Is your app on this list?
If your users read an AI result, wavebird works. Here's where it already runs.
Chatbots & assistants
Like chat, copilots, support bots and search interfaces, where users read a generated answer.
Standalone GenAI apps
Like image, writing, voice, code and study tools, including consumer AI apps with a free tier.
In-product AI features
Like AI sidebars, smart compose and inline assistants, inside existing SaaS.
AI agents
Like multi-step task runners, with a surface where the user follows the result.
Developer tools
Like CLIs, IDE plugins, code search, docs and companion tools, with free tiers.
Voice & realtime
Like voice agents, transcription apps and realtime AI sessions, where output appears as it happens.

Only broad topic and language. No prompts, no chat history.
See data flow →How is it integrated?
Server side matches the ad, client side renders it. Decoupled by design.
See integration docs →Where do sponsors come from?
wavebird brings approved sponsor demand. You stay in control of delivery.
Discuss sponsor demand →What does wavebird cost?
No upfront cost or platform fee. wavebird earns a share only when an ad generates revenue, so you never pay to integrate.
Discuss revenue terms →How much effort to integrate?
Minimal. One API call or the SDK gets a format live. No prior ad-tech knowledge needed.
See integration docs →Built on an open standard. wavebird placements implement Compute Sponsoring, a published proposal for generative AI advertising, so you build on something open and reviewable. Read the proposal →
