Shoplazza Launches AI Store Builder, Delivering Ready-to-Sell Storefronts Through a Single Agent

TORONTO, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shoplazza, a global commerce operating system for direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, announced the launch of AI Store Builder recently, a new AI Agent designed to simplify how merchants create, launch, and initiate operations for online stores.

The AI Store Builder introduces a conversational approach to storefront creation, enabling merchants to move from initial ideas to a ready-to-launch store in minutes. The product serves as a core entry point into Shoplazza’s broader AI-native commerce system.

The launch comes as global merchants face increasing operational complexity across localization, content production, and customer acquisition. Traditional store setup often requires multiple tools, specialized skills, and extended timelines, creating barriers for both new and scaling brands.

“Global commerce is becoming more execution-driven, and merchants need systems that reduce friction at the starting point,” said Jeff Li, Founder and CEO of Shoplazza. “AI Store Builder is designed to turn fragmented workflows into a unified process, helping merchants move from prompt to revenue with greater efficiency.”

With AI Store Builder, merchants can generate a complete storefront by describing their products, brand positioning, and target markets through natural language. The system automatically builds key components, including homepage layouts, product pages, collection structures, and policy content, reducing reliance on manual configuration and technical resources.

Beyond site generation, the product integrates capabilities that connect store creation directly to early-stage operations. Its multilingual semantic model adapts content to different markets based on local language patterns and consumer preferences, while an AI-powered visual engine generates commercial-ready product imagery without requiring traditional production workflows.

Once a storefront is live, merchants can activate AI-driven advertising workflows, with the platform automatically generating creatives and structuring campaigns to support initial traffic acquisition and order generation.

AI Store Builder is supported by Shoplazza’s underlying data and evaluation framework. The system leverages more than 650,000 storefront generation and optimization data points to improve intent recognition and output quality. It also incorporates an evaluation mechanism built on seven core commerce scenarios and over 500 real-world cases, continuously aligning generated storefronts with conversion-oriented structures.

The product is natively integrated into Shoplazza’s commerce infrastructure, enabling seamless connection to payments, fulfillment, and marketing systems. This allows merchants to operate within a consistent execution layer as they scale across regions.

The introduction of AI Store Builder marks the beginning of a broader rollout of AI agents across the platform. Shoplazza plans to extend agent-based capabilities into areas such as marketing operations, customer lifecycle management, and performance optimization, forming a more comprehensive AI-native commerce system.

“Commerce infrastructure is entering an AI agent-native phase,” Li added. “The role of the platform is evolving from providing tools to coordinating execution across workflows. AI Store Builder represents the starting point of that shift.”

About Shoplazza

Shoplazza is a global AI-native commerce operating system that enables brands to build, launch, and scale their online businesses. Built on an AI agent-native framework, Shoplazza integrates storefronts, marketing, payments, and operational workflows into a unified system designed to support scalable, long-term growth across global markets.

Gorilla Technology Increases Strategic Investment in Astrikos.AI

– Builds on Q4 investment to further advance Gorilla’s integrated AI infrastructure strategy across India, USA, and UAE
– Appoints Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital to the board of Astrikos

London, United Kingdom–(Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2026) – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in AI-driven Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced that it has increased its strategic investment in Astrikos.AI (“Astrikos”), the Bengaluru, India-based, real-time infrastructure intelligence company, deepening the operational and commercial relationship between the two businesses.

This increased investment marks the next step in Gorilla’s strategy to assemble a more complete AI infrastructure stack and builds on its initial strategic investment in Astrikos announced in December 2025. The original investment created the foundation for integrating Astrikos’ infrastructure intelligence into Gorilla’s broader platform, including its video intelligence stack, smart city architecture, and GPU-enabled data centre offerings.

This additional investment reflects continued progress across that integration and positions Gorilla to deepen its partnership with Astrikos. As AI deployments become larger, denser, and more operationally demanding, compute alone is no longer enough. The ability to monitor, predict, optimise, and secure critical infrastructure in real time is becoming essential.

Astrikos’ platform delivers operational intelligence across critical infrastructure environments, integrating data from cooling, power, IT load, and physical systems into a unified decision layer. This enables operators to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, optimise capacity, and bring greater control to increasingly complex infrastructure estates.

This capability is directly aligned with Gorilla’s broader strategy. The Company is building and enabling AI-ready infrastructure for governments and enterprises that require sovereignty, resilience, security, and control. By combining Gorilla’s strengths in AI infrastructure, GPU deployments, intelligent video analytics, edge intelligence, and cybersecurity with Astrikos’ infrastructure intelligence platform, the two companies are able to support a more complete lifecycle for modern AI deployments.

