OpenAI , the company that developed the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT , has acquired the highly sought-after domain name Chat.com – but the purchase price remains undisclosed. Visitors to Chat.com are now being redirected to ChatGPT.
The information was first revealed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in an 8-character tweet: Chat.com
Chat.com is a valuable piece of internet history, having been registered in 1996. Last year, HubSpot co-founder Dharmesh Shah purchased the domain for a reported $15.5 million, making it one of the most expensive domain sales ever publicly disclosed.
Shah later sold Chat.com to an unnamed buyer in March and revealed about it in a post on LinkedIn. His post came soon after Altman made the announcement on X.

BREAKING NEWS: Secret acquirer of $15+ million domain chat .com revealed and it's exactly who you'd think.
For those of you that have been following me for a while, you may recall that I announced earlier this year that I had acquired the domain chat .com for an "8 figure sum" (which was later reported as being $15.5M).
I also shared that I had sold the domain to an undisclosed buyer.
I was not at liberty to share who the acquirer was (I was going to leave that to them, when they were ready).
Well, in an 8 character tweet (talk about brevity), Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI revealed that they were the buyer. If you visit the website now, it goes to ChatGPT.
I know many are curious about the sale price price. So, here's a prompt that GPT o1 does a really good job of reasoning through.

ROLE: You are a smart, curious person on the Internet.
CONTEXT: You have been given the following facts:
* Dharmesh buys chat .com for $15.5M

* OpenAI was the perfect home for this domain, do he decided to sell it.
* He's known Sam for over a decade since before OpenAI
* Dharmesh doesn't like profiting off of people he considers friends (and also doesn't like referring to himself in the third person)
* He has repeatedly declared his love for OpenAI: The platform, the developer experience and the company.
* He's always wanted to own OpenAI shares.
* He made a non-humble brag earlier this year that he's now an investor in OpenAI.
