AI agents in Morocco

Live numbers as of 2026-11-14

These figures come from the public stats snapshot generated on 2026-11-14 from backend ledgers. They show volume and reliability only; they do not prove any single route wins your workload. Run your own 50 prompts before you move budget.

What the routes cost right now

Prices are USD per 1M tokens, taken from the live registry snapshot dated 2026-11-14. The KES columns use the checkout rate of KES 133 = $1; your bank or card issuer may add its own conversion margin on top.

The catalogue is authoritative at /v1/models (the OpenAI-compatible listing) and at /models (the public card with context windows and rate limits). Check both before a production commitment; prices move with provider terms.

See the live list from your terminal: curl -s https://api.fikraapi.co.ke/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_FIKRA_KEY"

What production looks like in Morocco

A typical deployment in Morocco is small and concrete: one support queue, one budget cap and one route that survived a 50-prompt test. WhatsApp itself is not billed by Fikra; your WhatsApp integration passes the conversation text to the API, and Fikra bills the tokens.

The pattern that keeps side projects alive is boring: default route for routine work, escalation route for the hard 10%, wallet alerts before renewal day, and a rollback to the previous route ID pinned in /v1/models.

1. Support agent: deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 for routine replies; escalate billing disputes to a stronger route.
2. Email triage: classify and draft with qwen3.8-27b at temperature 0 for deterministic labels.
3. Coding assistant: glm-5.3-flash for completion-heavy work; qwen3.8-27b for structured refactors.
4. Back-office: fikra-embed for retrieval, then one chat route for summaries; keep the corpus off shared free tiers.

Deployment sequence

1. Install the OpenAI client; set base_url to https://api.fikraapi.co.ke/v1 and model to a live route from /v1/models.
2. Set a conservative max_tokens and a per-request timeout before the first real user touches it.
3. Cap the key in the dashboard; fund only what the pilot needs, from $5 upwards.
4. Watch /stats and the dashboard for a week; expand budget only after cost per accepted task stabilises.
5. Rotate keys per environment; use separate keys for staging and production, and revoke on offboarding.

Budget guardrails that fit a MAD team

Fund in dollars, plan in MAD. At the KES 133 = $1 checkout rate for Kenya, or your issuer's rate elsewhere, write the 30-day budget in local currency and convert it into a daily window. Lite allows $0.50 per day by default, Pro $1.50, Max $5.00; overages are not possible on a prepaid wallet because the balance is the hard cap.

How to start in Morocco in ten minutes

1. Create the account at /account/signup and verify the email address.
2. Copy the fk_live_ key from the dashboard and store it somewhere safe; it is shown once.
3. Open /dashboard and pay by USD card. The minimum top-up is $5. Conversion from Moroccan dirham happens at your card issuer's rate and fees, not at a Fikra-set rate. Kenya also shows M-Pesa and Airtel Money; Morocco does not.
4. Point your OpenAI client at https://api.fikraapi.co.ke/v1 and set the model to deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017.
5. Run 50 prompts from your own workload, then open /stats and the dashboard to check token spend and cache hits before you scale.
6. Cap the key with a budget in the dashboard, keep the route that wins your prompt set, and drop the rest.
