London-based startup developing Generative UX to transform how people interact with artificial intelligence through visual and structured interfaces.

Heywa Labs has secured $5m in a seed funding round led by Cherry Ventures, with participation from Openseeds, Pareto, Plug and Play, Ventures Together, and a group of angel investors. The capital will be directed towards accelerating product development, driving research, expanding the team across engineering, design, and growth, and supporting international expansion.

The London-based company is building Generative UX, an adaptive interaction layer designed to sit above models and data. Its flagship consumer application, Heywa, replaces traditional search links and text walls with interactive, tappable cards that adapt in real time to user intent.


From the founder

"People want information that is structured, visual, and interactive – yet AI interfaces went straight back to walls of text, at the cost of human experience"
