rupAIya — Earn While AI Thinks

Get paid for waiting. When your AI coding agent (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) is thinking, rupAIya shows a small ad in a side panel. You earn INR via UPI for every impression. 50% of ad revenue goes to you, paid out in Indian Rupees directly to your bank.

Made in India 🇮🇳 · #ProudlyIndian

How it works

1. Install the extension.
2. Run rupAIya: Sign In from the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P).
3. Sign in at squishy-plum-pie.vercel.app and add your UPI ID.
4. Code normally. When Claude/Cursor/Copilot is processing in the terminal, an ad appears in a side panel for 10 seconds. Each impression credits your account.
5. Request a payout once you cross ₹150. Payouts land via UPI within 24–48 hours.

Features

• Non-intrusive — ads appear in a side panel, never block your code or the AI output
• Smart detection — only fires during actual AI processing in your terminal (Claude, Cursor, Copilot CLI)
• Rate limited — at most one ad every 60 seconds, so no spam
• Privacy first — no code is ever read or sent anywhere. The extension only watches command names, never command output or your source files
• Secure — sign-in token stored in OS keychain via VS Code Secret Storage, not on disk
