Anyone have recommendations for building a custom AI agent that lives behind a paywall?

I’m looking for the simplest solution that allows:

1. Training a model on my own content (courses, podcast archive, etc)

2. Paywalled access, ideally accepting both fiat and crypto

Everything I’ve explored so far requires landing pages, third-party integrations, or complex stacks that feel like overkill (and cost). I just want to get it live without duct-taping tools together.

Would love to hear what’s working for others. 🙏

I don’t suggest training a model. You will have to pay to keep it running all the time, you’ll need a big one for it to be good. You probably want a RAG system which retrieves a lot of context and fills the window. You can’t really fine tune memories into a model, it usually makes the model worse. But retrieval can get you very far. Include conversation examples of how you speak if you want it to imitate your style

Working on payments now. You can stripe it up on your website. Look at payman.ai, there are others, for agent payments

Probably should work on a payments module. What would be your ideal UX?
