Outbid a bot for EMD "Free Domain Generator" and turned it into a live AI tool

I’m a developer, and while I’m not a full-time domain investor, I recently had an auction experience that I think you guys will appreciate, which led to a weekend project I want to share.

Going into the weekend, I spotted an EMD dropping at auction: "free domain generator .com". Exactly 30 minutes before the auction ended, a massive drop-catching bot joined. The logs showed it was auto-bidding by $1 every minute to exhaust human bidders (its profile showed it held over 38k parked domains). I placed a proxy bid $20 higher just to test its ceiling, and surprisingly, the bot gave up. I won the EMD for $48.

Since the domain is literally "Free Domain Generator", putting a $9/mo paywall on it (like most AI wrappers do to cover API costs) felt like a scam. It had to be 100% free to use, no logins required.

To make the math work, I looked onto registrar's affiliate programs. A single domain registration commission should covers thousands of LLM API requests, keeping the tool completely free for the end user.

I know you guys use a lot of tools daily, so I tried to build something that actually saves time:
  1. Context-Aware AI: No random dictionary word mashing. It uses modern LLMs to generate highly brandable names based on custom sliders (Uniqueness, Length, Topics)
  2. Instant Availability Check: It instantly pings registrar APIs in the background. Taken domains are visually crossed out so you don't waste time on false positives
  3. Live Price Comparison: It aggregates live registration prices across top providers so you instantly see the cheapest place to register the drop or new reg
I’d love your honest feedback. What other registrars should I add to the price comparison feature? What else could I add to the functionality?
