Inspiration

When looking for new brand names my go-to strategy was to prompt ChatGPT for names and manually checking the domain availablility of each generated name one by one. So when this hackathon came up I thought it was a good time to automate this process.

What it does

Select a pre-made prompt or write your own and then have OpenAI GPT-4 generate unique domain names for you. The tool will automatically check if the domain names are still available.

How I built it

The entire app works client-side and the user provides their own API keys, which allows the user to pay for their own AI and WHOIS Lookup costs. To keep the cost for the user as as low as possible we first do a free Google DNS Lookup of every generated domain, and only if the domain is not in use (no DNS entries), then we send the domain to Whoxy for a WHOIS Lookup.

Challenges I ran into

None, everything worked really well and Bolt built the app just like I envisioned it. It worked so well that i started over and tried to build the entire app in just one prompt so i can enter the One-Shot challenge, and Bolt mastered that as well.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Ease of use of the app and the fact that we can provide the tool for free.

What we learned

Bolt is pretty cool.

What's next for NameSeekr

Maybe add more prompt templates for different brand name styles to get even better generation results.
