India's first AI ad marketplace for VS Code developers.
While Claude Code is processing your request (those 5–30 second pauses), WaitJI AI shows one quiet sponsored message — in the "Thinking…" spinner and terminal status line. You earn 50% of the ad revenue, paid directly to your UPI account or bank. Nothing about how you code changes.
⚡ Install in one command
Paste this in your Mac/Linux terminal:
curl -L https://waitjiai.in/vsix -o waitji.vsix && code --install-extension waitji.vsix
Or search WaitJI AI in the VS Code Extensions panel.
💰 Two ad placements — you earn from both
| Placement | Where it shows | Developer earns |
|---|---|---|
| ★ Spotlight | Inside Claude Code's "Thinking…" spinner | ₹400 per 1,000 impressions |
| ◎ Stream | Terminal status line during CLI sessions | ₹150 per 1,000 impressions |
Both run independently. Higher advertiser bids = more you earn.

🔒 Privacy
This extension does not read, transmit, or store your code, file contents, terminal output, or keystrokes.
What it does send:
- Your User ID (to credit earnings)
- A timestamp when Claude Code enters "thinking" state (to time impressions)
What it never reads:
- Your code or files
- Claude Code's responses
- Any terminal output
Full details: waitjiai.in/privacy.html
The extension is fully reversible. Run WaitJI AI: Disable Terminal Status Line Ads (Restore) at any time to revert your ~/.claude/settings.json exactly to what it was before install.
🛡️ How we show ads (technically, for the curious)
WaitJI AI uses two officially documented and intentionally exposed Claude Code settings:
spinnerVerbs— customizes the words in the "Thinking…" spinner (Claude Code's own feature, used by many extensions for Star Wars/Dune themes etc.)statusLine— a command Claude Code runs to populate the terminal status line
No Anthropic extension files are patched or modified. No VS Code internal files are modified. This approach is identical to how kickbacks.ai works — using Claude Code's own documented API.
