.bot
The .bot domain extension is designed specifically for bots, which can include chatbots, service bots, or AI bots. Introduced by Amazon in 2018, it is mainly used by developers and businesses who want to showcase, promote, or enable discovery of their bot-related applications or services. The registration of a .bot domain requires proof that the bot exists, and it must pass Amazon’s verification process. This feature distinguishes .bot from other generic domains, designed to maintain quality and reliability.
