Ask.ai is asking one to two million with an exact .AI hit, in my opinion the asking price is too low.
Whoever owns ask.ca might want to consider developing it now because it throws the error above.
This is one of the rare occasions where I think ask.ai is more valuable than ask.com

ask ai works like a domain hack: Ask Ai
Company that buys the .com needs to get the .ai as well.

Two things I do not understand.
What stops ask.com from being an AI tool.
What stopped ask.com team from innovating in time and pivoting into AI business.
I voted for .com because inherently a .com is more valuable. I don't know where AI is going to be in 10 years, but I do know .com is still going to be around for everything else.
.ca is way out its league by comparison, so I didn't even consider it as a valid choice.

The difference is optionality. Ask.com can still be search, AI, Q&A, education, support, consumer tools, or even a broader knowledge brand. Ask.ai is very strong, but it is also much more tied to one current market narrative.
If I were to build an AI product today, I’d want both. But if I could only own one asset, I’d choose Ask.com and then try hard to secure Ask.ai defensively.
