Domain management outcomes

What you can do

Your AI handles the technical requests for these four areas.

REGISTRATION

Claim new domains

Tell your agent which name you want. It uses the registration tool to secure the domain for you.

RENEWALS

Prevent expiration

Your AI can renew domains or toggle auto-renewal settings to keep your sites online.

TRANSFERS

Move domains

Request a transfer to move your domain to a different registrar through a simple command.

CONTACTS

Update info

Change registrant or contact details via chat. You'll need to handle identity verification yourself.
