0:00 Allow me just a tiny, little diversion here. We're talking about how we came up with the name "Fitnessd", without the "E".
0:07 I find naming products and naming companies super hard. For this one I thought, Okay I want to have something that sounds cool
0:15 but I'm not going to infringe on anyone's copyright or use a name that's already used somewhere else or something like that.
0:22 So I ran across this place called Namelix, and if you're working on a product you might find it interesting as well. So I'm just interested in fitness.
0:29 Let's even say health, something like that. I'm trying to maybe get a little off to the side. And you say, "I want a medium length names, short names."
0:35 And then I can have brandable names like Google or Turo so that they're easily to create brands and copyrights and so on.
0:44 So if we go and say that, we can ask this AI to generate not just names but logos and colors and all sorts of stuff around here.
0:53 It can have, in health, let's see.. Nutrick, Lenity, Bealth. I don't know about that, it's a little bit funky, right?
1:03 This is basically how I came up with Fitnessd, right. I can come over here and there's Nurturing, let's see,
1:09 Ensurity. If you open these up it'll actually let you pick different designs and it will create little logos for you.
1:17 So, like this one you could even purchase graphics around. It's kind of ridiculous, I have no affiliation with this.
1:23 Open it up, it'll even do things like show you T-shirts or business cards, how it would look. So, this is how we came up with Fitnessd
1:31 I just put "fitness" in here and went through a bunch of options and thought "Fitnessd without the 'E' would be kind of cool."
1:37 If you're trying to name a product, I have no affiliation with these guys, I just thought this was cool and it kind of gives you some perspective.
1:43 Here's how we came up with the name.
