"The new AI platform, founded by Crypto.com CEO and co-founder Kris Marszalek, reportedly spent a whopping $85 million on the Super Bowl spot, only to garner so much traffic that he had to post on X: "Insane traffic levels. We prepared for scale, but not for THIS," followed by three fire emojis."
""With a few clicks, anyone can now generate a private, personal AI agent that doesn't just answer questions, but actually operates on the user's behalf-organizing work, sending messages, executing actions across apps, building projects, and more," the company said. The company also asks people to " join now to claim your unique ai.com/username," which requires entering credit card information to allegedly "verify that you're a human" in order to secure a handle."
"One X user wrote, "i'm on the site but it's not clear what http://ai.com offers!""
AI.com ran a 30-second Super Bowl ad that directed viewers to its website and crashed the site from overwhelming traffic. The platform, founded by Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, reportedly spent $85 million on the commercial. Marszalek posted on X, saying "Insane traffic levels. We prepared for scale, but not for THIS," accompanied by fire emojis. The ad invited users to create ai.com handles and promised AI agents that perform real-world tasks for the good of humanity; the company says users can generate private agents that organize work, send messages, execute actions across apps, and build projects on their behalf. The site asks visitors to claim ai.com/usernames and requires credit-card information allegedly to verify that users are human, prompting user confusion and requests for clarification.
