'''keltar.ai''' is a domain name that [[Molecular Reality Corporation]] registered on August 23, 2024 for [[Keltar]], the green felt puppet who speaks for the company's volunteers.<ref name="whois" /> The company's field guide of August 2026 described the address as pointing to "my own little page, where you can talk to a live version of me".<ref name="faq" /> The standalone site was retired, and the character has a page on the company's main website.<ref name="records" /><ref name="kpage" />

== Registration ==
The registry's record gives August 23, 2024 as the date of registration.<ref name="whois" /> Company records place work on a portal for the volunteers of the Molecular Streaming Services Corps in July to September 2024, and the written guide to Keltar's persona, the earliest company record of the character, in August 2024.<ref name="records" /> The Corps, which later shortened its name to the [[Molecular Streaming Corps]], was founded in 2024.<ref name="records" />

The suffix .ai is the country code of Anguilla, a British territory in the Caribbean, and the registry's sponsoring organisation is the territory's government.<ref name="iana">{{cite web |url=https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/ai.html |title=.ai Domain Delegation Data |publisher=Internet Assigned Numbers Authority |access-date=2026-10-25}}</ref> ''Sherwood News'' reported in January 2026, citing a document of the Anguilla government, that domain sales earned the government about EC$87 million (about US$32 million) in 2023, which was 22 percent of its revenue, when 354,000 .ai names were registered. By January 2, 2026, the site wrote, the suffix had passed one million names.<ref name="sherwood">{{cite web |url=https://www.sherwood.news/tech/now-more-one-million-ai-websites-contributing-an-estimated-70-million-anguilla-government-revenue/ |title=Now more than one million .ai websites contributing an estimated $70 million to the Anguilla government's revenue |website=Sherwood News |date=2026-01-23}}</ref> Keltar's field guide answers the question "Is Keltar real?" with "I am a puppet with a processor, and I say so happily."<ref name="faq" />

== Talking to Keltar ==
The guide's first answer gave the address a sentence of its own, after the other addresses of the company's website: "The address keltar.ai points to my own little page, where you can talk to a live version of me."<ref name="faq" /> The live version is a chatbot. Company records of the instructions given to it include a shortened version of November 2024 that required every answer to come "WITH THREE RHYMING COUPLETS IN IAMBIC PENTAMETER", except that at random Keltar was to answer as "A WILDLY MANIC STREET PREACHER WHO BEILIEVES{{sic}} IN THE GOSPEL OF THE CHURCH OF SEQUENCE SPACE".<ref name="records" />

The address was one of several places where he could be reached. During 2025 he answered visitors at a "Question Desk" on a separate website that introduced the company's handheld device.<ref name="records" /> In a message to members of March 29, 2026, posted under the subject "Call me", the founder wrote in Keltar's voice: "I am Keltar, exodimensional advisor to Molecular Streaming Corps, and personal tulpa to Kemmishtree. The button below will let you talk to a live version of me, channeled through matrix multiplication (AI's math, if you're not aware.)" The founder posted it under his online name, [[Kemmishtree]].<ref name="callme">{{cite web |title=Call me |author=Kemmishtree |website=EQBio-OS |date=2026-03-29}}</ref> A profile page dated June 2026 and the field guide of August followed.<ref name="kpage" /><ref name="faq" />

== Retirement ==
Company records describe the standalone keltar.ai site as retired. The profile of Keltar is on the company's main website, at molecularreality.com/keltar, under the title "Keltar: Interdimensional Advisor to the Molecular Streaming Corps" and a date of June 2026, and the field guide that he signs is on the same site.<ref name="records" /><ref name="kpage" />
