TLDR: Nearshore has launched Luna AI, a conversational AI platform designed to automate and accelerate the quoting and ordering processes for contract manufacturers across the Americas. Powered by Google’s Gemini and other AI models, Luna AI aims to compress a process that traditionally takes months into mere days, enhancing efficiency and supply chain resilience.
SAN FRANCISCO – October 29, 2025 – Nearshore, a leading AI platform dedicated to automating factory quoting and ordering, has officially launched Luna AI. This innovative conversational AI layer is set to transform the manufacturing landscape by guiding brands, efficiently matching projects with suitable suppliers, generating precise quotes, and establishing commercial terms with unprecedented speed.
Traditionally, the process of sourcing, quoting, and deal-making in contract manufacturing could span several months. With Luna AI, Nearshore aims to drastically reduce this timeline to just a few days, offering a significant boost in agility and speed across the supply chain.
Luna AI leverages advanced Google AI models, including Gemini, to power its intelligent agents. These agents are designed to guide both brands and factories through every step of the sourcing and ordering journey. As part of the Google for Startups program, Nearshore has trained Luna with proprietary data to enhance Request for Quote (RFQ) quality, fill in informational gaps, and ask pertinent questions based on specific manufacturing categories.
Danny Navarro, Head of Google for Startups, North America, commented on the launch, stating, “With the launch of Luna, Nearshore is redefining what’s possible in modern manufacturing. Their new intelligent agents will help companies connect with reliable factories across the Americas to better and more efficiently serve customers.”
Nearshore’s core mission is to streamline collaboration between brands and factories. Historically, brands faced challenges in finding suppliers capable of handling smaller production runs and demanding fast turnarounds. Simultaneously, factories often lacked the necessary tools to efficiently quote or evaluate new business opportunities. Luna AI addresses these pain points by providing an AI-driven, real-time, and regionally focused solution.

The platform automates the entire sourcing and ordering process, from initial factory matching to finalizing commercial terms. With a vast network of thousands of vetted factories spanning the U.S. and Latin America, Nearshore’s Luna AI is poised to facilitate a seamless transition towards more resilient and regional manufacturing supply chains.
