⚠️AI becomes the boss: Inside the store run entirely by an algorithm
A startup called Andon Labs just handed an AI full control of a physical retail store in San Francisco and told it to make money. The result: a real-world experiment where an AI named Luna is not just assisting… it’s managing everything.
The Experiment: An AI Runs a Store
• The store, Andon Market, operates under decisions made entirely by the AI
• Luna controls: Hiring and firing. Inventory and pricing. Store design (even wall paint). Branding and positioning (“high-tech meets slow life”)
• It started with $100K in capital
