Side panel format. The extension owns the chrome — Lumi only renders the bordered card.
Who this is for

If your extension renders AI output, this is your path.

Revenue example

What 30,000 daily users can earn.

Illustrative — not a guarantee
Daily active users30,000
Ad impressions per user per day~3
Daily impressions90,000
CPM$5
Monthly publisher revenue~$13,500

Numbers are illustrative for an established AI extension with daily-driver usage. Actual revenue depends on session length, ad slot placement, fill rate, and audience composition. Productivity-focused extensions (writing, research, dev tools) typically run higher CPMs than general-purpose ones.

Frequently asked

The questions every extension dev asks.

Will Chrome Web Store flag this?

No. Lumi is compliant with Chrome Web Store policies. Ads are clearly disclosed; no hidden behavior, no permission creep, no remote-hosted code execution. Same compliance posture for Edge and Firefox stores.

Manifest v3 support?

Native. Lumi runs in service workers and uses declarative network rules — no remotely-hosted code, no eval, no patterns that v3 review rejects.

Will Lumi sell my user data?

No. Boost Boss does not sell user data and has no third-party tracking pixels. All targeting is contextual — derived from on-page or in-extension content at request time, never persisted into a user profile.

Can I run on top of an existing freemium model?

Yes — most of our extension publishers do exactly this. Show ads to free users, hide them for Pro subscribers, all controlled by your own paywall logic.

What about CSP restrictions in extension contexts?

Lumi works within strict CSP. Our SDK doesn't require unsafe-eval or unsafe-inline; ad creative renders inside an isolated mount point you control.
