About the startup
Idlen is a tool that allows developers and creators to earn passive income by monetizing the idle time during AI processing. It works with popular AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, V0, Bolt, and Lovable, displaying relevant dev tool and privacy-first ads during wait times. Users can earn €20-100/month without changing their workflow, with earnings going directly to their account via Stripe, PayPal, or as credits. For advertisers, Idlen allows to broadcast immersive and non-intrusive ads to tech, entrepreneur, product and indie hackers people directly within their work tools (AI agents, IDEs, vibecoding tools)
