What it is

Duck.ai is DuckDuckGo's AI chat. It gives free access to chat models from several AI companies without an account, and DuckDuckGo passes each request on itself so the model providers don't see the user's IP address. It started out at duckduckgo.com/chat as DuckDuckGo AI Chat.

The domain story

  • 1The public record doesn't name DuckDuckGo. The owner field shows a generic placeholder contact, so the record alone doesn't show who holds the name. DuckDuckGo runs its chat on it.
  • 2It changed hands before the product existed. The name moved to its current registrar in June 2021, about three years before DuckDuckGo launched its AI chat. It's been on record since December 2017 or earlier.
  • 3A shorter renewal than most. It's paid up until December 2027, about a year ahead, and has only a transfer lock.
