The gap

2.2 million people face U.S. immigration alone.

Representation in immigration court costs $5,000 to $15,000. Families fleeing violence cannot afford that. So they file without a lawyer, and most of them lose. No one is building a consumer-facing AI tool for these people. Every player in immigration tech serves attorneys. aiylum serves everyone.

2.2M

Who it serves

Three users.
One platform.

aiylum is built for every side of the asylum process, from the applicant filling out their first form alone to the pro bono coordinator fulfilling a mandate.

The flywheel

One engine. Every user.

No competitor has this. Every other immigration tech product serves one side of the market. aiylum serves all three, and every case that flows through the platform makes the next one better.

How it works

From first interview to final filing.

Every step is built around one principle: the applicant stays the author. aiylum structures and checks. It does not invent.

01
Conversational intake in the applicant's native language
The AI interviews the applicant and asks follow-up questions to surface details that trauma, limited education, or language barriers would otherwise leave on the table.
02
Real-time consistency checks on the narrative
Asylum claims fail on internal inconsistency more than anything else. aiylum runs multi-LLM consensus checks across the full story to catch contradictions before documents are finalized.
03
Automated evidence gathering
The platform pulls supporting evidence from NGO reports, U.S. State Department Country Reports, and news sources that corroborate the specific claims made in the narrative.
04
End-to-end document generation
Form I-589, Form I-765, affidavits, cover letters, and legal briefs, generated from the applicant's own words. Every document is read back for approval before it is finalized.
05
Lifecycle command center
Tracks the full journey from asylum filing through EAD, Green Card, and Naturalization. Keeps a secure document vault for every filing along the way.
