# Lived Labs

> An AI-powered invention studio and community built to make invention more practical, accessible, and culturally relevant. Founded by Jessica O. Matthews.

Lived Labs was founded by Jessica O. Matthews — inventor of the SOCCKET and a Smithsonian-recognized modern-day inventor — to lower the barriers to invention for people whose lived experience is their most valuable asset. The company is building two things in parallel: a Studio (an AI-powered, end-to-end workflow that takes you from first thought to finished invention) and a Community (where inventors connect virtually and in person to ask honest questions, share real progress, and support each other). The tagline is "Innovation for the rest of us."
