Quote-ready findings
Key findings
"4,832 of 5,085 ai{word}.com domains were already registered in this snapshot."
"Only 253 names were available, an availability rate of 5%."
"Short base words were almost exhausted: 1.1% of 3-4 letter base-word domains were available."
"The most open buckets skewed longer or awkward: 9-10 letter base words had 11.4% availability."
"Many available names require caution because they are formal, technical, negative, adult, medical, geographic, or brand-looking words."
What is exhausted vs open
The cleanest short patterns are the most exhausted.
Availability by base-word length
Short words are scarce. The more available pool mostly shifts toward longer base words, which are less likely to feel like crisp startup brands.
| Base word | Checked | Available | Available rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-4 | 1,332 | 15 | 1.1% |
| 5-6 | 1,616 | 55 | 3.4% |
| 7-8 | 1,289 | 86 | 6.7% |
| 9-10 | 848 | 97 | 11.4% |
More open buckets
The remaining availability is not evenly distributed. Open names often fall into technical, formal, or awkward language.
| Bucket | Checked | Available | Available rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Negative Or Risky | 37 | 28 | 75.7% |
| Technical | 37 | 23 | 62.2% |
| Ed | 113 | 33 | 29.2% |
| Ly | 29 | 8 | 27.6% |
| Ous | 24 | 4 | 16.7% |
| Commercial | 60 | 9 | 15.0% |

Browsable available names
A curated look at what was still open.
This is not a raw recommendation list. It is a small curated sample from the available CSV to show the shape of the remaining market. Always re-check live availability, pricing, trademark conflicts, and brand fit before registering anything.
Most readable available names
The clearest names left in this scan. Treat them as leads, not recommendations: verify availability, trademarks, and meaning before using any domain.
Technical and data-flavored leftovers
Open names skew toward technical, file, formatting, and documentation language rather than broad consumer-brand words.
Formal or legal-sounding leftovers
Several available names are readable but formal. They may fit compliance, contracts, legal AI, or research tools better than consumer apps.
Compact leftovers
Short names were mostly gone. The short names left are usually acronyms, protocol-like terms, or words that need extra diligence.
Methodology
How the scan worked
- Pattern
- ai{word}.com prefix domains
- Checked
- 5,085
- Scan window
- Jul 1, 2026, 11:59 to Jul 1, 2026, 13:59 UTC
- Method
- RDAP availability checks
- Download
- 253 available rows
- The scan tested ai{word}.com prefix domains from a filtered word list.
- Availability was checked with RDAP responses and recorded as registered or available at scan time.
- The available CSV is a snapshot, not a guarantee. Domain availability changes daily.
- The CSV does not perform trademark, brand-conflict, pricing, or registrar checkout checks.
- The public page curates a small browsable subset and links to a full available-list CSV for reproducibility.
