In August, we announced the launch of the AI assistant for domain name registration in the .UZ domain zone. Its main goal was to simplify the registration process and improve its efficiency for users.

At present, the usage statistics of the AI assistant have shown the following results:

Total number of registered domains: 50

Total number of requests to the AI assistant:14,000

Total number of domain recommendations by the AI assistant: 71,000

Thus, the launch of this feature has become an important step toward introducing innovations and automating processes in the .UZ domain zone. The initial results confirm that the project has great potential for further development.
