Recently, the owner of the domain Go.ai publicly revealed on the X platform that the short, punchy .ai domain had received offers as high as $1.4 million and was close to a deal, but ultimately withdrew, resulting in the deal not being completed.
@meabed, a veteran in the AI field, stated that he abandoned the transaction to retain Go.ai, intending to use it for future AI project development and brand building, rather than simply selling it for profit. A visit to the Go.ai website shows the domain’s price has been updated to $7 million, with a note stating “Joint ventures and collaborations are acceptable,” indicating that while the owner is not currently selling the domain, he remains willing to explore commercial partnerships to jointly develop the domain’s value.
This $1.4 million bid is of significant significance: if the transaction goes through, it would not only far surpass Wisdom.ai’s previous record of $705,000 for a .ai domain, becoming the highest price ever paid for this category, but would also rank among the top five highest-priced domain names sold globally by 2025. Go.ai’s core value lies in the action-packed and highly recognizable brand image of the word “Go.” Combined with the “.ai” suffix, a name specific to the field of artificial intelligence, this combination is considered by the industry to have immense commercial potential, a key factor in the buyer’s willingness to pay a seven-figure price.
While the failed transaction is regrettable, it also reflects the current state of the industry: premium AI domain names, due to their scarcity, hold onto their long-term strategic value, leading owners to prefer long-term holdings over short-term cash flows. A successful transaction would not only break the .ai domain transaction record but also potentially reshape the current AI domain market. This turning point also provides a new benchmark for future domain name transactions and valuations.
