Earn Money While Using GitHub Copilot

Turn Copilot Suggestions into Income

GitHub Copilot has become an essential tool for millions of developers. Every day, you accept dozens or hundreds of AI suggestions that help you code faster.

Now those acceptances can earn you money.

The Copilot + Idlen Opportunity

GitHub Copilot creates a unique high-frequency earning pattern:

1. Frequent interactions - You accept suggestions constantly
2. Natural workflow - No change to how you code
3. Subscription offset - Earn back your Copilot costs

How It Works

Write code → Copilot suggests → You accept (Tab)
                                     ↓
                              Idlen shows ad
                                     ↓
                              You earn €0.01-0.03

Multiply that by 50-200 acceptances per day...

Offset Your Copilot Subscription

Heavy users can more than cover their Copilot subscription.

Privacy is Paramount

We understand Copilot sees sensitive code. Idlen doesn't:

• ❌ No access to Copilot suggestions
• ❌ No reading of your code
• ❌ No tracking of what you're building
• ✅ Only detects "completion accepted" events

High-Frequency Earning Potential

Unlike other AI tools where you wait for responses, Copilot creates constant micro-earning opportunities:
