Dharmesh Shah, cofounder of HubSpot, mentioned on LinkedIn that paying an "8 figure sum" for chat.com was his most expensive domain name transaction ever, as he believes in the potential of chat-based software.
Shah described chat.com as "absolutely brilliant in terms of simplicity, shortness, and being totally *on point* and meeting the moment," emphasizing its strategic value in the tech landscape.
After selling the domain to OpenAI, Shah noted he might have taken OpenAI shares as payment, indicating a personal connection to Altman, with whom he has been friends for 10 years.
OpenAI’s acquisition of chat.com aligns with the growing trend towards chat-based platforms; Altman's tweet about the URL hints at significant advancements in AI technology.
