Genstore launches AI native e-commerce platform featuring autonomous agent teams

Genstore has announced the launch of a full stack e-commerce platform that uses autonomous AI to build and operate online stores for creators and small merchants.

The company says that it replaces fragmented tools and manual workflows with a virtual team that works behind the scenes. Founders describe their idea, and Genstore’s AI analyses product data, market signals, and design patterns to generate a complete, ready to sell storefront.

“Most e-commerce founders don’t fail because they lack ideas - they fail because they’re forced to operate alone,” says Junwei Huang, Co-founder and President at Genstore. “We automate the operational grind so founders can lead with vision. We’re delivering real autonomy today while building toward a fully self-running commerce future.”

RTIH AI in Retail Awards

Brarista, IBM Consulting, Foundit!, Quorso, Vusion, Sensei, Reckon.ai, EE, Walkbase, Globant, Riskified, and Goddiva were among the winners at the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, sponsored by VenHub Global, 3D Cloud, EdTech Innovation Hub, and Retail Technology Show.

Our 2026 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The Barbican in Central London on Thursday, 29th January, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “According to Amazon’s Andy Jassy: AI is a once in a lifetime reinvention of everything we know, and the largest technology transformation since the cloud.”

“Whether that’s overstating it or not, we're certainly seeing an increasing number of innovative, potentially game changing developments in this space across both traditional and digital retail spaces. And that is reflected in tonight's finalists, who are boosting customer experiences and tackling retailers' painpoints across the likes of physical stores, online, omnichannel, supply chain, and payments.”

“To quote one of our judges: I have to admit, judging these awards was so difficult. So many that would have been worthy winners. And great to see how AI has moved firmly into delivery mode. Firmly into delivering for customers and driving huge innovation.”

Congratulations to our 2026 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended our Thursday, 29th January gathering.

Stay tuned for an indepth review of the awards ceremony in the next edition of RTIH magazine.
