Bitcoin.com AI on the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Why this matters
Bitcoin.com AI is built around simple access to AI: no monthly subscription required, many models in one place, and payment methods that work for small amounts. That naturally leads to a lot of overlap with crypto, because crypto makes low-friction global payments possible without forcing every user through the same account and card rails.
At the same time, Bitcoin.com AI is not only for crypto users. The AI part of the episode starts around 42 minutes in and covers the product more directly: how we think about model selection, why Auto Model exists, how we approach privacy, and how we want Bitcoin.com AI to stay useful as AI changes quickly.
