Artificial intelligence is already having a modest impact on how I run my business. Unlike quite a few colleagues who have been ringing the register because of AI-related domain names, I don’t have many AI or .AI domain names in my portfolio.

I have been using AI to help with a variety of tasks related to my business. For the most part, I am using Chat.com and Grok. Occasionally, if I want more suggestions or am running into issues, I will use Claude from Perplexity. I am open to trying others though.

Here are some of the ways I use AI for my business:

In one of the largest publicly reported domain name sales of 2025 so far, Andrew Rosener reported that he sold ABTC.com for $699,999. Andrew shared this sale on the most recent episode of Domain Sherpa, which I have embedded above (discussion starts around the 17 minute mark).

Although Andrew Rosener is a domain broker and CEO of Media Options, the domain name was acquired via Afternic. The BIN price had been $749,000.

The Linea.com domain name was in an expiry auction at NameJet that closed this afternoon. The highest bid was $200,000, and I am pretty certain this auction will successfully close. There were two bidders who bid on this domain name past the $70k mark.

When this auction closes, it will be the tenth largest domain name auction on NameJet, according to NameBio records. It will be slightly higher than the 2021 sale of Operate.com, and just lower than the $201,100 sale of 281.com in 2016. We are early in the year, but this $200,000 sale will tie for the 10th largest publicly reported sale of the year on DNJournal once it closes.

Rob from Snagged reported that a deal he was working on was put on hold given the market volatility caused by the Trump tariffs. At the moment, the DJIA is down 3%, S&P is down nearly 4%, and the Nasdaq is down nearly 5%. People are understandably concerned how tariffs will impact international trade, and that left businesses concerned:

Not only am I concerned about domain name sales, I am also concerned about LTO deals that are in process. Will the market conditions and economic uncertainty cause people to purchase fewer domain names? Will people leasing domain names need to back out of deals as they tighten their wallets?
