The AI Commerce Gallery - Hackathon

AI Commerce Gallery — Zooclaw × AI Valley

What does the next generation of AI-powered commerce look like?

On September 12, Zooclaw and AI Valley are bringing together builders, founders, engineers, designers, and commerce leaders in San Francisco for AI Commerce Gallery — a curated one-day hackathon and interactive showcase for products pushing commerce forward.

Teams will build AI-powered products across:

• E-commerce & storefront experiences
• Merchant operations, inventory, fulfillment & payments
• Restaurants, retail, POS & physical commerce
• AI agents, MCP integrations & workflow automation

But this isn’t a traditional hackathon.

Instead of spending the evening watching dozens of back-to-back pitches, every team will transform their project into an exhibit for the AI Commerce Gallery Walk.

Attendees, judges, partners, and investors will move through the gallery, interact with live demos, meet the builders, and experience what the future of commerce could actually feel like.

Throughout the day, builders will have access to AI tools, APIs, integrations, technical workshops, mentors, and partner resources to help turn ideas into working products.

The strongest projects will be selected as Featured Exhibits and invited to demo on the main stage before the Gallery Awards.

🏆 Awards include
