What is AI Pay?
AI Pay provides a framework for websites aiming to enhance user experience with AI functionalities without bearing the computational costs directly. It facilitates a system where end-users, equipped with the AI Pay browser extension, pay small amounts for the specific AI services they utilize on participating websites. This approach allows developers, including those working on open-source projects, to implement AI tools like documentation chatbots or GPT applications and potentially monetize their work.
For users, the browser extension acts as a gateway to access these AI features across different websites integrated with AI Pay. It manages micro-transactions for AI usage, offering an alternative to traditional subscription models or ad-based revenue for website owners. Websites that introduce users to AI Pay can earn affiliate commissions from subsequent credit purchases made by those users.
