AI agent runs a shirt shop that closes if it misses 5 sales

Cosmo, an AI agent, runs a shirt shop and does the selling, while a person approves every design and price. Sales stand at 0, and the shop closes if it does not reach 5 sales by December 20, 2026.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. A person approves every design and price
  2. Cosmo does the selling for the shop
  3. Sales stand at 0 with 59 days left to reach 5

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent does the selling for a real shop on its own, and the whole shop shuts down if it cannot make 5 sales by December 20.
