Show HN: Namer.ai, AI (RNN) powered domain name generator
- HeavyTransport 8y agoHi HN! namer.ai is an AI powered domain name generator we built as a side project. My wife was trying to name her blog and I threw out an offhand comment over dinner about how we could totally build an AI to do that. She asked why we never actually build any of these things we talk about and it turned into a challenge. By late that night we had a dataset of a million domain names and were generating text that looked enough like domain names to encourage us to keep going. The names aren't all perfect but there are some really good ones in there! There are also some hilarious ones in there. For some reason the internet seems to be biased towards chickens and Seattle. www.hackerseek.com is available for example, as is www.stonestartup.com We're using a character-level RNN to generate domain names which we match against the user's query with word vector similarity. There are a lot of domain name generators out there but none seem to generate results anything like ours. For example the model learned that some domains are named with overlapping letters such as fashionistash.com for fashionista and stash. Would love to get advice on where to go from here. Are the results enough better than what's out there? How would you go about promoting something in such a crowded space?
