Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Sander, maker of Prism. Every AI tool has the same dead moment: you fire off a prompt and then just… wait. "Thinking…" for 10, 30, 90 seconds. Multiply that across a day of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and you're losing real time to a loading spinner. Advertisers pay billions for attention and that focused, in-flow attention you're generating is worth more than almost anything. You were getting $0 of it. Prism fixes that. While your AI is already making you wait, it shows one small, clearly-labeled ad on the status line, runs a real-time auction for that slot, and pays you 50% of what the advertiser bids. The AI responds, the ad disappears. That's the whole thing — no feed, no popups, one quiet line. Why Prism is built differently: 🖥️ It runs where developers actually work not in a browser. Devs don't live in a ChatGPT tab. They live in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and Antigravity installed, on the machine. Prism is a native app that works across those real surfaces (terminal + desktop apps), the place your wait time actually happens. Browser-extension tools simply aren't where the work is. 🔒 It never touches your editor. This is the part I care about most. Prism does not modify your editor's bundle, inject into its code, or weaken its Content-Security-Policy. It renders its own overlay alongside your tools read-only so your IDE keeps running exactly as the vendor shipped it. No unsigned background auto-updates rewriting your apps every few seconds. 🛡️ It never reads your prompts or your code. Detection of when the AI is busy happens with coarse, on-device signals. The content of your work prompts, responses, files, repos never leaves your machine and is never transmitted. We don't read your AI session files. The app is signed/notarized, and you can uninstall it in ~5 seconds. 💸 You keep 50%, withdraw to your bank, free forever. I'd genuinely love your feedback especially the hard questions. "Ads in my dev tools" should make you skeptical, and I'd rather earn the trust than ask for it. What would make you run it, and what would make you uninstall instantly? 👉 goprism.dev· works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Antigravity
