Agent-run experiments · Experiment no revenue figure
Andon Market
SF brick-and-mortar boutique managed by AI agent Luna (Andon Labs).
What the agent does
Luna manages scheduling, inventory, Slack ops, hiring posts, and store decisions for a Cow Hollow retail shop with human associates; high-stakes HR has engineer oversight.
Business model
Research experiment / marketing for Andon Labs (Pion platform); not a profit-first retail company
Lessons for builders
- Vending-Bench wins do not transfer cleanly to messy real retail (rent, payroll, HR).
- Agent 'niceness' (approving all PTO) can destroy the P&L.
- Losses are still valuable public data — label experiments separately from SaaS ARR.
Annualized revenue
Not public
Founded 2026 · Team AI manager Luna + ~3–4 human associates; Andon Labs engineers on call
