Story of the week.
Andon Market and the agent named Luna back to Luna.
The company behind her is Andon Labs, a research outfit that builds and measures autonomous agents, the same team behind an earlier experiment with a vending machine run by AI.
This time they raised the stakes, not a machine, a real store with a lease, employees and utility bills.
They gave Luna what you would give a manager, a budget, a company card, an email account, a phone, internet access and eyes on the security cameras.
Then they stepped back.
This is not just a viral video.
The story was covered by the New York Times in August and by San Francisco local press in September.
So it is still a live case, not a spring novelty.
And here is where it gets interesting.
