Sponsored by Forerunner Ventures! Anyone can spin up a storefront with AI now. But almost no AI can make the thing that goes in the box. Arcade adds the physical product layer, giving you the infrastructure to prompt instantly priced products and actually fulfill the products you sell. For Tech Week, Arcade is opening that up. Our APIs give you and your agents direct access to product generation - which means the product image with an instant, guaranteed price, and made on demand and drop-shipped from our vetted manufacturer network. It's the same infrastructure our own product runs on, and this is the first time it's available outside Arcade. Build a consumer app, a B2B tool, a Shopify integration, an agentic commerce experience, or something we haven't thought of - using the Arcade platform. Developers, designers, and artists all welcome. Judges include Kirsten Green of Forerunner Ventures, Mariam Naficy, Chairman and Founder of Minted and CEO of Arcade, Ash Herr of TIAT, and other surprise guests. $10,000 will be awarded to the first prize team and $5,000 will be awarded to the second prize team. Examples of what you might build with Arcade: - An iMessage agent that lets people design and buy a product inside a conversation - An agent that turns audience requests into merch - A Shopify app for instant product customization at checkout - A tool that turns an artist's portfolio into a full branded assortment - An elevated Gen-Z jewelry brand - A customizable pet products business This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
