When Claude Code or Codex is thinking in Cursor or VS Code, it shows a throwaway word — "Percolating…". AgenticAds rents that one line to sponsors and pays 50% of the revenue to you — straight to UPI in India, PayPal everywhere else.

Already have an account? Log in.
No surveys, no videos, no crypto, no weird browser bars. One sponsored line, only while your agent is already making you wait.
One curl command. Then AgenticAds: Sign in from the command palette. It only touches the spinner line — never your code, never your prompts.
While Claude Code or Codex thinks in Cursor or VS Code, sponsors bid for that one line. Each verified 5-second view earns you a credit. Clicks earn 50×.
50% of every dollar a sponsor pays settles to your balance. Monthly payouts to UPI (India) or PayPal (everywhere else), ₹500 (≈ $6) minimum. Full ledger, no mystery math.
“AgenticAds sits neatly on the VS Code status bar without interrupting deep work while coding”
“Zero lag in VS Code. Most extensions slow down the editor, but AgenticAds is so lightweight you barely notice it running until you check your balance.”
“The idea of turning idle Claude Code thinking time into coffee money with direct UPI payouts is brilliant. Zero CPU lag and a completely transparent ledger.”
We're not going to lie to you with a big fake monthly number. During beta, credits cap at ₹10 (≈ $0.12) a day — a fraud brake, not the long-term rate. That is about $1–$2.40 a month if you code most days. The named milestone is the ₹500 first payout, not a vendor subscription.
That's coffee money for a line you were going to stare at anyway. As sponsors bid more and the cap lifts, your rate grows. You'll always see exactly what every impression paid. Your 50% is half of a verified, fraud-filtered view — on screen for 5 seconds, not estimated, not promised.
Same 50% share, same transparent ledger wherever you are — only the payout rail changes.
Payouts straight to your UPI ID, ₹500 minimum — from a GST-registered, DPIIT-recognised Indian company. First payout may require KYC (PAN); TDS applied as required so income stays clean and declared. ₹500 is about a small VPS month, not Cursor Start (₹649/month in India). Beta credits cap at ₹10/day, so this does not cover that bill.
Paid monthly to your PayPal email, ₹500 (≈ $6) minimum. Same share, same per-impression ledger, same rules.
Your message renders inside the editor of a developer who is actively building — not scrolling past a feed. Hosting, dev tools, hiring, APIs: this is the moment they're choosing what to use. Indian and global brands both get invoices their finance teams accept.
Context you can't buy elsewhere. A developer waiting on an AI agent is mid-build. "Deploy it on ___" lands differently at that exact second.
AI-native developers, from Bengaluru to Berlin. The earliest adopters of Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — the people who pick the stack for their team and their startup.
Billed properly, wherever you are. GST-compliant INR invoices for Indian brands, USD billing for everyone else — from a DPIIT-recognised registered company.
Pay only for verified views. An impression counts only after the line was actually on screen for 5 seconds in an active session. Click-throughs billed separately. Full transparent reporting.
Measure conversions, not vibes. Every click carries UTM tags and a signed click ID — add our pixel or server postback and your dashboard shows conversions and conversion rate per campaign.
No waitlists, no invite gates. Install, sign in from the editor, earn while you build.
No. The extension swaps the text of the spinner line and records that an ad was visible. It does not read, store, or transmit your code, prompts, or files. The client source is published so you can verify exactly what runs on your machine.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. During beta, credits cap at ₹10 a day, so expect about $1–$2.40 a month. First cash-out is ₹500. Cursor Start in India is ₹649/month; this does not replace it. It offsets a coffee, not a subscription. If sponsor demand grows and the cap lifts, your rate grows with it.
Yes. Cursor is a VS Code fork, so the same .vsix installs. Choose the Cursor tab in the install
box (it uses cursor instead of code), then Command Palette → AgenticAds: Sign in.
The status bar and the terminal spinner both work.
Impressions only count in genuinely active coding sessions — we check for real editor activity, cap daily credits, and hold payouts for review on new accounts. Boring for fraudsters, which is the point. Clean traffic is what keeps sponsor money (and your payouts) flowing.
Monthly, via UPI (in India) or PayPal (everywhere else), with a ₹500 (≈ $6) minimum balance. Verification (PAN for India) may be required before your first payout. Your dashboard shows every impression, click, and payout.
Because the share is only half the equation — your earnings are the share × what sponsors actually pay per view. Our work goes into the second part: verified 5-second views, fraud filtering, conversion tracking, and invoices sponsors' finance teams accept — the things that make sponsors bid at all. Your ledger shows what every single view paid you, and as demand grows, your rate grows with it. We'd rather grow the number that's actually yours than advertise a bigger slice of a promise.
No. AgenticAds is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, or Cursor. If a platform changes in a way that breaks the experience, the extension gracefully falls back to the stock spinner.
