Runner AI Launches The First Self-Optimizing Ecommerce Engine

Runner AI today unveiled the industry's first AI-native ecommerce engine designed to autonomously test, learn, and optimize conversion rates without human intervention. While a new wave of ⁘vibe coding⁘ tools has simplified website creation, Runner AI goes a step further: it combines conversational storefront generation with a self-optimizing backend that continuously experiments to maximize sales.

For decades, the barrier to building a competitive online store has been prohibitively high. Merchants are often forced to hire expensive agencies for design and development, or struggle through complex DIY builders that require significant technical upkeep. Even after a store is launched, the challenge intensifies: true Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) remains a luxury reserved for enterprise brands with large data science teams.

For most merchants, running A/B tests to improve sales is a costly, manual process involving expensive third-party software and complex statistical analysis. As a result, storefronts often remain static, relying on intuition rather than real-time data, and leaving significant revenue on the table. ⁘Ecommerce merchants shouldn't need to be technical architects or pay ⁘app taxes' just to run a competitive store,⁘ said Weizhi Li, Founder and CEO of Runner AI . ⁘We didn't just add AI features to a legacy builder.

We built an AI-native engine where the store itself creates hypotheses, runs A/B tests, and improves its own conversion rates without human intervention.⁘ Autonomous Conversion Optimization: The engine constantly analyzes every click and scroll, automatically initiating tests on content, layouts, and checkout flows.

Operating 24/7 to improve conversion rates, it goes beyond simple A/B testing by dynamically customizing the user journey based on the visitor's specific campaign, traffic source, or profile. From Prompts to Full-Stack Store: Users can launch a conversion-ready storefront and backend just by chatting with AI. Runner AI translates natural language prompts into a complete technical operation—handling design, checkout logic, and inventory systems—allowing anyone to launch a sophisticated business without writing a single line of code.
