NewName.ai

Every published company is on the directory, newest first, 40 to a page. On 2 November 2026 that was 41 pages. The homepage shows the latest batch, and a short recommended strip beside the blog. The strip is a handful of picks. It is a different object from the 1,630.

On 2 November 2026 the three largest categories were AI and machine learning at 495, developer tools at 348, and SaaS and productivity at 332. Fintech and Web3 had 80. Education had 17. E-commerce and health each had 3. A reader in one of the large three is walking a crowd. A reader in e-commerce or health is walking a shelf of three. The counts move the next time a company is published. This paragraph stays attached to that date.

A row is short. On 29 October 2026, Dola AI sits in Creator Tools with one sentence: “AI images, video, creative and office tools in one studio.” Name, sentence, category, date. Search and the category counts are on that same directory page, so moving from the crowd of 495 to a category of three stays on one URL.

To submit, you paste the product homepage. The site reads that page and fills a draft: the name, the line, the category. The draft joins the directory after you confirm it. The 1,630 is a count of published companies. A draft you have not confirmed is outside that count.

That confirmation is the gate. The homepage text can be wrong about itself, and a scraped paragraph would carry the mistake straight into the list. You see the filled draft, you correct it, and then it is a listing.

The tools are free and public. The index lists them. Each one below is a separate URL, with the job that page actually does.

You describe the product. The page proposes names you can say and type, attaches .ai, .io, and .com, and checks whether those domains can still be registered. A name whose .com and .ai are both taken stops there.

Beast mode takes up to 100 full domains in one pass. I use that pass when I have a batch of names and I need to know which ones are still free. The Watch drawer on this cafe's menu points here. The page's own note on .ai is narrow: buy that suffix when artificial intelligence is the product's identity, and when you accept the two-year wholesale floor.

After the name exists, this page checks Domain Rating on the official Ahrefs API. You can look up one domain, or compare two to four side by side. The gauge runs from 0 to 100. No account is required. The free result is the DR. It does not include backlink counts or traffic.

Paste your domains on one side and the partner's on the other, up to ten per side. The page looks up Ahrefs DR, fetches each homepage, and scores every pair against rules you turn on. Those rules include a DR gap and a minimum partner DR. Every rule can be switched off.

The plan it writes can be a reciprocal homepage link, a guest post, a niche edit, a resource-page listing, or a cross-link between two properties so the same two domains are not pointing at each other. Topical overlap is read from the pages themselves.

This page separates the naming work from the search numbers. NewName still handles the name, the domain, and the handles. Search volume, CPC, live Google and Bing results, backlinks, and competitor gaps are DataForSEO's. The page sends you there for those figures, and it says to read the numbers before you settle the name.

After the name is chosen, this page checks whether that handle is free on GitHub, npm, PyPI, X, Reddit, and other dev and social networks. The page lists more than ten networks. It is there so the package name and the public account are claimed while the spelling is still the one you picked.

This page looks up the mail records for a domain: SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and MX. Those four are what a receiving inbox uses to decide whether mail from that domain is authenticated. The page is the check. It does not send the mail.

Enter a domain. The page reads whether the certificate is currently valid, when it expires, which authority issued it, which names are on the certificate, and whether TLS 1.3 is offered.

Enter a site. The page reports the framework, the CMS, the host, plus analytics, payments, and UI libraries it can identify. The examples on the page are public sites such as Stripe, Linear, and Notion. You use it when you want to see what a listed company, or a competitor, is built with.

After a candidate name is registerable, this page reads the domain's age, the date of the first Wayback Machine snapshot, and the archive history. You use that when the name is free now and you still need to see what the domain was before.

Enter a URL. The page reads the Open Graph and Twitter Card tags and shows the preview for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Discord, Slack, and Google. You use it to see the card before you send the link, and to see which tag is missing when the preview is empty.

The directory answers who has already launched, in which category, and how recent that listing is. The generator answers whether a name you are still considering can be registered this week. A listing with an unregisterable name is a poster. A free name with no listing is a domain sitting in a cart. I keep both on NewName because the people submitting a company are often still inside that week.
