AI Business Name & Domain Checker

    Inspiration: The first step of starting a new project is also the most frustrating: coming up with a good name and ensuring the corresponding .com domain isn't taken.

    Target Customers: All aspiring entrepreneurs: SaaS founders, e-commerce sellers, indie developers, bloggers.

    Pain Points:

    • Creative Drought: Names thought up are either too mundane or too weird.
    • Domain Unavailability: Finally think of a good name, only to find the .com domain is long gone.
    • Tedious Process: Jumping back and forth between naming tools and domain registrars is inefficient.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): An AI tool that combines business naming with real-time domain checking. Users input business keywords and style preferences, AI generates a series of creative names and real-time checks each name's .com domain availability.

    MVP Core Features:

    • Input:
      1. Keywords: Describe business core, like "AI, photo, editor."
      2. Style Preference: e.g., "Modern (e.g., Vercel)," "Playful (e.g., Mailchimp)," "Descriptive (e.g., Dropbox)."
    • AI Name Generation: AI generates a list of 20-30 names.
    • Real-time Domain Check: Next to the name list, real-time display of .com (and .io, .ai, etc.) domain availability status ("Available" or "Registered").
    • Social Media Handle Check: (Optional) Simultaneously check if the name is available as usernames on Twitter, Instagram.
    • Favorites List: Users can save liked, domain-available names to a favorites list.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Low. Core is LLM and domain API combination.

    • LLM API Calls:
      • Name Generation: GPT-4 Turbo or Claude 3 Sonnet. Prompts can include naming rules like "avoid hyphens," "keep short and memorable."
    • Hugging Face Open Source Models:
      • meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct completely capable.
    • Core Technology:
      • Domain Checking: Need to integrate domain availability checking API like GoDaddy API or Namecheap API. This is the tool's key component. After AI generates names, backend immediately calls this API concurrently to check domain status.
