What we hold to

  1. Pro-AI. We use AI every day. We help people use it well, never to fear it.

  2. Consent first. Every source is opt-in, and every yes can be taken back.

  3. Never report people. Not to employers, schools, police or governments. We don't build for surveillance.

  4. A mirror, not a doctor. No diagnosis, no scores, no medical claims.

  5. Care is never paywalled. Crisis support, privacy controls and deleting your data stay free.

How we got here

  1. 2024

    Moheet spends four to seven hours a day on ChatGPT. Grades slip, deadlines pass, social plans get skipped. Looking for help turns up nothing, so Moheet writes a personal set of usage rules and climbs out.

  2. 2024

    Moheet starts working with Dr. Nasir Raza Awan at SpinaCure. Separately, Abdul Rehman works with Dr. Awan on EEG seizure prediction at LUMS.

  3. 2026

    The three start Aqliyo: one who lived the problem, one who builds clinical machine learning, one who has spent two decades on the brain.

  4. Nov 2026

    The name Aqliyo is adopted and the first pilot starts forming with university students in Lahore.

Aqliyo in one paragraph

Aqliyo shows people what they hand over to AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, and helps them keep those skills with three short daily reps, many of them on paper. It is pro-AI and private by design: raw chats are deleted after analysis and no one else sees an individual's data. Aqliyo was founded in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2026.
