Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Transitioning GoDaddy's AI-powered solutions from generative AI to an agentic framework on the Airo platform. This includes deploying specialized AI agents (such as the Co-Founder Agent, Conversations Inbox, and Domain Activation Agent) that handle end-to-end tasks for small businesses.
Expected impact: Simplifies online business creation, accelerates the velocity of second-product attachments by nearly 30%, and increases cumulative annual spend from Airo cohorts.
Leveraging GoDaddy's DNS leadership to establish an open standard for agent identity on the open Internet, allowing non-GoDaddy AI agents to be discovered and verified securely.
Expected impact: Establishes GoDaddy as a foundational infrastructure layer for the emerging Agentic Open Internet, creating a unique product differentiator.
Integrating AI tools deeply across internal operations, including software engineering (where a significant portion of new code is generated by AI) and customer care (via the AiroCare AI Support platform).
Expected impact: Improves customer support resolution rates by approximately 50% (and over 150% in non-English markets), reduces engineering workloads, and supports the expansion of Normalized EBITDA margins above 33%.
