Tentang talk ini
Caleb Kow argues that a good domain name is how customers find, trust, contact, and buy from a business online, and that AI makes finding one easier. He shares Verisign figures, including 371.7 million registered domain names worldwide, about 5.5% industry growth over three years, and rising registrations in Southeast Asia. He presents NameStudio API, which turns a plain domain lookup into a conversation using LLMs, supports Bahasa, falls back to simple lookup when no LLM is needed, and is free within limits. A live demo shows the Dewaweb domain advisor built on it, with controls for length, extensions, and style. Useful for developers and agencies building naming or SEO tools.
