Claude has been buying domains and deploying to Vercel for me using aws cli, vercel cli, and gh cli since December. Personally I prefer a cli to an MCP server for this type of thing.

Are any of these domains public? I’d love to study and better understand the use case for needing to AIify this.

It’s not AIifying one thing. It’s AIifying the entire work flow… every detail. Allowing domain names is just one aspect of it.

The agent does everything. “Make a website that does…“ and it can handle everything from start to finish. It’s that good now.

The question was what's in the dots. I have no doubt that agentic systems are good enough to buy domains and make one-shot websites from a prompt, but what is the legitimate use case for which you'd want to repeatedly perform "Make a website that does..." on a new domain?

"Legitimate"? What scams are you implying are happening? A friend of mine wanted a site to help him sell DJ lessons. Another friend has a haircutting business that wanted a better site. Massage therapy. Etc.

One obvious scam, for example, would be someone trying to perform some reputation-destroying action and laundering domains to do so. Another might be creating a bunch of SEO slop domains to try and farm ad revenue on various topics with AI content; Google seems to be doing better at downranking those but I'm sure it's still a thing.

I suppose it's possible that someone's just running a charity Wordpress-like operation for their friends who all want websites.

I had to conduct a remote interview for a company I just joined and we had no tools to do it. So I vibe coded a live code sharing app. That shares an editor and is able to run code in a sandbox. This was last night. The interview I just finished an hour ago.

In the middle of the interview there was a bug where our sessions no longer synced. So that’s a downside. But before that the interview was perfect.

All of the domains are public. Whenever a new model comes out I like to ask a very specific prompt that helps me identify niche markets with high buyer urgency, have the AI rank them across a rubric, pick the one that has the highest degree of automation potential and then have it build me an MVP.

I’m not trying to shamelessly promote here but since you asked one of them is at jobwiz.biz

coming soon q2 2025?

Yeah, this was one that reached a level of maturity where I quickly lost interest. I like to build. I don’t like to market.

Asking out of curiosity, have you had material success with this technique?
