Inline partners with ZeroClick to power free AI tools for publishers
Today, we're excited to announce that ZeroClick has partnered with Inline to help power their free tier for digital publishers. This partnership furthers our mission of expanding access to high-quality AI tools by enabling platform sustainability.
About Inline
Inline helps digital media companies embed AI-powered chat, search, and article summaries directly on their websites. Instead of losing readers to external AI tools, publishers keep readers on-site longer, capture first-party data from each conversation, and generate incremental revenue from relevant native ads included in each conversation. Publishers can deploy Inline's platform in minutes with a single JavaScript snippet, with no engineering resources required.
Their publisher partners include brands like OK Magazine, Sole Retriever, Radar Online, and Ancient Origins. Over a million questions have already been answered across the network.
Inline builds AI agents that are grounded in each publisher's own content, directing readers deeper into the moments that matter most. For publishers trying to retain audience in an era where AI is pulling readers off-site, it's a fundamentally different approach. One that allows media brands to gain leverage over their existing distribution.
Expanding access for publishers
AI-powered tools like Inline are expensive to run. Generating answers requires inference, and inference costs add up fast, especially across a network of high-traffic sites. Without a sustainable monetization layer, that cost gets passed directly to publishers, limiting who can afford to offer these experiences to their readers.
ZeroClick changes that equation. With reasoning-time ads supporting the platform, Inline can offer generous free usage to publishers who might otherwise never adopt on-site AI. The ads themselves are contextual and non-disruptive to the conversation.
