What's next for Auntie AI: Blackwards Route Desk

Inspiration

Black creators are routinely asked to move quickly through opportunities while the terms doing the most work remain vague: ownership, credit, rights, compensation, and audience access.

What it does

Auntie AI: Blackwards Route Desk turns public-safe offer terms into an owner-first route packet. A creator chooses an opportunity, partnership, funding, or publishing route; summarizes the offer; and marks compensation, rights, credit, audience access, and urgency. GPT-5.6 returns Proceed, Clarify, Protect, or Pass, plus ownership checks, extraction signals, questions to ask before yes, one 24-hour action, and a receipt checklist.

How we built it

The isolated app uses the OpenAI Responses API with GPT-5.6, medium reasoning, strict JSON-schema output, no tools, store:false, and a second server-side schema check. A D1 ledger enforces public quotas while storing only salted actor hashes, input hashes, model status, latency, timestamps, and counters. Creator summaries and generated packets are not persisted. Three synthetic packets remain available if live generation is unavailable.

Challenges and learning

The central design challenge was making the hidden decision surface legible without pretending to approve contracts or provide legal advice. We treated submitted text as quoted data, rejected private contact information and credentials, kept the product usable under quota pressure, and tested prompt injection, malformed output, timeouts, and responsive accessibility.

What is new

Black2Africa predates Build Week. This isolated Route Desk app, GPT-5.6 workflow, privacy guard, D1 ledger, synthetic cases, responsive interface, tests, social card, demo, and evidence package were newly built during Build Week with Codex under Faith Cheltenham's product direction.

Accomplishments

Production proof returned a complete HTTP 200 packet with source:live and model:gpt-5.6. Public browser QA passed on phone, tablet, and desktop without horizontal overflow. The repository contains setup, privacy, testing, architecture, and launch evidence.
