...hazlo.ai....

Thank for sharing.

Need a little tweaking, not my domain, but just tried:

TheQueen.com came in lower than the typo TheQuee.com
Thanks for testing it out. I'm still working on it. I think all domain appraisal tools suck - but in fairness, I know why - it's very difficult to program the logic to do it all. Rank short, rank brandable, compare similar sales. Hazlo.ai uses several data elements; it combines AI (LLM) with data from past sales, scores based on my experience as a domainer, and many other elements. I think it's working pretty well, but it needs to be adjusted for sure. I'm going to keep working on it. I just need more people willing to try it out and share results. I would love to get more domainers looking at it because I think the major fail of all the other tools out there is that they are not built by actual domainers and leave out so much of what needs to be included in a good valuation.

I'm gonna tell you something that you won't want to hear and will totally ignore: you're wasting your time on this and you will eventually realize that yourself and abandon it.

I tried using AIs before, out of curiosity, with just a 3b local LLM, simply asking 'how much is domain.com worth'.

Using sales from Namebio and DNJournal it was amazingly accurate, picking narrow ranges of about $5k-10k which matched the actual selling price. Ie. $15-25k for names that sold for about $17k.

I thought this is easy as pie, I'll throw up the best appraisal site evarrr.

Then I got one that was way off. The name supposedly sold for $25k, but the AI would insist it was just about $5k (which I agreed with).

I could not get it to go above $12k, and changing stuff to make it go higher just messed up other previously 'accurate' appraisals.

Then I tried different price ranges of sold names, and they were way off too, meaning not as accurate as the lower end.

And it never rated a name as worthless until I told it to (for unregged/unsold names), then it did that too often.

Then I had to tell it that no LLL.com sells for less than 5-figures, and nobody buys hyphens except Germans, and don't rate names at 8+ figures because that almost never happens, etc etc etc, until there are so many rules you're just writing a book.

That's exactly what you're doing now. Trying to plug holes and causing other leaks to appear.

And what for? If you don't know the value of your domains, or at least what you want for them, how is a computerized parrot that operates on guesswork ever going to know?

There's no science or possible way to calculate a 'correct' domain name price, which is perhaps why you have at least 5 different values that cover literally everything: low, medium, high, "likely range", mid-to-high range and a plus sign. It's meaningless.

Good luck! :)

Has anyone ever thought of combining all the appraisal tools to come up with an average (or at least has a table showing the various valuations from each tool). For example, using:

Estibot
Godaddy GoValue
Atom Appraisal
Nameworth
Brandpa Brandbot
DNRater
Humbleworth

It's an interesting idea, but the problem, other than rate limits and scraping issues, is it's just going to be more essentially 'random' numbers.

IMO appraisal sites should not try to guess numbers at all, they should simply say in words why a domain may be valuable, how big the pool of buyers might be, caveats if any, and if they have the data, examples of relatively recent sales of similar domains.

IOW, don't come up with a price, help someone come up with a price.

That's what AI should always be, not the thing that does something instead of a human, but the thing that helps a human do something.

^Exactly

Many have tried to remove the human from the domain evaluation equation through 100% hands free Ai automation and failed. There really needs to be a human editor and chief present, otherwise, you get what you see in the majority of automated appraisal testing (Numbers all over the place with no real justification or real world reference points).

An example (Just a surface evaluation and tip of the iceberg) of domain evaluations done by a human (Publicly) can be found here (For perspective): https://www.namepros.com/threads/re...m-namepros-lander.1366151/page-3#post-9543427

See the difference?...

This is why I posted, because the problems highlighted in the thread are exactly what I saw and why I gave up trying. You're just endlessly trying to correct stuff because AIs are dumb as shit.

Fake "past sales", wrong number of letters, wrong domain name somehow, which seems to have happened in the "joynt" example. Also, not yet seen in the thread, inventing when a domain was registered, who owned it, what it was used for, etc etc.

I got to the point of just saying output a number, no text, but the valuations are no more use than an RNG and the only number that counts is what someone will pay, so it's ultimately just a waste of time.

AIs are great for creative/plagiarized text, images or videos, and aren't bad for summarizing data or texts or brainstorming, but hopeless for anything requiring even basic facts or accuracy.

