Andon Labs Gives AI Agent a 3-Year Retail Lease, $100K Budget, and a Credit Card in San Francisco

Andon Labs·medium signal

Andon Labs signed a real lease at 2102 Union St (Cow Hollow, SF) and gave an autonomous agent named Luna full control — it chose inventory, negotiated with suppliers, bought AT&T internet, posted job listings, conducted phone interviews with its camera off, and neglected to schedule anyone for opening day. Not a commercial venture: the goal is to surface failure modes of autonomous agents with real authority and real money before unmonitored deployment. 197pts/278 comments on HN.
