Thrad lets you earn revenue by showing native ads inside your AI chat app.
  1. You ask for an ad. Your backend sends a bid request with the conversation context and the user’s device. Always include the user’s country (device.geo.country), device type and OS: campaigns target them.
  2. Advertisers bid. Thrad runs an auction and returns the best-matching ad, or none.
  3. You show it. You draw the ad in your own UI as a card, carousel or poll. See Ad Formats & Rendering.
  4. You get paid. Each ad carries tracking links. You fire them from the user’s device, once the ad is actually on screen. You’re paid for those viewable impressions. See Impression Billing.
Ads come back as plain JSON, with no scripts or iframes, so you keep full control of how they look.
