Description
Every time you use ChatGPT or Claude, you wait. Usually 3 to 8 seconds. That's it. That's the idea. uwait is a Chrome extension that shows a curated ad during that loading screen. You get a small cut. The publishers whose content trained the AI get a cut too. The advertiser gets your attention at a moment when you're actually paying attention. The split: 50% to users, 30% to publishers, 20% to us. We're picky about advertisers. Just brands that make sense in that context.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
