Runner AI is an ecommerce platform that builds an online store from a short description and then assigns AI agents to help run it. The company's framing is a business that runs itself: you describe an idea, Runner creates the store, and specialists for ads, email, conversion, SEO and analytics keep working on it.
The platform is aimed at people who want to sell online without managing a stack of separate tools or paying an agency. The company argues that typical ecommerce setups use 20 or more tools that do not share what they learn, so Runner keeps storefront, pricing, checkout, email, ads and SEO in a single system.
Runner AI says it raised a $7M seed round led by Sky9 Capital and Cathay Innovation. The founder and CEO, Weizhi Li, says he previously worked at Google and DeepMind on data infrastructure and Gemini.
Setup begins with a sentence describing the business. Runner reads it, researches the market and builds the store, including products, brand identity, copy, payments and a custom domain. You can also start from a template or have Runner rebuild an existing site as your own.
Once the store is live, the AI team works in the background. Fly, the main assistant, reads store data, finds what could sell more, and prepares the next action. It acts when the owner approves, then learns from the results and keeps what works.
The dashboard shows agent activity in feeds, to-dos that need review, and past work. Examples include launching new UGC ad variants, pausing low-performing ads, rewriting product pages and running winback email flows. Work is metered through credits.
The core is an AI website builder that produces a full storefront and lets you click any part of the store and tell Runner what to change. A Creative Studio generates product images, video and ad creative, and an analytics module reports orders, revenue and traffic.
Growth tools include an ads agent, email flows such as abandoned-cart recovery and winback, SEO and GEO tracking across search and AI tools, and an experiment module for A/B and multivariate tests. Higher plans add shopper simulations that show how customers might react before you publish.
For specific business types, the print-on-demand tool shows Printful's base price, shipping and your profit in each market, with suggested prices and a warning when a price falls below cost. Dropshipping tools find products and add them in one click.
Runner AI is an AI platform that builds an online store from a one-sentence description and then runs growth work with AI agents. Those agents cover ads, email, conversion testing, SEO and analytics. Owners review and approve the actions.
