Luna AI Signed a Lease and Opened a Store in San Francisco

Andon Labs gave an AI agent called Luna a $100,000 budget, a corporate card, and full autonomy to open and operate a physical retail store in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Luna signed a three-year lease, negotiated with suppliers, curated inventory including copies of Brave New World and artisanal chocolates, and manages the store's social media presence. This is the first publicly documented case of an AI agent making binding legal and financial commitments to run a real business. The episode explores what this experiment actually demonstrates, the unresolved liability questions it surfaces, and what it would take for this to become a category rather than a curiosity.