The expanded partnership is expected to accelerate joint commercial opportunities across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other strategic markets like the United States where demand for AI infrastructure is growing rapidly and where customers increasingly require private, secure, and operationally intelligent environments rather than generic commodity cloud models.

As a part of the investment, Gorilla has nominated Deborah Hudson, Senior Advisor to the CEO of Gorilla and incoming Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital, to serve as a Non-Executive Director on the board of Astrikos. Her appointment reflects Gorilla’s intent to provide active strategic oversight and closer governance alignment as the partnership expands. The appointment of Ms. Hudson will be finalized pending board approval.

Jay Chandan, Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology Group, said: “Our increased investment in Astrikos reflects exactly where the market is going and where Gorilla intends to win. India is one of the most important AI infrastructure growth markets in the world. India’s data centre industry is already sizeable and growing fast, with capacity expected to increase significantly over the next several years. At the same time, India’s AI market has been projected to reach around $17 billion by 2027, underpinned by strong government support and accelerating enterprise adoption.

“Our investment in Astrikos is a strategic force multiplier for Gorilla. Astrikos’ data centre intelligence capabilities add a highly valuable layer to our broader AI infrastructure strategy, strengthening what we can offer across compute, security, and operational intelligence.

“We are building for scale in India and across the wider region. We are investing in the infrastructure, the platforms, and the strategic partnerships that allow us to serve this growth properly. Astrikos fits squarely into that vision, and Deborah Hudson’s appointment to the board reflects the seriousness of our commitment and the depth of alignment between our two businesses.”

Chinmay Hegde, Chief Executive Officer of Astrikos.AI, said: “Gorilla’s increased investment is a strong endorsement of our platform, our vision, and the scale of the opportunity ahead of us. As critical infrastructure becomes more complex and more central to AI deployments, real-time operational intelligence is becoming indispensable. Customers do not just need infrastructure to exist, they need it to perform, adapt, and operate with precision.

“This investment gives Astrikos the ability to accelerate that vision and expand our reach across key markets, including the United States, India, and the broader Middle East. Gorilla brings global infrastructure capability, strong execution in government and enterprise environments, and a clear strategic commitment to next generation AI infrastructure.

“Together, we are building a differentiated offering that combines infrastructure, security, and operational intelligence in a way that is relevant to customers looking for intelligent, secure, and scalable platforms for growth.”

13-Benchmark SOTA! Mininglamp Technology Officially Open-Sources GUI-VLA Model Mano-P 1.0

BEIJING, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mininglamp Technology has officially open-sourced Mano-P 1.0, a self-developed GUI-aware agent model capable of executing complex cross-platform tasks entirely through pure vision. By seamlessly controlling desktop software, web interfaces, and complex graphical workflows, Mano-P breaks the “see but not do” limitation of AI, empowering users to build personalized AI while guaranteeing data sovereignty and ushering in the era of privatized personal AI.

Breaking the “See but Not Do” Barrier with Pure Vision

Unlike traditional automation constrained by API calls or HTML parsing, Mano-P utilizes pure visual understanding to operate without external interfaces. It serves as a critical execution foundation for the Agent ecosystem, integrating seamlessly into agents like OpenClaw. This breakthrough eliminates manual intervention bottlenecks, enabling autonomous execution in complex commercial scenarios such as 3D applications and professional tools that were previously inaccessible to standard agents.

Unrivaled Performance Across Global Benchmarks

The model redefines performance ceilings, achieving overwhelming State-of-the-Art (SOTA) results across 13 authoritative multimodal benchmarks. Operating on a dual-version architecture, the 72B model ranked first globally in the OSWorld benchmark with a 58.2% task success rate, leading the runner-up by 13.2 percentage points, while also dominating systems like ScreenSpot-V2 and MMBench. Furthermore, the highly efficient 4B quantized model supports local execution on Apple M4 Pro devices, achieving up to 476 tokens/s prefill speeds with just a 4.3GB memory footprint.

Local Deployment for Enterprise-Grade Privacy

As AI integrates into core workflows, data privacy is paramount. Mano-P ensures zero data uploads to the cloud by running locally on Mac devices or via a dedicated USB 4.0 compute stick. This “pure visual understanding plus local execution” architecture guarantees physical isolation from external networks, allowing AI to securely drive complex business processes and self-correct even in offline, high-privacy enterprise environments where data sovereignty is a non-negotiable requirement.

Fostering a Prosperous Personalized AI Ecosystem

Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Mano-P provides out-of-the-box usage modes, supporting commercial use and secondary development without complex API configurations. Mininglamp Technology is initially open-sourcing the Mano-CUA core skill for easy integration into existing workflows like OpenClaw or Claude Code, with local models and SDKs following within the month. Future releases will include underlying training methods and token pruning technology, accelerating the global development of a personalized AI ecosystem.
