Writes requirements and high-level decisions. Does NOT write everyday code. Does NOT dispatch, monitor, or post to Slack. Talks to Amen Ra directly.
Turns Opus requirements into farm-ready task prompts. Designs implementation approaches. Creates the work queue that Haiku processes.
Runs on EC2 via Bedrock (~$20/mo). Dispatches, reviews code, triages bugs, routes by complexity, generates PR docs, monitors dependencies, digests Slack. Does NOT need Opus permission. 24/7 autonomous — no laptop required.

M1 Mac for iOS/Android builds + Llama 13B local inference. Replaces Cursor for complex tasks.
Fine-tuned Llama 70B via QLoRA on SageMaker. Trained on all Heru codebases + cultural data.
In our system: The Platform (boilerplate). The mother that births products. Every Heru app is born from the Auset Platform.
In Kemetic cosmology, Auset is the divine mother — she gathered the scattered pieces of Ausar and brought him back to life. The platform gathers all the pieces (auth, payments, AI, deployment) so products can live.
In our system: The Ausar Engine — the feature registry and dependency resolution system. The foundation upon which everything is built.
Ausar is the lord of resurrection, the eternal king. He represents the foundation that persists. The engine that never dies, only transforms.
In our system: Each product born from the Auset Platform. QuikCarRental is a Heru. Site962 is a Heru. DreamiHairCare is a Heru. There are 53 Herus.
Heru is the son of Auset and Ausar — born from the platform (Auset) and the engine (Ausar). Each Heru inherits the full power of the platform and goes out to conquer its domain.
In our system: The AI Intelligence layer. Also the founder's name (from the Ausar Auset Society).
Ra is the sun — the source of light and intelligence. Amen Ra is the hidden sun, the power behind everything you see. The AI that powers every Heru without being seen.
In our system: Testing and validation. The MaatValidator checks types, environment configs, and deployment readiness. Also the name of the three-tier orchestration protocol.
Maat is truth, justice, balance, and order. In the Hall of Judgment, the heart is weighed against Maat's feather. Our code is weighed against Maat's validation before it ships.
In our system: Documentation and knowledge management. The keeper of records.
Tehuti invented writing (Medu Neter). He recorded everything — the words of the Neteru, the laws of nature, the stories of the people. Our docs system carries his name.
In our system: CLI and scaffolding tools. The commands that create new features, generate code, and shape the platform.
Ptah is the divine craftsman — he created the physical world through speech and thought. He spoke things into existence. That's what our CLI does.
In our system: Fraud detection and protection. The security layer that guards against threats.
Sekhmet is the lioness — fierce protector, destroyer of enemies. When threats come for our platform or our users, Sekhmet handles it.
In our system: Security layer. Authentication, authorization, and access control.
Anpu guards the threshold between worlds. Nothing passes without being examined. Our security layer does the same — every request is checked.
In our system: Payment processing. Yapit (primary) and Stripe (fallback).
Sobek is strength and protection over waterways and commerce. Money flows like water — Sobek ensures it flows to the right places.
In our system: Errors, bugs, and threats. The adversary. What we fight against every day.
Set murdered Ausar and scattered his body. Bugs break our code, security threats scatter our data. We fight Set every day. And like Heru defeated Set, our products overcome their bugs.
Potential use: The build servers that shape code into products. The potter's wheel that forms each Heru.
Khnum shaped human bodies on his potter's wheel from Nile clay. The build farm shapes raw code into working products — same energy, different material.
The original name of ancient Egypt. Means "The Black Land" — referring to the rich, dark soil of the Nile valley. NOT "Egypt" (a Greek corruption).
We use Kemetic terminology because these are the original names, from the original people. Using European corruptions would be like calling yourself by someone else's name for you.
Means "Words of God" or "Sacred Speech." The original writing system of Kemet. "Hieroglyphics" is a Greek word meaning "sacred carvings" — their translation, not the original name.
The divine principles / forces of nature in Kemetic cosmology. Not "gods" in the European sense — more like personified forces of nature. Each represents an aspect of creation.
Every component in our architecture is named after a Neter because each component IS a force — Maat (truth/validation), Sekhmet (protection), Tehuti (knowledge), etc.
Named after Clara Villarosa. Founded Hue-Man Bookstore in Harlem — the largest Black bookstore in America. Connected people to knowledge. Amen Ra's personal mentor.
In 1994, Amen Ra had dinner with Clara Villarosa, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, and Cleo Parker Robinson — four great Black women, introduced by Clara. Every name in our AI is from that lineage.
Named after Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. Built Bethune-Cookman University from $1.50 and five students. Advised President Roosevelt. Amen Ra graduated from Bethune-Cookman.
Mary built an institution from almost nothing. That's what the top-tier model does — takes minimal input and builds complete, institutional-grade output.
Named after Dr. Maya Angelou. Poet, author, civil rights activist. Said more with less. Balanced power with grace.
Maya's writing was efficient and devastating. Every word carried weight. The balanced model works the same way — not the most powerful, not the fastest, but the perfect balance.
