Tidepost
Because AI without a method is just fast guesswork,
not naming.
Naming has two hard parts. Coming up with good names is hard — and a raw prompt gives you generic, derivative, trend-chasing slop. Finding ones with an available domain is harder — most .coms are gone, and ChatGPT has no idea what's taken across any TLD. We fix both by layering a real creative method and live domain data on top of the same AI.
The names are bad.
Ask ChatGPT for 20 names and you get Namifyr, BrandPilot, ClearlyAI, NameForge — the same suffix slop, the same compound mash-ups, the same trend-chasing prefixes. No taste. No method. No surprise. The AI is capable of brilliance; it just needs the right brief.