Well, keep in mind this is a work in progress, and I'm building in a live environment at this point, so I may publish things like domain comps before the API is plugged in. Also, I'm not attempting to remove human insight—in fact, that's just the opposite, which is why I turned to experts here for input. I also have some experience in the domain space, having purchased my first domains in the early 90's and sold a handful of high-6-figure names, a ton of 5-25K names, and held 1000s of names that were not worth the registration fee. I don't really need to use appraisal tools. I price my names based on past experience, and honestly, I don't need to sell anything, so I just hold and hope to get a buyer at some point to pay the price I'm asking - it's not my full-time job. With that said, I still use appraisal platforms all the time just to see what they say, and I agree they all suck—in fact, not only the sites but independent domain experts out there, kind of, although some are better than the sites. But they, too, have one major problem: they are just using past sales data with some basic variables like TLD, length, industry, search volume, etc. So at the end of the day, a person or a machine, if given the right info, can give a pretty good range, but what the name is worth is what someone is willing to pay, not different than any other asset. What I want to do is combine my experience as a domainer, gather insights from other domainers, and use that to build a system as accurate as possible. The bar is set pretty low, as other domain appraisals are really bad. I'm confident that, with time, data, hard work, and experience, a tool can be built that helps understand domain value in a way that provides a realistic range, a likely value, and explains the reasons we made those assumptions. We tested Hazlo.ai's domain appraisal engine against 225 real sales from DNJournal's most recent data set and saw good results, but not good enough. Since last week's test, we have done two more updates to our model. Anyway- thanks for the input its all very appreciated.

  • 53.8% of estimates fell within the actual sale range
  • For $100K+ domains: 75% accuracy
  • 8 of 15 premium .ai domains accurately valued .ai Domain Standouts:

Well, good luck again, especially if this is a serious attempt or project. I just ended up being driven insane.

The problem is these AIs are just random/probablistic text generators, with no hard analytical ability. They just spew out guesswork, which is correct or plausible enough of the time to convince people there's some intelligence or understanding behind it, but they are not understanding what they output.

Not only does this mean if you 'fine tune' to 'correct' prices it may affect other things, even not doing anything can randomly produce different/incorrect output, because it's not based on any hard and fast logic, other than pattern recognition.

They are the wrong tech to use for this, and I would say it's far better to just draw up a list of 'rules' and apply them programmatically, without an AI, but you seem to be saying you don't even rate human evaluators who do that.

I would also say the best 'simple' AI option would be to input about 10,000 recent domain sales - price+domain - and for the AI to identify patterns in domain meanings, categories, prices, etc, if any, which can then be applied to newly submitted names.

Though again, you also seem to be saying you don't rate using past sales, so I really don't know what your prices are based on, other than trying to retrofit to known sales. That's what I did too, it's the only way to test, but it doesn't work in the sense of predicting later unknown sales. Well not before I gave up. :)

If an AI can't get decent results by using previous sales data, then there's probably just not enough rhyme or reason to domain sales to make prediction/valuation possible to any useful degree.

Since every sale is unique, an argument can be made that comparable sales are self defeating and therefore meaningless. @Sully has mentioned in this post about domainers trying to 'reverse engineer value from past sales alone' when the reasons domains A and B sold could be different (hence the old adage a domain is worth whatever the buyer pays for it).

Yet some continue down the rabbit hole, using and building valuation tools which all wildly vary in their estimates.

100% i agree projects like this can make one insane, andt he truth is, even if it's pretty accurate,e it will never make everyone happy, people all tend to think they are holding a domain worth way more than it really is - i'm guuilty of that as well and it has more than a few times worked out for me getting a premium sale when the domain typically would not demand the price - but its worth what somone is willing to pay.

The tool I built has two different valuation methods, a standard (less accurate ) and a calibrated (more accurate), both of which utilize AI / LLM, but neither is letting the AI just run wild - I agree that will never work and will get jacked up every time you make a change. The logic being used is based on rules that I have been setting up, the AI is training off data that I'm feeding it, and programming in what I want the tool to use and how - so this is a human setting the rules, weight and so on but yes the AI is searching through massive data bases like the english language dictionary, past sales, and a ton of other data points.

