Where Invention Evolves into Human Joy

Applied Science for Human Flourishing

Curiosity Meets Craft

Conway Labs is where curiosity meets craft — advancing the world's most inspiring ideas into tangible systems that make human life more joyful, autonomous, and alive. We bridge the gap between frontier research and real-world impact, pushing already dope innovations forward with rigor and a sense of play.

Our Guiding Values

The principles that drive our experiments and our culture.

Joyful Rigor

We approach serious science with a sense of play and purpose.

Autonomous Excellence

We empower systems — and people — to operate with clarity and self-direction.

Integration over Isolation

Innovation happens between disciplines, not within silos.

Transparency of Thought

We document, share, and collaborate openly to amplify progress.

Applied Benevolence

Every experiment aims toward human flourishing.

Our Roadmap

Visionary but grounded goals for the near-term, mid-term, and our moonshot.

Near-Term (6-12 mo)

  • Publish lab notes and datasets on Hugging Face
  • Launch Applied Science Portal with project showcases
  • Release 3 "micro-discoveries" (e.g., small ML tools)

Mid-Term (1-3 yrs)

  • Create an open applied research fellowship
  • Develop a joy-oriented model evaluation framework
  • Partner with mission-aligned orgs for joint research

Moonshot (3-10 yrs)

  • Build a privacy-first, on-device intelligence ecosystem
  • Establish Conway Labs as a globally recognized independent applied science institute
