It’s not AIifying one thing. It’s AIifying the entire work flow… every detail. Allowing domain names is just one aspect of it.

The agent does everything. “Make a website that does…“ and it can handle everything from start to finish. It’s that good now.



The question was what's in the dots. I have no doubt that agentic systems are good enough to buy domains and make one-shot websites from a prompt, but what is the legitimate use case for which you'd want to repeatedly perform "Make a website that does..." on a new domain?


I had to conduct a remote interview for a company I just joined and we had no tools to do it. So I vibe coded a live code sharing app. That shares an editor and is able to run code in a sandbox. This was last night. The interview I just finished an hour ago.

In the middle of the interview there was a bug where our sessions no longer synced. So that’s a downside. But before that the interview was perfect.


"Legitimate"? What scams are you implying are happening? A friend of mine wanted a site to help him sell DJ lessons. Another friend has a haircutting business that wanted a better site. Massage therapy. Etc.


One obvious scam, for example, would be someone trying to perform some reputation-destroying action and laundering domains to do so. Another might be creating a bunch of SEO slop domains to try and farm ad revenue on various topics with AI content; Google seems to be doing better at downranking those but I'm sure it's still a thing.

I suppose it's possible that someone's just running a charity Wordpress-like operation for their friends who all want websites.
