Surprisingly great suggestions. However, it shows some .coms to be available when they're not. Either way, neat work!
One of the suggestions included: techstartup.com. I thought, no way that one is available, and unfortunately it isn't.
Great app! Why don’t link to a registrar? You would earn some money and it’s convenient for users like me who actually just found a good domain name! PS: actually, it suggested “gettalent.com” was available (green), but it isn’t.

Yup, someone's suggested that. I might do it going forward, if it's allowed, but for the first day I tried to prioritize getting it out there. Also, I have another project for which I store a huge amount of data, and as it turns out, data costs a lot of money to store! Depends on the size of the list, I might be better off paying for the Domainr API.
According to a quick google search there are about 367million domains names registered. The max length is 253. So: 367000000 * 253 bytes = 92.8GB As you only need to know the domain exists. In reality it would be smaller than that as the average length will be much shorted. I expect 10-20GB You could get clever and use a bloom filter to save space, falling back to the api.

Thank you! I will definitely add these to a list of new features and get them shipped. Btw, I just switched the API, so .com checking should be available again. Unlike the old API, this one will mark something as "available" whether it's actually not-taken, or if it costs $9,000 to buy. Not ideal, as I think a lot of us would prefer actually cheap domains, but it's a midway solution to make it work right away.
Maybe you could add an indicator that the domain is taken but for sale? On a related note the whole business of domain squatting is bullshit and needs a better resolution system.
One of the problems is that no one wants to "spoil" their domains. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've pinged some domain owners before asking to rent their domains, and they said no, suggesting that once I've tainted their domain with my project, it is not longer as valuable.
If we could put 90% of the squatted domains for rent, even if it was like $100/m in rent, it could open so many opportunities!
I wish user feedback could be incorporated into the AI model. For example, I entered what I feel is the most important business description of all time, the one from the 1996-02-23 Dilbert: "My company will hold village meetings to boast of our skills and curse the devil-spawned end-users. Sometimes we juggle. At the last minute we slam out some code and go roller skating." An example result was MeetingCurse.com. I f…
I would definitely pay for this tool. There are some good suggestions on how to monetize this already, but I would pay for a longer list of recommendations and some of the advanced features people suggested, like being able to fine tune my results.
Also, if you’re trying to do SEO, the phrase I searched for was “company name generator”.

Same here! If there is a way to skip domains that are taken, that would be amazing.
Also, I don't think too many people would mind if you linked up the resultant domains to some affiliate program.
