The .ai premium
The extension can add strong category fit to concise AI, software and infrastructure terms. But extension-specific demand can move faster than .com demand, so current comparables and recency matter more.
Use extension-specific evidence
Do not treat every word plus .ai as premium. The underlying term still needs naming power, commercial relevance or clear product fit.
Run the domain through the same framework
Extension quality is one factor among naming power, clarity, commercial intent, scarcity, build potential, liquidity and buyer depth.
