"One of the commercials that had people talking was for a new website called . The commercial informed users to go to the website so they can reserve a username of their choice, even suggesting that names like "Elon" were available. The site went down almost immediately after the Super Bowl commercial aired as it struggled with the influx of traffic."
"As of right now, users can simply go to the website, sign up with a Google login, and claim their own @ handle along with a separate handle for their AI. After finding two available handles, the user must then confirm their identity with a credit card. However, the site doesn't charge users anything for the transaction confirmation. After that, users are informed that their handles are reserved."
AI.com aired a Super Bowl commercial that prompted heavy traffic and an immediate site outage. The website is owned by Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com. Users can sign up with Google, reserve an @ handle and a separate AI handle, and must confirm identity with a credit card but are not charged. A footnote promises verification for celebrities with more than 100,000 followers to match their X account. Marszalek positions AI.com as an AI assistant platform with social aspects. The domain sold for $30 million less than a $100 million asking price, implying a roughly $70 million sale.
