"Kris Marszalek, CEO and co-founder of crypto and stock trading platform Crypto.com, has bought an expensive website. In this case it's AI.com, valued at one point at $100 million, which will serve as the online home for his new company of the same name. The website launch is being paired with a Super Bowl ad that will air this Sunday."
"Users can make multiple agents with AI.com and have them do a variety of tasks - the company's press release mentions trading stocks and updating a dating profile, for example - while remaining permission-based and private. It's not clear if AI.com is offering its own AI models or licensing those offered by other companies, but clearly whatever it offers, both for free and via a planned paid subscription, will be flexible."
"Like Crypto.com's big push into the mainstream during late 2021 and early 2022, AI.com is arriving at a particularly hype-filled time in the AI industry. Anthropic's Claude Code and Claude Cowork tools have been taken up as evidence that AI might actually make people more productive, so AI.com's decision to push an agent of its own is timely."
Kris Marszalek purchased AI.com to serve as the online home for a new company offering AI agents that act on users' behalf. The agents can organize work, send messages, execute actions across apps, build projects, and handle tasks like trading stocks or updating a dating profile. Users can create multiple permission-based, private agents. The launch includes a Super Bowl advertisement. It remains unclear whether AI.com will use proprietary models or license others' models. The service will include free access and a planned paid subscription.
