/ About this event

What if your AI could do more than answer questions and actually help build and run your e-commerce business?

Join Alibaba.com and Sunstone at the Annenberg Community Beach House, one of Santa Monica’s most distinctive beachfront venues, for a live look at Accio and the next generation of AI-powered commerce.

Through a product presentation, live demo, and practical use cases, you’ll see how Accio can help take a business from idea to execution: researching the market, developing products, finding suppliers, launching an online store, creating marketing content, and managing everyday operations.
