COLIBRIX ONE and BitGN Launch Agentic Ecommerce Challenge for Developers Worldwide
A global competition connecting AI developers with ecommerce businesses ready to test autonomous agents before committing to full-scale deployment.
AI has moved well past the experimental stage in ecommerce. According to Capital One Shopping Research, 80% of online retailers now use AI in their operations, fully or in pilot mode. Of those, 69% report a direct increase in revenue attributable to AI, and 72% have reduced operational costs. The result is a compounding effect: more income, lower overhead.
The reason is straightforward: agentic AI can automate nearly every layer of ecommerce operations. A shopping concierge assembles product bundles from natural language queries. A marketing agent tests creatives and reallocates budgets in real time. A fraud detection agent blocks suspicious activity before checkout, while a post-purchase agent handles the return on the other side of the same transaction. Each agent operates independently, and together they cover the full commercial cycle without a human in the loop.
The shift from chatbots to autonomous agents that make decisions and act on behalf of a business is already underway. The question is which agents are reliable enough to trust with live systems.
Bridging Builders and Businesses
COLIBRIX ONE's clients are growing ecommerce businesses with ambitions to reach global markets. Most understand that AI agents can fundamentally change how they operate. The barrier is practical: deploying a serious solution takes time and capital, and there is almost nowhere to pressure-test agent logic against real commercial scenarios before going live.
That is exactly the gap this challenge is designed to close. COLIBRIX ONE and BitGN connect skilled developers with businesses that want to evaluate AI agents at no cost, before making an investment decision.
For developers, it is a concrete opportunity to find a real commercial partner and demonstrate the value of their work under pressure. For businesses, it is a way to see how an agent behaves in realistic, high-stakes conditions without putting a live system at risk.
Checkout decisions, dispute resolution, authentication recovery, routing optimisation: tasks that once required human review are increasingly handled autonomously. This is directly relevant to what clients need today and what they will expect from infrastructure partners in the years ahead.
Inside the Sandbox
The Agentic Ecommerce Challenge places participants inside a fully simulated online store: a product warehouse, customer files, and a policy rulebook, with no human assistance at any stage.
Tasks are modelled on friction points that break real payment and retail systems, across six categories: fraud prevention, missing package resolution, dispute automation, cross-border routing, credit and instalment offers, and 3DS authentication recovery.
Sandbox opens May 30. Registration is open to individual engineers and company teams.
