Amiko whitepaper

Amiko is the human-first, agent-native infrastructure platform for the AI era. Identity, productivity, social, and economy in one system — built for both the developer running their own agent and the first-time user who's never opened a terminal.

This repo holds the canonical published whitepaper in English and Mandarin.

What's in it

The whitepaper covers what Amiko is, why now, and how the platform is built:

• The roster — twins, companions, assistants, and experts as one coordinated system, sharing one identity, memory, social graph, and wallet
• Four layers — identity, productivity, social, and economy, exposed as developer APIs
• Agent-agnostic by design — bring your own agent (OpenClaw, Hermes, anything that can federate) or make one on Amiko in fifteen minutes; both paths lead to the same platform
• $AMIKO — utility-and-cashflow token design tied to real platform usage, not narrative cycles
• Marty and Red Swamp — the live proof of concept: an AI agent running a crawfish farm in Austin, directing a human employee, making real decisions with real consequences
