@kevinfremon: What does it actually cost to run a custom AI agent every month? Here's the full breakdownm every service, every line item, the real total. Some of these surprised me. Got any suggestions for me? #AIAgent #AIAgents #ClaudeCode #Claude #Jarvis
Tip: use deepseek api instead of Anthropic it’s a thousand times cheaper and about the same quality

why did you not build it in local ai instead?

LogicAndKindness :
Why are you even going if try to waste time to bring your costs down? Literally bring your cost down by twenty percent saves you about $480 for the year. Assuming your time is worth at least $50+ an hour…sounds like a complete waste of time to decrease expenses that are already low.

I’ve been following you for a minute and love the content. I use Piper TTS via hugging face so it’s local for your build and costs nothing instead of paying for elevenlabs

is there any reason why you wouldn't use telegram to communicate to trillion from your phone?

What about the Anthropic API costs? I’m putting in a lot of money for the API with Anthropic (already $700).

baerdev :
Honestly, not terrible. Trillions yearly salary is essentially $2,280. I’d figure that your Anthropic API would be the most costly. If you use eleven labs for other things, then it’s worth it. If not, then I’d look to cut that one down first, but I get having an attachment to trillions voice and it’d be difficult to just change it.

Hey! How can I make an ai like this?

AI studio for free API key and usage, openrouter load in $10 and you can use free models.
both of those would be for none private stuff.
with Google AI pro, you get Jules which can pickup GitHub issues, Google flow with 1,000 AI credits a month, free $10 a month for vertex ai for the enterprise models and private use, plus free credits for just for using enterprise, plus anti-gravity ide. plus free tier Google cloud stuff like a compute engine, big query etc. not too mention notebook lm with a notebook lm mcp massively extends research and knowledge.
on top of that, groq, Nvidia nim, opencode etc all have free tier use.
you could massively cut your costs. not just a little bit
Google is surprising how much they give you.

Have you considered using a local machine running local models with things like Ollama?

You need to just sell the code. I pay $600-$700 for all my different things. I run a very large company and building a 2nd brand that could easily harness for a lot of $$$. 🫶🏼

Why not use the alias on Gmail? This is where I struggle at the moment, as it should be enough?

Man, get a Raspberry Pi 5 8 GB, static IP, host locally, completely dropping Digital Ocean. And Elevenlabs is a nice to have for the high quality TTS, run something cheaper, but I get the voice of Trillion is a content quality expense in your case. Keep up the great content.
