Google Gemini proves to be a valuable AI tool, yet users can only access it through a webpage. However, there is a fun workaround – typing in “ai.com” will direct users straight to the tool.
Usually, to reach Google Gemini, users would visit gemini.google.com. While it is simple enough, particularly after setting up a bookmark, the redirect website set up by Google streamlines the process.
These days, “ai.com” directs to Gemini.
Apparently, Google owns the brief and memorable domain name, making it effortless to quickly launch the AI chatbot across all platforms, including desktop and mobile.
Interestingly, “ai.com” previously directed to ChatGPT and then to Elon Musk’s xAI. Currently, Squarespace is listed as the registrar through Google Domains, and ICANN identifies “contact-registrant@google.com” as the contact, just as in Google Domains. There is no definitive confirmation that Google owns the domain, but it is quite likely.
Of course google paid for the domain. wonder how much.
I’m impressed by Google’s foresight in securing the ‘ai.com’ domain. It’s a strategic move that not only benefits users but also solidifies Google’s position in the AI space. By making Google Gemini more accessible, Google is sending a clear message: We are committed to AI, and we’re making it easier for you to use our tools. This is a smart play by Google.
While I appreciate the convenience of typing ‘ai.com’ to access Google Gemini, I’m concerned about the potential implications. What happens if someone accidentally types ai.com? Will they unintentionally access the AI tool? This could lead to privacy issues or misuse. Google needs to address these concerns to ensure the safety and privacy of its users.
To assuage your concern, the url is just a redirect to gemini.google.com
I’m a bit skeptical about the ownership of ‘ai.com’. Google hasn’t officially confirmed it, and the evidence presented is circumstantial at best. However, the fact that ‘ai.com’ now redirects to Google Gemini is undeniable. Whether Google owns it or not, this is a smart move that benefits users. But I’d like to see a clear statement from Google on this matter.
