## Description

<strong>Get paid for the time you already spend waiting for AI.</strong>

Every time you ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity (and others) a question, there's a short wait while the model thinks. uwait turns that idle moment into earnings: a small, non-intrusive sponsored card appears <strong>only during generation</strong> and disappears once the answer is ready.

<strong>Why uwait is different</strong>
  - 💸 <strong>You earn</strong> for every ad you genuinely see — track your balance in the popup, withdraw via your dashboard.
  - 📚 <strong>Sources get paid too.</strong> Part of the revenue funds the media and websites the AI actually cites — an honest model for the AI era.
  - 🪶 <strong>Lightweight &amp; respectful.</strong> No autoplay, no full-screen takeover. One discreet card, with a strict cooldown between ads.
  - 🔒 <strong>Privacy-first.</strong> uwait never reads your prompts or the AI's answers. It only detects <em>when</em> a response is generating and collects the <strong>domains</strong> of cited sources.

<strong>Supported assistants</strong>
  ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Mistral, DeepSeek, Grok.

<strong>How it works</strong>
  1. Install uwait and connect your free account from the popup.
  2. Use your AI assistants exactly as usual.
  3. A sponsored card shows during the wait — and you earn.
