It’s a nice 3L but little synergy with AI. What company wants to call itself SMB or small & medium business. It might be a good redirect or directory/lead-gen site but unless there’s specific orgs with the SMB acronym (let’s say Slovakia Mercedes Benz but you’re at risk of UDRP if you target them) or better, one with synergy with AI (I’ll make up something hot like Sentient Matrix Bot), I don’t see this getting much above $250)
Note: I checked on namebio for 3L.ai sales in the past year and there are a bunch of $xxxx sales but equally a bunch of $100 sales (ibs, sso). There’s even a $xxxxx sale (sit) but you can clearly see what the higher value sales domains mean. They’re usually strong words (win) or very clear popular strong acronyms (mvp). My hypothesis is either strong 3L words or tech-specific words and acronyms win. GD values smb.ai at $823 so the jury’s out. How long can you wait to find out?
Edit: Also .ai requires two-year reg for a total of $160 at Namecheap. Dunno if it’s cheaper elsewhere but again, how long are you willing to wait (and pay renewals)?
