When I interviewed Rick Schwartz at the beginning of the year he mentioned he purchased female first names in .ai including $20K for Betty.ai.
Rick mentioned:
Well, let me put it this way. One of the big sectors of Ai is virtual girlfriends. And so I have four female first names ending in Ai. Like Betty.Ai and Selina.Ai for example.
Greg Isenberg who I follow on Twitter is now featured in an article by The New York Post on AI girlfriends and how they could become real big business.
Greg had tweeted he met a 24M who was spending $10,000 a month on AI girlfriends. When you read a lot of replies so many are either shocked or have no understanding.
I always thought this was a no brainer if you pay attention to people, society and relationships. I am far from a technology genius, but after seeing the movie HER back in 2013I said to the person I saw it with, “This is just the start, there will be dating services that are completely artificial intelligence.”
I just had no idea had to build one but I certainly thought it was a no brainer.
The market cap for Match Group is $9B. Someone will build the AI-version of Match Group and make $1B+.

I met some guy last night in Miami who admitted to me that he spends $10,000/month on "AI girlfriends".
I thought he was kidding. But, he's a 24 year old single guy who loves… pic.twitter.com/wqnODwggAI
It’s not just men seeking women.
Replika, the AI chatbot software, offers users the chance to create their own boyfriend or husband for just a few hundred dollars. Replika no longer allows adult content, said Eugenia Kuyda, Replika’s CEO. Now, when Replika users suggest X-rated activity, its humanlike chatbots text back “Let’s do something we’re both comfortable with
Platforms such as Nomi.ai and Soulmate even encourage erotic role play.
Andy Booth purchased Girlfriend.ai for $170,000 and has a waiting list up on the site. He could be sitting on a potential goldmine if he gets the development right.
I think these first name.ai and FirstnameAi.com will continue to be a niche that has decent demand, of course do your own research.
The guys who think AI girlfriends are gonna be a big hit are forgetting the POINT of a girlfriend. The point is to have sex with a chick. A chatbot doesn’t do that.
I want a female robot girlfriend who cooks cleans and doesn’t nag to replace my fat disgusting wife Ai girlfriend is for virgins
.im seems to be the 4th most popular AI chatbot tld after .ai / .io / .bot and so I got eve.im but probably more as an alternative to alexa / siri than a girlfriend
Have seen a lot of first names being taken in .im too in the recent past, interesting times ahead for sure
Andy’s purchase makes perfect senses, keyword. Ricks is such a stretch my head is literally turned side ways reading this logic. Girlfriends have names so if I own a name of a girl ending in .AI I will target the segment looking for AI gf’s named Betty…LOL
Needed a laugh to start the week.
