The AXQ team
One founder. A team of agents.
AXQ is run by John Bates with a small team of AI agents. Each agent has one job, written rules and a set level of autonomy. They are software, not staff, and they are shown here so you can see how the business actually runs.
The person in charge
The work is done by John. The agents run the machine around it.
John sets the direction, does the client work himself and signs off every rule the agents work within. New outreach sequences, new tests and any spend wait for his yes.
The agents handle the repeatable parts of running a go-to-market: research, outreach, content, records and this website. Every one of them reports back, and every run is logged.
