Blasts from the past

Every version of us,still online.

Old Auxo websites, 3D experiments, game experiences and client builds since replaced — the whole trail, live at its original URLs. We keep them up because the detours are the story: every time we were too early, we were early at something that mattered.

2019

Three businesses in one T-shirt

We started out selling blockchain, robotic process automation and machine learning — at the same time. The hypothesis was that one project could combine all three in a genuinely meaningful way. The market's hypothesis was “what?”. It took nearly six months just to explain what each of those things were, never mind sell one.

2020

The world stopped. We focused.

Then everything switched off — and, strangely, that was the best thing that ever happened to us. Businesses suddenly needed to be online, properly. We cut the noise, focused down on web platforms, and discovered we were genuinely good at Jamstack builds in React. Then we started bolting real back-ends onto them, and the platform business was born.

Some of that era's client work is still quietly answering on its original URLs — the clients have long since evolved, but the internet remembers.

2021–2022

The metaverse bet

Before “metaverse” was a word in earnings calls, we bet that a business could be built on 3D and Three.js — virtual walkthroughs, immersive client experiences, game-driven storytelling. We were right about the capability and early on the market: explaining it was a full-time job.

Unlike certain large social networks, we didn't pour billions in. We listened to what clients actually wanted, pocketed the capability — and kept the toys. That muscle is exactly what powers what we're building now.

2022–2023

The AI turn

Oz was playing in the OpenAI playground; the moment we got into the ChatGPT beta, we knew. Theo — co-founder and CTO — was mid-masters in AI at the time. So we hunkered down and focused the business on AI.

We were early. Again. So we took a step back and taught instead: AI training for executives was born, while web platforms kept the lights on. The “Be Exceptional” site carried the standard we still hold ourselves to.

2024

The explosion

Suddenly nobody needed six months of explaining. AI went from “what is it?” to “how fast can we have it?” — and the years of being too early became the head start.

2025

Early no more

The explosion turned into real AI projects. Theo started his doctorate in AI; Oz completed his Oxford programme in the space. The 2025 site said it plainly: an integrated software innovation and digital marketing agency — two services, built to win.

2026

This chapter is in progress

You're reading it — this site is the 2026 entry. And the metaverse bet is getting its vindication: we're building a playable Auxo world where you fly our Spark through the client headaches we've fixed. It's live-in-progress now.