Named after Dr. Nikki Giovanni. Poet, activist, professor. Loved Tupac so much she had "Thug Life" tattooed on her chest. No pretense, no apology.
Nikki was unapologetic and direct. She bridged generations — from the Black Arts Movement to Tupac. The quick model is the same: fast, real, no pretense. Also the free tier for public users.
Named after Muhammad Ali. Named by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad himself. The Greatest. Stood on principle even when it cost him everything. Ali is Clara's sibling — the AI for the NOI Platform.
Named after Master Fard Muhammad. The founder of the Nation of Islam. Born February 26 — the same day as Amen Ra. The origin. The source.
Named after the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The teacher. Built the blueprint for Black economic independence. His program is the architecture these platforms encode.
Named after the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Reached the people, rebuilt from nothing. The public-facing voice. Fast, direct, reaches everyone.
DBA under Quik Nation, Inc. Clara's home. The B2B AI brand and technology licensing entity. quikintelligence.com is the B2B portal for Managed/SDK tiers and sibling platform licensing.
The collective name for all Quik Nation build infrastructure. Quik Cloud 1 = Mac M4 Pro (24GB RAM, Tailscale VPN, primary for complex tasks + mobile builds). Quik Cloud 2 = EC2 t3.large (44.200.66.249). Quik Cloud 3 = EC2 t3.large (100.55.154.135). All three run agentic-loop.js 24/7.
Quik Cloud 1 is always distinctive — the Mac. EC2s are Quik Cloud 2 and 3.
A program that receives a task, calls an AI model, executes tool calls (read file, write file, run bash), and repeats until the task is done. "Agentic" = the AI acts as an agent with tools, not just a chatbot. Our agentic-loop.js is the core of Quik Cloud.
Max 50 iterations per task. Tools: read_file, write_file, edit_file, run_bash, list_dir, search_grep, git_commit, task_complete
Software that runs AI models locally on your own hardware. No API keys, no rate limits, no cost. We run Ollama on each EC2 with Qwen 2.5 Coder 3B and Llama 3.2 3B models. Quik Cloud 1 runs Qwen 7B (437 tok/s) and Llama 3B (103 tok/s).
When one API key gets rate-limited (too many requests), automatically switch to another key from a different account. We have 13 keys across 6 email accounts so each account has its own daily quota. When one exhausts, the next one picks up.
Expo's build and submit service for React Native apps. We ALWAYS use --local flag (build on our own machine, not Expo's cloud). After local build, eas submit pushes to Apple TestFlight or Google Play Store.
iOS needs Xcode + Mac. Android needs Android SDK + Java 17. Both can run in parallel on Quik Cloud 1.
AWS service that hosts our Next.js frontends. Automatically builds on git push. Provides CDN (global content delivery), SSL certificates, and preview deployments for pull requests.
AWS service for production backends. We build Docker containers, push to ECR (container registry), and App Runner runs them with auto-scaling (1-25 instances). 30-88% cheaper than running EC2 24/7.
Where we keep all secrets (API keys, database passwords, tokens). Encrypted with KMS. Never committed to git. Path format: /quik-nation/shared/KEY_NAME or /quik-nation/build-farm/KEY_NAME.
One repository containing multiple projects (frontend, backend, mobile) that share code and configuration. Our boilerplate is a monorepo with pnpm workspaces. Each Heru starts as a copy of this monorepo.
A query language for APIs. Instead of REST endpoints (/api/users, /api/orders), you have one endpoint and ask for exactly the data you need. Our backends use Apollo Server (GraphQL server) and frontends use Apollo Client.
The corporation (NOT LLC). Structured for equity and potential IPO. Formerly Alliance Software Development (founded 2018). The parent entity for all Quik products and services.
PRIMARY payment provider. Black-owned payment platform from the Virgin Islands. Enables global economic connections Stripe cannot (Caribbean, Africa, Central/South America). Yapit processes first; Stripe is fallback only.
"This achieves the goal of what the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad wanted — the Black Man in America connect with the Black Man around the Globe."
Platform Owner = Quik Nation. Owns the infrastructure, master Stripe/Clerk/AWS accounts, bears hosting costs. Site Owner = The business using the platform. Owns their data, customers, revenue. Uses Stripe Connect for their payments. Critical distinction for multi-tenant SaaS.
Multi-purpose facility in Atlanta owned by Quik Nation. Has event venue, barber shop, food court. The real-world testing ground for all Quik products — where digital meets physical.
Opus = Architect (writes requirements, talks to Amen Ra). Sonnet = Planner (turns requirements into task prompts). Haiku = Dispatcher (sends tasks to Quik Cloud, autonomous 24/7). Each has ONE job. Non-negotiable.
Pipeline: Opus → requirements.md → Sonnet → task prompts → Haiku → Quik Cloud → code
An organization that licenses the Auset Platform to run their own independent ecosystem. They are PLATFORM_OWNER of their instance (own their data, brand, revenue, AWS account). Quik Nation is the technology partner. Examples: NOI, HBCUs, churches.
