Here’s everything that closed at $500 or more.
Dynadot’s monthly .ai expired domain name auction ended last Monday. It was New Year’s Day and I wasn’t able to keep tabs on the auction. However, I now have the final bid prices.
Assuming all of these transactions go through, the auction will gross over $300,000. That’s less than the auction that closed in December, although the inventory probably wasn’t as strong. It didn’t help that the auction ended on a major holiday, either.
Vision.ai led the pack with a six-figure closing price. Here are all of the domains that closed at $500 or more:

Mark Thorpe says
If the domain is not Ai related, you’re wasting your money buying .Ai domains IMO.
Andrew Allemann says
The top three .ai domain sales we know about are you.ai, stack.ai, and npc.ai. Are the second level domains “related” to AI in an of themselves?
Paul Overton says
.AI possesses everything needed to become utterly insignificant. Like the hype cycles before it (xyz, co, io, tv, mobi, app, others), this one too begins with excessive hope and over-the-top optimism. Companies rebrand to incorporate ‘AI’ in their names, label their offerings as ‘AI’, and fill their media releases with ‘AI’ references.
After the initial excitement fades off and things calm down, reality sets in. We find ourselves in a world that’s more familiar than revolutionary. It’s a world guided by basic principles, where history tends to repeat itself, and where money shifts from those pursuing dreams to those who market them.
Igor Gabrielan says
If Google ADS is laying off 30,000 employees working in advertising in order to replace their AI (I have ads.ai), then this is not a mirage that is dissipating, it is an inevitable reality that is realizing the age-old dreams of scientists and science fiction writers.
Steve says
Check the well-funded AI startups that were part of Y-Combinator
They’re using .com or .ai and some of those .com companies are using GET___.com and TRY___.com
Will all companies online be .AI companies by 2030? maybe most
But until then, if you’re providing AI, you want to let the web know
If you’re an AI startup seeking funding, and you send a pitchdeck to VC groups, which of the following domains signaling the brand of your company might result in a review, if the founders don’t already have exits on their belts:
1) SongAi.com
2) Song.AI
3) Song.co
4) Songly.com
5) Songster.com
6) MySong.net
Maybe all? Maybe none?
But at least the first 2 won’t require a costly rebranding, if there are no TM issues
