About Us

Ishan Singh and Oliver Lambert

Our mission

We're dontrel(ai) — short for "don't rely on AI." We build tools for people who want to think, speak, and problem-solve on their own, without defaulting to AI for every answer. We're not anti-AI; we're pro-you. Our tools exist to sharpen the skills AI makes it easy to skip.

Our values

— Clear thinking: work through problems in your own head before outsourcing them
— Thoughtful analysis: take time to reason, not just react
— Original ideas: your voice, not a paraphrase of someone else's
— Irreplaceability: skills that make you harder to automate, not easier

What this site offers

SpeechDev is dontrel(ai)'s first tool: structured, real-time speaking practice. Short prompts, immediate feedback, no script. It's built to strengthen clarity, confidence, and composure through repetition, turning practice into a habit that builds independence instead of dependence.
