Runner AI unveils the first autonomous ecommerce engine that builds, runs, and optimizes online stores without human intervention, created by former Google DeepMind engineers.

The service offers a seven-day free trial at runnerai.com and is headquartered in San Francisco.

Instead of static AI tools, the platform features an AI-native infrastructure that observes, acts, and optimizes to automatically improve conversion rates.

It aims to replace a patchwork of third-party tools with a single unified suite that captures and leverages customer interactions across the entire merchant journey for compounded improvements.

The company argues the ecommerce ecosystem is fragmented and inefficient, and presents its AI-native, integrated solution as the fix.

Core capabilities include Prompt-to-Publish Store Creation, Always-On Autonomous Optimization, and an App-Free Infrastructure that bundles SEO, geolocation targeting, and upsell/cross-sell without separate subscriptions.

Prompt-to-Publish enables instant storefronts from merchant descriptions with branding, photos, and SEO copy in under five minutes.

Always-On Autonomous Optimization continuously monitors behavior, runs multivariate tests, and automatically applies winning variations to maximize revenue.

All features run on a unified data layer to enable cross-functional optimization and reduce dependence on third-party apps.

Generative AI produces studio-quality product images, marketing visuals, and descriptions, delivering brand-consistent content from day one and a self-improving loop through real customer behavior.

The platform emphasizes continuous optimization, identifying friction points and automatically executing tests to drive better performance.
