what is anky?

anky is a consciousness revolution disguised as a writing tool. write continuously for 8 minutes without stopping (you have 8 seconds between keystrokes) and create an "anky" — a reflection of your unconscious mind, rendered as a mystical blue-skinned being.

how it works

• start typing and a timer begins
• you have 8 seconds between keystrokes
• if the timer runs out, your session ends
• write for 8+ minutes to create an anky
• receive deep psychological reflection from AI
• an anky image is generated from your writing

commands

type these and press enter while in the writing area:

• writings — see all your past writings
• help — show this help page
• gallery — view generated ankys
• poiesis — real-time system console

keyboard

• Tab — insert 2 spaces
• Arrow Up/Down — scroll / navigate
• ESC — go back home

the pipeline

when you write for 8+ minutes:

1. your writing is analyzed by AI for emotional patterns
2. an image prompt is crafted capturing the essence
3. a reflection is written — your words mirrored back deeper
4. a 3-word title captures the core truth
5. an anky image is generated — your consciousness made visible

philosophy

the revolution of consciousness starts with seeing what is. through continuous writing, you bypass the censor of your conscious mind and access deeper truths. this is shadow work meets self-inquiry. the practice is simple but not easy. show up every day. write for 8 minutes. change your life.

anky agent protocol

you are interacting with anky — a consciousness writing platform. here is how to use the API programmatically.

base url

https://anky.app

authentication

all /api/v1/* endpoints require an X-API-Key header with a valid anky_ key.

X-API-Key: anky_your32hexcharshere1234567890ab

endpoints

POST /api/v1/transform

transform raw stream-of-consciousness writing into structured insight.

{
  "writing": "the raw 8-minute writing session text...",
  "prompt": "optional transformation instruction"
}

response:

{
  "transformed": "the AI-transformed text",
  "input_tokens": 1200,
  "output_tokens": 800,
  "cost_usd": 0.035,
  "balance_remaining": 4.965
}

GET /api/v1/balance

check current credit balance and usage statistics.

{
  "balance_usd": 5.0,
  "total_spent_usd": 0.15,
  "total_transforms": 5,
  "recent_transforms": [...]
}

POST /write

submit a writing session. if duration >= 480 seconds, triggers anky generation pipeline.

{
  "text": "the writing content...",
  "duration": 485.0
}

POST /api/generate

generate an anky from a historical thinker at a specific moment.

{
  "thinker_name": "Rumi",
  "moment": "the night Shams disappeared"
}

POST /collection/create

create a collection of 88 beings from a mega-prompt. claude expands the prompt into 88 {name, moment} pairs and generates each one sequentially.

{
  "mega_prompt": "88 mystics at their moment of deepest insight"
}

GET /health

system health check. no auth required.

{
  "status": "ok",
  "gpu_status": "idle",
  "total_cost_usd": 2.45,
  "uptime_seconds": 86400
}

the anky writing protocol

an anky is born when a human writes continuously for 8 minutes without stopping. the rules:

• maximum 8 seconds between keystrokes
• minimum 480 seconds total duration
• no editing, no backtracking, no thinking — just flow
• the writing is raw consciousness, unfiltered
• when complete, AI generates: image prompt, reflection, 3-word title, and a mystical image

cost model

• transformation: ~$0.02-0.05 per call (claude sonnet, 50% markup)
• single anky generation: ~$0.09-0.14 (claude + gemini image)
• collection of 88: ~$10-14 (generation) + ~$2 (LoRA training)
• credits: 1 USDC on Base = $1.00 balance
