Looks interesting. I'll try it.

#12How is this more useful than the current state of domain name idea generators, which also do a search for the availability of the domain? It just seems, slower? The feat of doing that with ai alone might make an interesting blog post. But the end result as a product isn’t something I’m going to use just because it’s using ai. The job to be done is not to use ai to do x. Tho I would be interested to read the blog post…
One thing I feel is that the current domain idea generators have a complicated UI wrapped on top of AI which makes it hard to iterate on the ideas and have a follow up conversaion. I felt that having a chat UI with availablity check is a better way to handle that.
This is just the initial version and I am going to improve the prompts probabally finetune it to give better results.
Also I will write the blog post soon.

Not just slower, far more compute intensive.
We're at this weird point where devs will both complain that VSCode is slow and bad because it runs on electron, and then insist that every decision and line of code they make runs through a giant Rube Goldberg machine before they type it.

#17I asked for domains related to golf courses and it returned all pet related domains. I wonder what happened.

#18I don't really get it how it works. I wrote down a bunch of keywords but what it spat out was a long sentence with most of the keywords and perhaps some related ones together. Not really cool or useful to me.
I’m going to be honest, this just sounds like user error to me. Try typing something simple like “Can you generate some domain names related to bike sales?”. The results aren’t perfect but I thought it was pretty interesting and fairly useful. If you’re doing nothing but typing keywords with no other information such as “Can you generate domain names relating to the following keywords” of course it’s just going to sp…
I typed two words and it generated some domain names. The website doesn’t explain if you should type in words or whole sentences.

#19What do you mean you "taught" ChatGPT. In what way did you teach ChatGPT to find cool domain names?

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's what I always wondered about this kinds of services. They could easily sniper all the cool domains they found for you.
I guess that would be too expensive. Even if with all the new domain extensions you can just find an easy alternative.
Well, hypothetically, if they do, then they just buy the `.com` and wait for the Startup/Company to become popular and sell it to them or their competitor(s). So far, any succeeding company beyond a certain clip, always buys the `.com` at a price, eventually.
