AI Merch & Commerce Platform

The challenge.

Launching merch means assembling a maze of vendors — sourcing, sampling, QC, customs, storefront plugins, pick and pack, sales-tax filings — each a separate relationship with its own delay. The ops stack, not the idea, is what stops most brands shipping.

What I did.

1. 1

   Built AI agents that contact global manufacturers on a brief and come back with real quotes, replacing the weeks of sourcing email that normally start the process.

2. 2

   Moved QC local: samples and batches are checked without international shipping round-trips, which is where most of the timeline actually goes.

3. 3

   Bundled pick and pack with sales-tax support in the markets the brand sells into, so compliance is not a separate project.

4. 4

   Added a storefront layer with product gating, real-time price calibration and perks — and interactive drop mechanics — so the same platform handles the selling, not just the making.

What was built.

• AI supplier sourcing and automated quoting
• Fast local sample and batch QC
• Global pick & pack with sales-tax support
• Converting storefront with gating and real-time pricing
• Interactive drops and collectible mechanics
• Community and whitelist onboarding
