OpenAI Invests Over $10M to Secure Chat.com Domain

OpenAI has reportedly acquired the domain chat.com, previously owned by HubSpot's Dharmesh Shah, for over $10 million, aligning with its rebranding efforts. Shah had initially purchased the domain for $10 million, believing in the potential of chat-based user interfaces. The domain's sale price was recorded at $15.5 million, though OpenAI has not confirmed the exact amount. This acquisition reflects OpenAI's strategic moves in the AI and chatbot space, despite not hosting ChatGPT on the new domain.
