Dharmesh (@dharmesh) just put out an email announcing his domain value estimator at DomainEst​​.ai (redirects to AI agent on agent​​.ai).

If you buy, sell, or collect domains, try it out. I think it's one of the best available.

Here's how Dharmesh says it works under the hood:

First: It Gathers Recent Market Data
The agent vacuums up fresh domain-deal headlines and recent sales data to help inform the estimate. It's basically like knowing what similar houses in your neighbourhood sold for last month.

Second: It Leverages My Transaction History
I gave it access to my own private domain transaction data (and yes, I've bought and sold quite a few over the years including chat​​.com to OpenAI). This provides real-world data points that aren't publicly available elsewhere.

Third: It Scans Current Marketplace Listings
The agent then combs live domain marketplace listings to triangulate a better valuation, giving you context on what similar domains are currently listed for.

Fourth: It Applies Advanced Reasoning
Using OpenAI's o3 model, the agent thinks through all these factors like a seasoned domain appraiser would. Think Sherlock Holmes with a point to prove.

Fifth: It Shows Its Work
Instead of just giving you a number, you get the full reasoning in plain English, along with

You don’t need to build a large portfolio to be successful.

If you're happy and profitable, then you’re on the right path.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
