Before ChatGPT, before AI Agents… there was webRunes I/O. (2018 Archive)
📜 A blast from the past for this Sunday.
I decided to keep an old video on our channel from 7 years ago. Back then, we were building WRIO as a Web3 Protocol for a "Machine Readable Web."
The vision was simple but radical: Create a world where software could autonomously read, execute, and transact business logic without human intervention.
We bet on Smart Contracts to achieve this. Then the Crypto Winter hit. The ICO market froze. The technology wasn't ready for mass adoption.
🥶 But a frozen market doesn't kill a valid mission.
We kept the vision alive. We evolved. Today, WRIO is no longer about blockchain hype. We achieve that same "Machine Readable" autonomy using AI Agents and our proprietary PRaaS (Process as a Service) architecture.
The technology changed. The stack changed (Solidity →...

A WhatsApp chatbot that automates tasks is NOT the same as a custom-built web application.
And honestly, I’ve noticed how much people love AI-powered WhatsApp bots lately.
As someone who develops AI workflows and custom websites, I personally believe that combining a well-built web application with AI puts you one step ahead.
Imagine having a custom interface, your own database, automated workflows, and an AI agent working together in one place.
That’s a completely different level of flexibility.
Don’t get me wrong: WhatsApp bots aren’t always the inferior option. They’re great for customer-facing interactions and quick communication.
But personally? I’d rather give customers a dedicated web experience whenever the project calls for it.
Are you Team WhatsApp Bot or Team Web Bot?
When the web app and the bot share one database, which side owns the conversation state: the n8n workflow or the app? That choice seems to decide whether a customer can switch between WhatsApp and the web view mid-request.

Rooting for the completion of this challenge
Tracewell, a website that follows an AI's reasoning from question to answer.
You scroll, a question types itself, and one glowing line carries you into the model: through glass layers, past the words it pays attention to, and into a dark space where it lights the words it uses, one by one, until the answer forms.
The first version looked good and said nothing. I rebuilt every 3D object around one question: with the text hidden, could you still tell what is happening? This is the result.
React, Three.js, GSAP.
