The .ai Rush Passes One Million Names: Nine Short .ai Brands for AI Companies

The .ai ending started as the country code of Anguilla, a small Caribbean island, and has become the address many AI companies choose. In January 2026 the Government of Anguilla announced that .ai had passed one million registered domain names, up from an official count of 598,007 on 2 January 2025 (Domain Name Wire).

This article looks at how fast .ai has grown, with figures and their sources, and introduces nine short .ai names for AI companies.

Figures last checked: October 2026.

1. From a country code to the address of AI

According to the IMF, .ai registrations rose from 144,000 in 2022 to 354,000 in 2023. That year the domain brought Anguilla EC$87 million (about US$32 million), just over 20% of total government revenue. Growth continued: Ministry of Finance figures reported by Anguilla Focus put .ai revenue for 2025 at about EC$230 million (around US$85 million).

2. Why short names stand out

With more than a million names registered, a short .ai name that is easy to say, spell and remember is harder to find. Short names work well in a product name, an app icon and a spoken recommendation, and the .ai ending already tells people what the company does.

3. Two kinds of short .ai names

The nine names below share the same extension and fall into two groups. In the first, .ai completes a word: Redefin.ai reads as "redefine", Reimagin.ai as "reimagine" and Streamlin.ai as "streamline". The second group is short brandables: compact names that a company can fill with its own meaning.