Anyway, I'm going to keep working on it and will continue making iterations. Maybe I crack into something right now. The goal is just to offer something that is better than what's out there to get a ballpark idea of domain value, and I think I'm pretty close to beating all the junk out there - I know that bar is low :)

Thanks again for the support, guys - now I need to focus on selling some domains

I'm gonna tell you something that you won't want to hear and will totally ignore: you're wasting your time on this and you will eventually realize that yourself and abandon it.

I tried using AIs before, out of curiosity, with just a 3b local LLM, simply asking 'how much is domain.com worth'.

Using sales from Namebio and DNJournal it was amazingly accurate, picking narrow ranges of about $5k-10k which matched the actual selling price. Ie. $15-25k for names that sold for about $17k.

I thought this is easy as pie, I'll throw up the best appraisal site evarrr.

Then I got one that was way off. The name supposedly sold for $25k, but the AI would insist it was just about $5k (which I agreed with).

I could not get it to go above $12k, and changing stuff to make it go higher just messed up other previously 'accurate' appraisals.

Then I tried different price ranges of sold names, and they were way off too, meaning not as accurate as the lower end.

And it never rated a name as worthless until I told it to (for unregged/unsold names), then it did that too often.

Then I had to tell it that no LLL.com sells for less than 5-figures, and nobody buys hyphens except Germans, and don't rate names at 8+ figures because that almost never happens, etc etc etc, until there are so many rules you're just writing a book.

That's exactly what you're doing now. Trying to plug holes and causing other leaks to appear.

And what for? If you don't know the value of your domains, or at least what you want for them, how is a computerized parrot that operates on guesswork ever going to know?

There's no science or possible way to calculate a 'correct' domain name price, which is perhaps why you have at least 5 different values that cover literally everything: low, medium, high, "likely range", mid-to-high range and a plus sign. It's meaningless.

Good luck! :)
We’ve presumably reached an era in which such a tool is technically feasible to build.

The real question is why, and at what cost.

Now, this is just a feeling, but it’s hard to see how some of the other creators truly want to create and maintain a fair and accurate tool.

What differentiates @bmotive from the outset is his genuine desire to actually make it work.

When looking at the tool I built, make sure to look at the calibrated values - it's the one under the main valuation (soon to be legacy) - that one is, so far, reaching much more realistic numbers. My goal with this tool is to 1. Make my life easier and let me present my domains to potential buyers with data that supports my asking prices. 2. to give other domain owners that same ability free of cost.

And then buyer will counter with GoDaddy’s value and they trust GD. I believe that if GD ever updates its embarrassingly bad tool, they will display it more prominently than now and it’s game over.

My worry is this: every new appraisal tool in effect teaches all LLMs that the idea of an accurate appraisal makes sense. When it doesn’t.

Hazlo .com just sold for $110k. If the buyer is also interested in acquiring the .ai, the tool you built is upping the value of your .ai, because it kinda shows that you don’t have to sell it.

Very true, and when someone does that, I, as you, ignore them. GD appraisal is a joke, but that joke isn't funny when you are fighting to get a good price for your domain. I get that. I want to create something that provides a much more realistic valuation. Now, when my tool shows the domain is worth $10,000 its sure better than GD, which says it's worth $500 with no data to back it up. But you still want 100k for that domain, that's your price, and you should stand by it - it's worth what someone is willing to pay. At the end of the day i'm going to use my tool to come up with baseline numbers, but that does not mean I'm going to sell my domains for the price my tool determined is fair market value that's still up to me the domain owner and that price can far exeed any valuation tool - which is just intended to be a baseline. You are correct that a tool like this will teach LLMs that the idea of an accurate appraisal makes sense: the smarter I make it, the more accurate it becomes, the more confident the LLM becomes, and it will be shared across LLMs. But I don't see this as bad. Again, at the end of the day, it just created a level playing field, but I can guarantee domain names will still sell for far more and far less than their value. Based on what someone is willing to pay and what someone is willing to sell.

This tool sometimes produces excellent short descriptions, so thank you for that.:xf.smile:
