What it does

Developers wait on AI all day. That wait is an ad slot. One network, three doors. If you code: install the VS Code, Cursor or Chrome extension. A native ad while the model thinks. You keep 70%. We don't read your prompts. If you sell a developer tool: you show up in the IDE and the browser, targeted by the stack they actually use (React, Python, AWS). Pay €200, get €400 this week. If you shipped a chat app: npm i @idlen/chat-sdk. Three lines. Ads optional. No key, no ads. You keep 70%.

Ads in the wait. In the IDE, the browser, and the chat app you shipped. Earn, advertise, or drop 3 lines of SDK.
