domainai 0.1.1

AI-powered domain name generator and availability checker

domainai

AI-powered domain name generator and availability checker. Describe what you want in plain English, and domainai generates creative domain names, checks their availability, and shows results in a beautiful terminal UI.

Features

• AI-Powered — Uses LLMs to brainstorm creative, brandable domain names
• Provider-Agnostic — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Groq (BYOK)
• Dual Availability Check — Domainr API + WHOIS for accurate results
• Smart Search — --batch and --until modes for flexible searching
• Watch Mode — Continuous background scanning with configurable intervals
• History — SQLite database prevents rechecking the same domains
• Beautiful Output — Rich terminal UI with colored results
• CSV Export — Append-mode CSV for tracking all results

Quick Start

# Install (Groq is included by default — free tier!)
pip install domainai

# First-time setup (interactive)
domainai setup

# Search for domains
domainai search "url shortener, short, energetic" --tlds com,io

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or higher
• An API key from at least one supported AI provider

Installation

# Default install — includes Groq (free tier, recommended)
pip install domainai

# Add another provider on top of the default
pip install "domainai[openai]"      # OpenAI / ChatGPT
pip install "domainai[anthropic]"   # Anthropic / Claude
pip install "domainai[gemini]"      # Google Gemini
pip install "domainai[all]"         # All providers at once

Note (macOS/zsh): Only the optional extras ([openai], [all], etc.) need quoting on zsh. The default pip install domainai works without any brackets.

Setup

Run the interactive setup wizard:

domainai setup

This will:

1. Ask which AI provider you want to use
2. Show where to get an API key
3. Test the connection
4. Save config to ~/.domainai/config.json

Manual Configuration

You can also configure via .env file:

AI_PROVIDER=groq
AI_API_KEY=gsk_your_key_here
AI_MODEL=llama-3.3-70b-versatile    # optional

Or via CLI flags:

domainai search "my idea" --provider groq --api-key gsk_xxx

Priority order: CLI flags > .env file > ~/.domainai/config.json

Usage

Search (Batch Mode)

Generate names, check them, done:

# Generate 20 names (default), check with .com TLD
domainai search "url shortener, short, energetic"

# Specify TLDs and batch size
domainai search "url shortener, short" --tlds com,io,link --batch 30

Search (Until Mode)

Keep searching until N available domains are found:

# Search until 5 available domains are found
domainai search "url shortener, short" --tlds com,io --until 5

# Combine: generate up to 50 names, but stop at 3 available
domainai search "url shortener" --tlds com,io --batch 50 --until 3

Watch Mode

Continuous background scanning:

# Check every 30 seconds, stop at 5 available
domainai watch "url shortener, short" --tlds com,io --interval 30 --until 5

Press Ctrl+C to stop gracefully.

Terminal

Real example — finding domains for an AI personal trainer app:

$ domainai search "AI personal trainer app, energetic, motivating, modern" \
    --tlds com,io,ai --until 5

🔍  Searching domains...
   Prompt: "AI personal trainer app, energetic, motivating, modern"
   TLDs: com, io, ai | Batch: 15 | Until: 5 available
