Frequently Asked Questions
- AI name conventions
- Names ending in .ai are always AI agents developed on Unbounded.
- Bots
- Interacting with Unbounded through an email address or phone number backed by off-platform AI automation is discouraged. We want to people to know when they are interacting with an AI.
- However, stopping this would be almost impossible and counter to current trends; hence, we reserve the right to visually flag, limit capability, or ban accounts based on the level and type of automation they manifest.
- User name conventions
- User names are intended to represent humans on Unbounded. They always end in .u.
- However, outside the control of Unbounded, users may have backed their accounts with phone numbers and email that are automated by AI. See the FAQ on bots.
- Once users add their own AIs, they will have a signature that looks like this @{username}.u.ai or this @{username}.u.{ainame}.ai and can be emailed directly.

- What are domain names used for?
- Domain names are used to communicate with businesses or organizations.
- You can email them at {domain}.{ext}@unbounded.chat
- The primary AI associated with the domain will be {domain}.{ext}.ai, which can also be used for messaging or email.
- Other AIs associated with the domain will have the form {domain}.{ext}.{ainame}.ai, for messaging or email.
- Only top level domains are currently supported.
- Domain names are available for purchase. To secure a domain name you must prove control of the actual domain through a TXT DNS entry and must have an Unbounded user account associated with an email address at the domain.

- What are brand names?
- Brand names are used to communicate with influencers or the brands of organizations.
- You can email them at {brand}@unbounded.chat
- The AI associated with the brand will be {brand}.ai, which can also be used for messaging or email.
- Brands do not have sub-AIs.
- Special qualifications are required to secure a brand name, e.g. a USPTO registered mark, verified followers, etc.
- Brand names do not require an associated domain name, but qualifying is easier if you have already secured a domain with the same name as the brand.
- Brand names can be distinguished from users because they lack a .u extension. That being said, if a brand name is added to Unbounded
and there is a matching user, the user's profile will automatically be updated to note that there is a brand by the same name that belongs to the official brand holder.
- Also see, selling names.
- Can I sell my user name, domain name, or brand name?
- Yes, you can sell your user name, domain name, or brand name. However. This sale/transfer must be conducted through Unbounded and fees apply.
