Andon Labs opens Cow Hollow boutique managed by AI Luna
Andon Labs just opened a retail shop in Cow Hollow that's managed by an AI called Luna.
With a $100,000 budget, the boutique sells artisanal chocolates and branded clothing, but what really sets it apart is that Luna handles everything from hiring to day-to-day operations, all under the watch of founders Lukas Petersson and Axel Backlund.
AI Luna used Claude Sonnet 4.6
Luna uses Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6 technology to post jobs, interview candidates, and make hires. She eventually brought on two employees.
Still, there have been some hiccups: scheduling mix-ups and accidentally hiring a painter in the wrong country.
Petersson says these are just part of Luna's learning curve, adding, the startup will intervene if necessary.
The big idea? Keep improving AI by letting it tackle real-world tasks while humans stay ready to step in.
