OpenAI Acquires Historic 'Chat.com' from HubSpot CTO in Multi-Million Deal to Boost ChatGPT Access
Nov 9, 2024, 08:02 AM
OpenAI has acquired 'chat.com', one of the internet's oldest domains, to enhance accessibility to its AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The domain was previously owned by HubSpot CTO Dharmesh Shah, who reportedly purchased it last year for $15.5 million. Shah gave a cryptic prompt to figure out the sale price to OpenAI, hinting at a profitable transaction. The acquisition aims to simplify access by redirecting 'chat.com' directly to ChatGPT's website. The move underscores OpenAI's efforts, under CEO Sam Altman, to expand ChatGPT's reach and secure prime digital real estate in the AI era.
