Question 1

What is AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

AdMyChat is an ad network that pays developers for the time they already spend coding and using AI chat tools. You install an extension, keep working normally, and earn a share of what advertisers pay to reach you. It is free for developers, who are paid rather than charged.

Question 2

How do developers get paid for using AI like ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

AdMyChat's extension reports that you are actively working, and shows one small sponsor placement alongside your session. Advertisers pay for those placements, and the developer keeps a share of that revenue, which accrues to a wallet balance and is cashed out once it reaches $15.

Question 3

Does AdMyChat read my source code or my AI prompts?

Accepted Answer

No. AdMyChat never reads source code, prompts, file contents, or keystrokes. The extension sends only timing signals indicating whether a session was active, so there is nothing sensitive to leak. This is the core design constraint of the product, not a setting you have to enable.

Question 4

How much can a developer earn with AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

Full-time software engineers coding 40 to 60 hours per week typically earn $20 to $34+ per month at our baseline CPM floor ($5.00+ CPM). Earnings scale with active development hours, overtime tiers (75% for 6-10h, 50% for 10-14h), and advertiser demand. Developers keep 75% baseline (up to 100% on referral bonus or early launch offer) of what advertisers pay, and can withdraw once the balance reaches $15.

Question 5

Which editors and AI tools does AdMyChat support?

Accepted Answer

AdMyChat supports VS Code and its forks (Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium) through a marketplace extension, the ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini web apps through a browser add-on for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and the Claude Code CLI through a status-line integration.

Question 6

Is AdMyChat free for developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Developers never pay anything to use AdMyChat. The network is funded entirely by advertisers who want to reach software engineers, and developers are on the receiving end of that money.

Question 7

How do I join AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

Sign in at admychat.com with GitHub, GitLab, or Google to join the developer waitlist. Every signup is reviewed and approved by an administrator before it can earn, which keeps the network clean and advertiser rates high. You are emailed as soon as your account is approved.

Question 8

Is there a launch bonus for early AdMyChat developers?

Accepted Answer

The first 50 developers on the waitlist receive 100% Revenue Share (0% platform commission) for up to 12 months, applied once an administrator approves the account. After the first 50 places are taken, later signups get the standard early-access bonus instead. Waitlist position is assigned at signup and does not change.

Question 9

How does the AdMyChat referral program work?

Accepted Answer

Every developer gets a referral link from their wallet page. When someone signs up with your link and is approved by an administrator, you get three extra days earning at a 100% revenue share. The days stack, so three approved referrals is nine days of keeping everything you earn.

Question 10

How do advertisers reach developers on AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

Advertisers create a campaign at admychat.com/advertiser, set a CPM rate and daily budget, and choose which surfaces and developer interest categories to target. Placements appear next to real working sessions of verified developers rather than on general web inventory.

Question 11

How does AdMyChat protect advertiser ROI?

Accepted Answer

Every developer account is verified before earning, ensuring authentic developer engagement. Advertisers only pay for genuine developer attention during active coding and development sessions.

Question 12

What counts as an active session on AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

AdMyChat measures active developer engagement rather than passive web impressions. Only verified active usage within developer tools and IDEs is counted.

Question 13

How are ad clicks measured on AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

When a developer opens a sponsor link, the interaction is securely recorded to provide accurate campaign performance analytics in the advertiser dashboard.

Question 14

How much does it cost to advertise to developers on AdMyChat?

Accepted Answer

Advertisers set their own CPM rate and daily budget cap per campaign, and spend is drawn from a prepaid balance funded by card, PayPal, Wise, or bank wire. Campaigns can target specific surfaces and developer interest categories.
