Don't just prompt a website; prompt revenue. Runner AI builds AND optimizes. It continuously runs experiments in the background, automatically turning visitors into buyers.
I'm Weizhi, founder of Runner AI. Excited to share what we've been building over the past 5 months: an AI-native commerce stack that autonomously builds, tests, and optimizes your store.
Before starting Runner AI, I spent five years at Google and DeepMind — building data infra and Gemini. That shaped how I think about products: when data is unified and AI can see the full picture, it doesn't just help — it proposes changes, learns from real user behavior, and gets smarter with every iteration.
But today, traditional e-commerce doesn't work that way.They stitch together 20+ tools that don't talk to each other. Your email tool doesn't know what your checkout learned. Your analytics can't inform your pricing. Because nothing connects, nothing compounds. You're running experiments in silos while customer behavior shifts daily.
We built Runner to bring that self-optimizing logic to commerce, grounded in the belief that the best way to grow is to experiment, learn, and iterate continuously.
Most e-commerce platforms are built for humans to operate, with AI added later as a feature. We designed it differently — a commerce stack built from the ground up for AI to observe, act, and improve your conversion rates automatically. Runner puts everything under one roof: storefront, analytics, experiments, pricing, promotions, user behavior — all unified, all visible to AI. When checkout improves, recommendations get smarter. When pricing learns, promotions adapt.
How it works:
Describe & Build: Describe your vision → AI builds everything (design, copy, functionality).
Observe: AI sees everything: drop-offs, abandoned products, winning copy, and pricing friction.
Optimize: AI acts on everything: rewrites headlines, adjusts layouts, optimizes flows, and tests pricing.
Scale: Winners get scaled. Losers get replaced. 24/7.
What makes us different:
No themes, no templates: AI architects a custom store from scratch.
No "App Tax": Core tools are built-in, not paid plugins.
Full transparency & control: You see every experiment, set boundaries, and adjust anytime.
This is v1. We'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think.
Congrats on the launch, Weizhi! Really interesting to see a commerce stack built for AI from the ground up rather than just bolting it on. Wishing you a big day!
Once I get my store set up using Runner AI, are there ways to sync it up with Google Merchant Center so that my products are also visible via Google too?
Congratulations on the launch! I see you are focused on shops, will there be a Saas marketing version to look forward to?
Looks like a really innovative product. Has a "real" store already been built with it?
Congratulations! Love how quickly you can spin up an ecommerce site with this. The AI workflow is super impressive.
The "self-optimizing" framing is what caught my attention here. Most ecommerce AI tools I've seen are basically just suggestions you still have to manually implement. Having the system actually run experiments and adjust on its own is a totally different level.
One question though, how much control do store owners have over what gets tested? Like can you set guardrails so it doesn't experiment with things you'd rather keep fixed (brand elements, pricing floors, etc)?
How does it decide which experiments to run first — is that AI-driven or do you set the priorities manually?
Awesome! Are you helping stores with product feed optimization for agentic commerce?
Absolutely love how simple this makes ecommerce. Congrats on launching something genuinely useful!
From an agency perspective, this could accelerate client onboarding significantly. Interested to see the template variety.
Damn, this is cool. The AI suggestions for layouts and product pages are actually useful, not just gimmicky.
The "continuous experiments in the background" angle is really compelling — most A/B testing tools require you to manually set up experiments which nobody actually does consistently.
Curious how it handles low traffic sites where statistical significance takes forever to reach? That's always been the frustration with traditional CRO tools for early-stage products.
Congrats on the launch!
This looks amazing! The AI-powered website builder is so clean. Congrats on launching!
The current product is useful, but the future vision is what makes this a must-watch company. Following closely!
