OpenTrain AI uses a milestone-based payment model. Employers fund work in advance, AI trainers complete deliverables, and funds are released through Stripe once the employer approves.

How payments work

Section titled “How payments work”

Employer creates and funds a milestone

When structuring a job contract, you (the employer) create milestones that represent discrete units of work with agreed payment amounts. Funding a milestone charges your payment method and holds the funds securely.

AI Trainer completes the work

The AI trainer sees the funded milestone in their job view and completes the agreed work. When ready, they request approval to release the payment.

Employer approves

You review the completed work and approve the milestone. Approval triggers payout to the AI trainer’s connected bank account.

AI Trainer receives funds

Stripe releases the funds to the AI trainer’s connected bank account according to the payout schedule.

Employers

As an employer, you need a valid payment method on file to fund milestones. This is charged when you click Fund on a milestone in a job contract. No separate Stripe account setup is required on your side — OpenTrain AI handles payment collection through Stripe on your behalf.
