Build in public

Product updates

We build AIvikings in the open. Every month we share what shipped, what we learned, and what is next. Follow along.

July 2026

The production foundation is in place

July was the month AIvikings moved from working prototype into production foundation. Real registrations are now possible, accounts and billing are in place, builders can get API keys themselves, and the public site now exposes a much broader TLD and pricing layer for agents and humans to inspect.

What shipped

  • Live production registration, including real domains registered with standard AIvikings nameservers.
  • Self-serve API keys, billing, accounts, and a full self-service customer dashboard.
  • Expanded TLD coverage with a public price list and separate detail pages for every TLD we offer.
  • Public API reference and SDK groundwork for builders integrating REST and MCP flows.
  • Rate limiting and abuse protection for safer public access.
  • A comprehensive ambassador program with dedicated site and legal pages.

What is next

  • Move AIvikings into a fully live state in August.
  • Polish onboarding, billing flows, API-key setup, and dashboard workflows before broader access.
  • Keep expanding examples, SDK coverage, and operational hardening around real registrations.
June 2026

The first AIvikings build is live

The first AIvikings build worked in a controlled early-access environment. An AI agent could run the check, register, nameserver, and confirm flow through us by API, by MCP, or straight from ChatGPT. We also shipped the first public site and opened the waiting list.

What shipped

  • Agent-native registrar service running and reachable over HTTPS in a controlled early-access environment.
  • REST API for checking availability, running registration flows, renewals, and nameserver management, with API-key auth.
  • MCP server exposing the same operations as native tools for MCP agents.
  • ChatGPT connector, so you can run the registration flow by asking in chat.
  • An autonomous demo agent that takes a plain-English goal and runs the full flow with no human in the loop.
  • This site, and the early-access waiting list.

What is next

  • Closing the loop on full production registration.
  • Self-serve API keys so you do not have to wait.
