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.

How it works
Install the extension.
Run rupAIya: Sign In from the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P).
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.
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
