Back to work.
Claude's done. While folded itself away.
Claude is working.
How it works
Your AI is working.
So is everyone else's.

> fix the flaky session refresh and add tests
⏺I'll start with how sessions get refreshed.
⏺Read(src/auth/session.ts)
⎿Read 64 lines
⏺Search(pattern: "refreshSession", path: "src")
⎿Found 4 files
⏺Two requests can refresh the same session at once — the second one overwrites the first token. I'll put a lock around it.
⏺Update(src/auth/session.ts)
⎿Updated src/auth/session.ts with 8 additions and 3 removals
⏺Write(src/auth/session.test.ts)
⎿Wrote 48 lines to src/auth/session.test.ts
⏺Bash(npm run test:e2e -- auth)
⎿Running…

AI is working.
You hit send in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Now you wait.
While appears.
Two tiny eyes wake up in your notch, with a count of everyone else who's waiting.

debugging a flaky test at 2am
Meet someone.
One click, a random 1:1 video call with a real person who's waiting too.
Or play.
Nobody around? Three tiny games, right in the notch. Someone shows up — you'll know.
Back to work.
Your AI finishes. While says so, then folds itself away.
The experience
Lives in the notch.
No window to find, no tab to keep open. While sits in the one part of your screen you never use.
- 01
Asleep
Two tiny eyes beside your notch. Green means people are around.
- 02
Awake
Hit send in Claude — or press ⌃⌥W — and it knows you're waiting.
- 03
Who else is here
Click it: how many people are waiting right now, and who wants to talk.
- 04
Random call
One click. A random person who's also waiting. The call opens right below.
- 05
Play
Nobody around? Three tiny games, inside the notch.
- 06
Someone's here
The moment someone shows up, a small pill. Join, or keep playing.
- 07
Gone
Your AI finishes. While folds back into two eyes and lets you work.
Random video
Someone else is waiting too.
A live, one-to-one video call with a real person who's also waiting on their AI. Talk until it's done — or press next.
Finding someone who's also waiting…
Random human.
No profiles to browse, nobody to swipe. Just whoever is waiting when you are.
Right now.
Live and one-to-one. Nothing is recorded, and there's no chat history to keep.
While you wait.
When your AI finishes, you go back to work. That's the whole thing.
Adults only (18+). Report or block anyone in one click — and they're gone.
AI is what you're waiting for.
Humans are what you talk to.
While isn't an AI, and it never talks to you. It finds you a person — then gets out of the way.
No one around?
Play while you wait.
Three tiny games, built into the notch. Solo, quick, and gone the moment someone shows up.
Someone shows up mid-game? You'll see them right there. Join, and the game folds away.
Zero AI. No leaderboards to grind — just your best, and today's best.
Your AI can wait.
You don't have to.
