OpenAI purchased Chat.com, including to its assortment of high-profile domains.
As of this morning, Chat.com now redirects to OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the acquisition by way of e mail.
Chat.com is without doubt one of the older domains on the net, having been registered in September 1996. Last 12 months, it was reported that HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah acquired Chat.com for $15.5 million, making it one of many prime two all-time publicly reported area gross sales.
Shah introduced final March that he’d offered Chat.com to an unnamed purchaser. And late at this time, in a submit on X, he confirmed that OpenAI was that purchaser — implying that he’d been paid in OpenAI shares.
The area identify doesn’t seem to have modified fingers because it offered final 12 months, indicating that OpenAI isn’t internet hosting ChatGPT on Chat.com — so this in all probability doesn’t signify a model change.
OpenAI declined to say how a lot it paid for Chat.com.
