Live demo — the working indicator cycles to a sponsored line, then back.

Any AI tool. Any editor.

One integration reaches developers wherever they run Claude — no UI rebuild.

Monetize your whole user base

One line. Any tool. Zero rebuild.

Run one setup command from your tool's own install. It adds the AdExt status line to your users' Claude Code — no UI changes, no SDK wiring for CLI and MCP partners.

Non-blocking. Fail-safe. Cached.

The status line renders from a disk cache, refreshed by a detached background bid. It never blocks Claude, and falls back to plain session context when there's no fill.

70% share. Monthly payouts.

Keep your product free, funded by ads instead of a paywall. You take 70% of every impression served into your sessions, paid out monthly via Stripe.

Freemium without the friction.

Stop converting 2% to paid. Monetize everyone with a single ambient line that respects the user's terminal — including NO_COLOR.

Per-partner attribution.

Every impression is tagged to your partner key, so revenue and analytics roll up to your tool, not a shared pool.

Distribution you already own.

AdExt never touches a developer's machine directly — your existing install base is the route into their Claude sessions.

Built for advertisers

Reach engineers at the moment they ship

Intent-moment placement.

Your message appears while Claude is actively working — not a banner the eye skips, but a line developers are already watching.

The highest-intent audience.

Senior+ engineers, mid-task, inside the AI tools they live in. No bots, no impression farms.

Transparent CPM.

Real cost-per-thousand on a real-time auction. Start from $1.00 CPM with full impression and click reporting.
