# zaiq - AI Capacity Orchestrator

**Steady distribution of surplus AI capacity**

---

## What is zaiq?

**zaiq** is a Docker-deployable service that orchestrates AI development tasks across rate-limited APIs, starting with Claude Code and expanding to universal AI provider support.

### Etymology
- **zai** (在) - Hokkien/Singlish for "steady, capable"
- **zā'id** (زائد) - Arabic for "surplus, additional" 
- **q** - Queue management
- **zaiq** = Steady distribution of surplus capacity through intelligent queueing

## Development Roadmap

### Phase 2: Claude Code Supplement (Months 1-3)
Single-user orchestrator to maximize Claude Code utilization during downtime periods.

### Phase 4: Team Time-Share Platform (Months 7-12)  
Multi-user capacity sharing and time-block marketplace for teams.

### Phase 5: Universal AI Orchestrator (Year 2+)
Generic rate-limit workaround for all AI providers (GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.).
