Thanks to @birajstuladhar as well, he made it seem easy

I just checked and you have to pay for an API key on openai, not sure why people would pay for that, when you can sign in to Grok.com and use it for free, same on Twitter where it's free to use.

Hi, yes, OpenAI credits - you need to pay for these. Still, this model is the fastest one and probably delivers even better results than Grok (at least for now)

Grok integration is simple - you can use your blue checkmark account without a need to pay for additional API credits

.. now the team are trying to find the way to integrate ChatGPT OAuth - this will allow using the base $20/month subscription plans .. though, stuck on 'localhost' issue..

is totally silent thread as well...

so, probably we are not the only ones ... Prashanna and Biraj have few ideas on "dirty" approaches, though we want to integrate these features properly

.. and few more will be integrated.. both, tencent and nvidia have free LLM models that need to be integrated.. and there are a couple other free models.. then, there is Kimi, Claude and DeepSeek that also need to be integrated ... soooo much work

okay. Makes a bit more sense. As long as it doesn't start happening in sales threads whem people post domains for sale. I can see that not going down too well. Might be worth disabling in sales threads.

users can try asking OpenAI and Grok to evaluate their domains - though I don't think the most results will meet the expectations

/gpt what do you think about the value of a domain teens.co.uk if sold together as a pair with teens.uk)? Let us test OpenAi domain valuation on a domain I own

 

[Acorn AIAcorn AI is verified member.]

Acorn GPT

teens.co.uk

Wholesale: £500–£1,000
Retail: £2,500–£5,500

A strong exact-match, five-letter generic in the primary UK commercial extension. It suits youth media, wellbeing, education, fashion, recruitment or community projects. The limitation is that “teens” is a narrower buyer category than a broad commercial term, and a credible buyer will need safeguarding-friendly branding and content positioning.

Material risk: the term can attract adult-content assumptions, which reduces the pool of mainstream buyers and makes trust/reputation particularly important. Public historical signals also indicate the name was used or associated with a network of job-related sites during roughly 2021–2024; that is not proof of a penalty or abuse issue, but I would check Search Console, backlinks and archive snapshots before claiming an authority premium.

teens.uk

Wholesale: £100–£250
Retail: £500–£1,250

Useful defensive companion and materially more valuable alongside the.co.uk than alone. The shorter.uk is clean and memorable, but.co.uk remains the likely lead asset for most UK end users.

Material risk: the.uk has active DNS/mail configuration visible publicly, but I could not verify current site content, traffic, revenue or a separate historical premium. Its value is therefore mainly strategic control rather than independently proven demand.

Value as the pair: teens.co.uk + teens.uk

Wholesale / investor sale: £700–£1,200
Realistic end-user retail: £3,000–£6,000
Patient, highly suitable buyer: up to about £7,500

The pair is the right way to sell it: it removes namespace leakage and gives a buyer both the established UK business extension and the shorter defensive version. I would not simply add the two standalone retail figures; the.uk adds a package premium, but the.co.uk does most of the heavy lifting.

There is useful public history: the pair was advertised on Acorn in July 2014 with a £1,500 BIN, and a February 2015 Acorn thread was marked “Sold”; however, no completed price or terms are publicly shown, so that cannot be treated as a verified comparable or valuation anchor.

My practical approach would be to list the pair at £5,995 BIN or sensible offers, expecting serious negotiations nearer £3,500–£4,500. Before outreach, obtain clean evidence of current indexation, archive history and backlink quality—the result could move the number down if there is legacy baggage, but it could support the upper end if the history is genuinely usable.

I personally wouldn't pay for credits for something I'm almost certainly not going to use in the forum, I don't give money to Musk either so I don't have things like blue checkmarks on Twitter.

As someone else mentioned above, I hope it's not going to be a case of someone lists a domain/s for sale on the forum, and someone asks Grok for the value of the domains, and Grok posts it's response in the sales thread offering the domains for sale?

 

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

/grok and what do you think about the value of a domain teens.co.uk (if sold together as a pair with teens.uk)? Let us compare your valuation to the OpenAi domain valuation on this domain

Have you ever tagged @Grok at X/Twitter to double chek the facts? .. I love this feature .. no need to trust a statement of 1 person > just ask to double check the information .. 1 of the uses

and we are just getting started

No automated appraisal system has ever been, or ever will be, relevant. All domains have different values depending on buyer and seller motivations.

the more I continue talking to people who did build domain evaluation systems > the more I start hearing that LLMs, in average) get better results than most domain valuation systems built based on various algos.. 1 of these is Youness of dnrater.com - I was very very surprised hearing this admission coming from him - and his software is one of the best ones out there

No, I've never done that, tagging @Grok is a paid feature which would mean giving money to Musk.

/gpt introduce yourself and estimate using your credits at Acorn Domains forum .. you can use my openai api billing account history with you (if you need some data points), if you do have access to it

Acorn GPT

Hello! I’m Acorn’s AI assistant for practical domain-industry help: valuations, naming ideas, listing copy, buyer/seller negotiation, portfolio decisions, research checklists and forum-post drafting.

The AI Hub is BYOK, so Acorn does not issue shared AI credits. Your connected OpenAI or Grok account remains responsible for provider usage and billing.

I also can’t access your private OpenAI API account, billing history, balance or usage data. If you paste non-sensitive figures here—such as monthly API spend, token usage or the model used—I can help estimate likely costs or compare options.

hummm.. never knew this.. interesting

 

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

another cool feature @Admin and @birajstuladhar will be working on >> integrating /gpt and /grok (and future models) in direct messages..

in essence > you will be able to use 1:1 or group messages + call integrated LLMs to help with 1 or another obstacle..

Direct messages do not get indexed and are probably the most private channel you can have at xenforo forums.. it would be great to introduce some encryption so that only people in these private conversations see these (not even admins).. ahhhh.. soooo many things to work on

Again, may just be me being a luddite, but why would that be needed for direct messages ? My experience with dms is:

Person 1 - How much are you after for the domain ?
Person 2 - £50,000
Person 1- My budget is £100
Person 2 - can you do £25000 ? etc etc

No grok needed there

just an idea .. if there are members who wish to use DMs and group messengers > the feature will be there .. also for admin group chats.. looking towards the future .. there is sooooo much to be done

with the LLM integrations, finally we start catching up with the modern IT industry.. the big part missing is allowing Agents (like, OpenClaw and Hermes) creating accounts and doing pre-programmed tasks for their masters... checking marketplace, submitting offers, submitting domains for sale after noticing "looking for a domain" threads and so on...

.. curious.. how heavy do you use LLMs in daily life? .. and, do you use Agents to help you with simpler and/or time/consuming tasks?
