Kickbacks.ai helps developers get paid for AI-agent wait states. Advertisers bid for a tiny sponsored status line; users get 50% of ad revenue.
The dead time angle is smart — waiting for Claude to compile is basically the new coffee break. My only concern is the same as others raised here: what data exactly gets sent to your servers during those sessions? A clear answer to that in the docs would probably convert a lot of fence-sitters. Rooting for you either way, clever niche.
This is a funny but surprisingly logical idea. Developers already spend a lot of time watching agents think, so turning that dead time into something opt-in and revenue-sharing makes sense.
It made me think.. why isnt it a thing like in all software products?? For instance we can put Ads in the free space of every OS toolbar
