discuss .ai your thoughts?

[Jim Holleran]

What are your thoughts on .ai extension? AI is the hottest tech in the world and years to come, and .ai extension might take off IMO because of it.

Great


Great job and vision. I bet big on .tv when they came out in 2000 and did well but late on .ai. Are you sales public? If so love to see what you sold and prices. Congrats again, well deserved.

I believe .TV can make a comeback now that GD is putting marketing spend on the extension. I've seen some decent sales over the last 2 months.

I agree 100%

I'd say about 15 of the sales are public.
Had a nice low 5 fig .ai sale in december via godaddy/afternic in december, but don't know why it wasn't reported to namebio, as I didn't sign NDA. Maybe the broker signed an NDA - brokers presented low ball offers for this domain for 5 yrs, then finally got a decent on

Congrats on sales. I had many over the years that are not NDA don't make Namebio but I report them to Ron Jackson at DNJournal.com and he post them in weekly report.

Instead of registering .ai I registered more AI's in .com I better renew 7 .com's than one .ai.
imo

Bernard knows his stuff. He interviewed me in 2017 while I was interim CTO for an AI startup that had spun out of ELEMENT.AI and MILA in Montreal. We were both enthusiastic about GANS, but GANS have progressed faster than we had forecast.

Great info and appreciate your feedback.

I contacted some of my former colleagues who worked for Element.ai...as it pivotted to become an .AI incubator and received 120 million in funding from Microsoft and more.

Things apparently didn't go well and Element.ai was acquired for about 200 million usd and most of the workers got terminated before their stocks vested.

2 VCs had contacted me about ELEMENT.AI as they were considering funding but really couldn't figure out the core offering/secret sauce of company besides the founders' research breakthroughs and academic background. Classic case of impeccable academic credentials, but lack of expertise building products.

My largest domain sale was in this extension, years ago. I can't see going back to it now, and don't regret it. Early holders with solid names should continue on, but stay realistic in format and pricing. Personally I think it's a solid extension.

My client picked up jug.ai and stark.ai both as characters for their app names. They loved the whole idea.

I think .ai domains may become big.

.ai still have many one word domain not reg ,
but the price is too high , and buyer may have many options.
like : tonyAI.com or tony.ai

I picked up Deportes.ai (Sports in Spanish) Sports/AI has lot's of applications. I made a nice living off selling both spanish .com's and spanish .tv's over the years and I feel this has good potential in .ai as well.

you guys are right, renewal are high, and need to look for right keywords for this extension.

Congrats as well. I just start buying .ai, been .com and .tv only in my 25 years in this industry. I see potential but need to the right words, and not a fan of high renewals. Good luck to you.
