Powering the Future of Innovation: How Companies Are Building on .ai Domains

The .ai domain has rapidly evolved from a niche TLD into the digital home of the global artificial intelligence (AI) movement. Identity Digital is now at the heart of that transformation. 

Since partnering with the Government of Anguilla (GOA), Identity Digital has helped scale the .ai domain into a thriving ecosystem. It has doubled the number of registrars, grown registrations by over 60% year-over-year, and increased revenue for Anguilla through strategic auction strategies and expanded global reach. By investing in modern infrastructure, 24/7 support, and trusted registrar tools like DropZone, Identity Digital is enabling AI innovators to build, grow, and scale their digital presence with confidence.

Today, from predictive analytics and AI agents to emergency healthcare and deepfake detection, the companies building on .ai domains are redefining what’s possible with AI technology. Here’s a closer look at how some of these pioneers are using .ai domains to frame the future:

Agent-Powered Experiences

AI agents are no longer just experimental. They’re becoming core tools for productivity, automation, and decision-making.

These companies are great examples of that progress:

• AIagentstore.ai serves as a marketplace to find and deploy AI agents for task automation, content creation, and more.
• agent.ai connects users to a range of AI agents designed to assist with workflows across industries.

These platforms are shaping what many are calling the “agent economy,” and their .ai domains send a clear message: this is where cutting-edge tools live.

Innovation Labs and Tech-First Brands

Whether it’s building new AI models or pushing the boundaries of what's possible in technology, many of the most inventive projects are anchored by .ai domains. For instance: 

• Tech.ai provides AI solutions for inventory optimization and demand forecasting.
• aitechdragons.ai publishes NewsGPT and even created the world’s first AI “presidential candidate,” Abraham Lincoln—exploring the intersection of AI and media.
• visiontech.ai specializes in computer vision applications powered by advanced AI algorithms, such as facial recognition, object tracking, and video analysis.

On the experimental front:

• pulselabs.ai, launchlabs.ai, and worldlabs.ai are pushing UX testing, marketing automation, and 3D environment modeling with AI.
• priorlabs.ai built TabPFN, a foundation model for boosting prediction tasks in data science and machine learning (ML).

These startups and platforms are taking experimentation to the next level while operationalizing AI at scale.

‍AI for Health and Human Impact

Some of the most profound use cases for AI are unfolding in the healthcare space, and .ai domains are further helping to improve visibility and trust.

For example, the following companies show how the healthcare industry is moving beyond legacy technology and focusing on modernization while using this domain: 

• pihealth.ai and pephealth.ai streamline clinical R&D and analyze patient feedback.
• genhealth.ai helps providers automate administrative tasks and improve engagement.
• corti.ai supports emergency services with real-time analysis during critical health calls.

From back-end efficiencies to front-line diagnostics, these platforms are improving health outcomes and saving lives.

Data-Centric and Deep Learning Disruptors

Data and AI have been intertwined since the AI evolution. As a result, companies focused on extracting value from data and developing the deep learning models that make AI work are firmly establishing themselves in the .ai namespace. Companies demonstrating this include: 

• data.ai - which offers mobile and app analytics at scale.
• data-tech.ai, specializing in staffing for data science, analytics, and ML roles.

In the deep learning space we also see: 

• deepmedia.ai detecting deepfakes with high accuracy.‍
• deepcognition.ai and deep6.ai focusing on intelligent document processing and clinical trial support.‍
• deeplearning.ai, founded by Andrew Ng, remaining one of the most trusted education platforms in the AI community.‍
• deepfoundations.ai exploring the theoretical limits and possibilities of deep learning.

These companies and organizations reflect the sophistication and scientific rigor driving AI’s next chapter.

Registrar Support Driving Ecosystem Growth

The .ai growth story is being powered by a network of registrar partners who recognize the domain’s value and potential. As Richard Kirkendall, CEO of Namecheap, puts it: “.ai domains have become instrumental to the success of startups and innovators within the AI ecosystem” and “the migration of the .ai domain to Identity Digital’s platform is a transformative step forward, enhancing the trust and scalability needed to support startups as they establish and grow their digital presence.” With 148 registrars now offering .ai, Identity Digital’s partnership model is benefiting everyone involved - from developers and startups to national economies and global consumers.

The .ai domain has evolved from a digital address to a signal of transformation, trust, and forward momentum. As AI continues to shape our future, .ai is where this technology evolution begins for many companies.
