A more accountable way to handle AI in education
Today, Yavqo is launching Geolocking for the Yavqo Vision 1 as a new beta feature intended to help stop AI-assisted cheating in schools, universities, and other educational settings.
Geolocking relies on Yavqo Maps and the Yavqo Business API to identify designated schools and campus areas. When Vision 1 detects that it has entered a supported educational location, AI capabilities that could be used to help with schoolwork or examinations may be limited.
All other aspects of the Vision 1 experience remain available as usual.
How Geolocking operates
Vision 1 combines location information with Yavqo's mapping and business data to determine whether the device is inside a designated school or campus area.
When an eligible location is detected, the relevant AI functionality is automatically restricted for as long as the user stays there.
Once the user leaves the designated area, the restrictions are lifted automatically and Vision 1 returns to its normal experience.
The system is built to work automatically, so students, teachers, or schools do not need to manually turn the feature on or off.
Keeping the Vision 1 experience intact
Geolocking targets educational environments and potential academic misuse specifically.
It does not reduce Vision 1 to a limited device whenever it is near a school. Features unrelated to AI-assisted schoolwork or examinations will keep working normally.
Outside designated educational areas, Vision 1 can be used as usual, including its regular AI capabilities and other everyday features.
Our aim is to build a system that tackles a specific problem without needlessly limiting the device's broader functionality.
Beta availability
Geolocking will first be rolled out as a beta in selected countries and regions.
Country / Region Sweden Spain United Arab Emirates — Dubai Finland Germany Belgium Poland
The supported list may change over the course of the beta as Yavqo keeps improving location coverage and accuracy.
A test running through the end of 2026
This release is deliberately being launched as a beta.
Through the end of 2026, Yavqo will assess how accurately Geolocking identifies schools and campuses, how reliably restrictions are enforced, and how well the feature performs under real-world conditions.
User feedback will also play a key part in the evaluation process.
Should the beta fail to meet our standards, cause significant problems, or not deliver the intended experience, Yavqo may modify, pause, or roll back the feature.
The beta period is currently set to run through December 2026, after which Yavqo will review the results and decide on the next steps.
Built with responsibility in mind
AI-powered hardware opens up new possibilities, but it also brings new responsibilities.
With Geolocking, we aim to explore a practical way to reduce the potential for AI-assisted cheating while keeping Vision 1 useful everywhere else.
This beta is an initial step, and we will keep learning from how the technology performs in real-world environments.
Yavqo Vision 1 Geolocking is now entering beta in the supported markets listed above.
