Heliacon

Be the first light.

Heliacon is a studio and consultancy. We make you the origin the machines that now read the web find, trust and invoke, not the page they skip.

Work with Heliacon

The reader is now as often a machine as a person. We make you origin-first: found and cited by the models that summarise the web, and invocable by the agents that act on it.

Consulting

Be found, trusted and invoked

SEO, AEO and GEO, one level deeper. We measure by invocation, and hand you the research, the reference implementation and the tools behind it.

Alongside: experimentation and measurement, search and relevance, agentic product, and fractional product leadership.

We practise what we sell

Do not take our word for it. Ask our own origin a question. It answers from our corpus and every answer cites its source. This is exactly what we build for clients: knowledge a machine can find, trust and invoke.

Or call it directly, no browser required: AskMCPProvenanceMarkdownJSONJSON-LDFeed

This site runs a working MCP server, a citation-first ask endpoint and a provenance API. It is source-available. Inspect it.

The lab behind the work

We think in public. The research the consulting applies, worked out in the open. One origin, many projections, each carrying its provenance.

10 July 2026Some of what I learnt from building my own AI stackA follow-on to moving my AI back onto my own machine. What I have actually learnt running a mixed local and cloud setup: route the task, don't pick a side, the things that quietly broke, how much I offload and why the rationing has already started.10 June 2026I'm moving my AI back onto my own machineMy AI bill is creeping up again. Why I am moving more of my AI onto hardware I own, driven by the two things that never go away: cost and privacy.

What we build

Products prove the research. Apps, tools and games built on the same origin, each a projection of it.

In development. Each one stands on its own and traces back to the research it proves.
