Different ad types, same conversation

Koah Labs serves programmatic display ads — banners, cards, and lead gen forms rendered alongside your AI responses. It's the "AdSense for GenAI" approach: their SDK delivers ad units from a network of premium advertisers.

ChatAds works inside the response itself. When your AI mentions a product, ChatAds returns an affiliate link for that exact keyword. Your users see a natural text link, not a banner. The two approaches target completely different ad inventory.

Use them together

Run Koah Labs for programmatic banner ads in your UI. Run ChatAds for inline affiliate links and image-based product matching inside the conversation. Two revenue streams from a single user session.

Only ChatAds does AI-generated image ads

  • Product matching from images — When your AI generates an image containing a product, ChatAds identifies it and returns a matching affiliate offer.
  • No other platform offers this — Koah Labs, ZeroClick, and other AI ad networks focus on text-based or display ad formats. None can monetize the visual content your AI creates.
  • A growing ad surface — As AI image generation improves, more conversations include product-relevant visuals. ChatAds turns those into revenue automatically.

How it works

  • Your AI generates an image in a conversation
  • ChatAds identifies products in the image
  • Returns a matching affiliate link
  • You display the offer alongside the image

This is unique to ChatAds — no other AI monetization platform can do this.

The ChatAds difference

Affiliate monetization built for AI conversations

Inline affiliate links

Product mentions in your AI responses become affiliate links. Natural, in-context monetization — not a banner bolted onto the side.

AI image ad matching

The only platform that monetizes AI-generated images. Products in visuals get matched to affiliate offers automatically.

100% your commissions

Bring your own affiliate accounts. ChatAds finds the product and builds the link — you keep every commission dollar.

Complements display ads

ChatAds doesn't compete with Koah Labs — it fills a different slot. Run both and monetize the full conversation surface.
