Ad placements on Monty AI

Monty AI is a free-to-start, AI-powered learning platform that lets anyone generate a personalized course on any topic — from special relativity to medieval English literature — and work through it one chapter at a time. We keep the core experience free for learners who want it that way, and a small number of ads on a few specific surfaces help us pay for the AI inference costs that make the platform possible.

This page exists so readers, advertising partners, and review teams can see exactly where ads appear on Monty AI and what they look like in context. Nothing on this page is hidden behind a login.

Where ads appear

We run advertising in three places only. The rest of the product — the course player, the dashboard, the chat experience — is ad-free.

1. Inside long-form blog articles. A single in-article unit appears roughly 40% of the way through each published post for visitors on the free tier. A second unit appears at the end of the article. Both are clearly labeled as advertisements.
2. In the right-hand sidebar of the learning app. A vertical unit sits in the right rail of the dashboard and course-roadmap pages for free-tier users. It is sticky, never expands into the reading area, and never appears for paid subscribers.
3. Between chapters in a course. When a free user completes a chapter, an interstitial ad is shown before they continue to the next chapter. This appears on every other chapter, never back-to-back, and the “Continue” button is delayed by two seconds so the ad has time to render before any interaction.

Sample inline placement

The unit below shows the in-article format used on our blog, rendered with the same component, slot, and label as production:

Our policies

We hold ourselves to a few clear rules so ads don’t degrade the learning experience:

• Paid subscribers (Gold and above) see no advertisements anywhere in the product.
• Ads never appear inside a quiz, an exercise, or active reading content.
• We do not show pop-ups, auto-playing video ads with sound, or interstitials that block the reading flow.
• Every ad slot is labeled “Advertisement” or “Sponsored” so readers can distinguish editorial content from paid content.
• We follow the Google AdSense program policies and the policies of any other ad network we may partner with.

If you see an ad that looks broken, off-policy, or out of place with what we describe above, please let us know at [email protected]. For details on the data our advertising partners may collect and how to opt out of personalized ads, see our privacy policy.
