From C++ games to
a series that writes itself.
QUAK is a one-person studio that builds things that actually run: AI robots and agents, self-generating live shows, servers, databases, APIs. Built to order — or for ourselves, like Simlokatorzy.
Built to order
What we build
QUAK means duck: it flies, walks and swims.
AI robots & agents
An agent that listens, plans and acts. You see every step.
Self-running live productions
Series and streams generated by AI: from chat to a scene on screen.
Servers, databases, APIs
Backends that survive production. Every event is visible.
Apps & games
Apps for businesses and games in the browser. They load instantly.
Each preview is a slice of the subpage. Click to see the whole thing.
Story
How we got here
Every chapter is a different technology. The common thread: it had to work.
-
It started with games
The first games in C++: a loop, collisions, hand-rolled data structures. They taught us that a working program beats a pretty one.
-
Games go online
Canvas, sprites, a live leaderboard. Still playable today.
-
Websites, apps, QUAK Learn
QUAK becomes a company: apps for workshops, wholesalers and offices, client sites, open-source libraries and the QUAK Learn blog.
-
Agents and our own runtime
Our own agent platform: local-first, on our own hardware, with the Jarvis assistant. An agent is not a chat box — it is a process with memory, tools and a job.
-
A series that generates itself
Games, web, backend and AI in one: a Polish animated series running live on YouTube. And proof that QUAK builds such systems from scratch.

Track record
Where we've been
Code where bugs are expensive.
A global education app, students across many markets.
Games for healthcare: the mechanics have to help, not just entertain.
DTS, DAS and RTTR systems: fibre-optic sensing, realtime monitoring.
An app for analysing clinical trials worldwide, on a global data warehouse.
Kubernetes · Docker · GCP — daily work, not a scare.
Blog
The posts worth keeping
The ones we still come back to.
Local voice assistant with Ollama
Microphone → speech recognition → local LLM → voice. A whole assistant on your own machine, nothing sent to the cloud.
AIOllamaPythonvoice"One to rule them all" — a service rebuild story
Rebuilding a service and migrating millions of NoSQL documents on Google Cloud without stopping production.
architectureGCPNoSQLmigrationBi-Temporal Events
Two clocks in one event: when something happened, and when we found out. Martin Fowler's vision versus practice, "the Arkency way".

Former headliners
They work, but we no longer develop them.
