The rules that keep it fair
- No ads on "hi" — trivial prompts never trigger sponsored content.
- Your answer always wins: generation finishing closes the ad instantly, mid-video if needed.
- Stop the AI response and the ad stops with it.
- One ad at a time, only while you're actually waiting.
Questions
Does WHYL read my prompts?
No by default. WHYL reads prompt length and wait status locally to time sponsored content. Raw prompt and response text leave your device only if you separately opt in — and you can turn that off anytime. Rewards work either way. The plain-English breakdown.
What does it cost?
Nothing. WHYL is free for watchers — advertisers fund the rewards.
Which AI tools are supported?
