Michael Conward Wants Anyone to Build an App by Describing a Problem
The Miami engineer behind MyLÚA Health built Henway, an AI app builder for people who aren’t technical, and took it through Black Ambition’s founder lab this fall.
Michael Conward, Ph.D., is an engineer in Miami, Florida, the CEO and co-founder of MyLÚA Health and the builder of Henway, an AI app builder for people who aren’t technical. This fall, Henway went through Black Ambition’s Fundable Founders Learning Lab.
A lab for Florida founders
Black Ambition, the founder program started by Pharrell Williams, ran the lab’s second year from August 18 to October 20. The virtual program is free for accepted Florida founders and works on pricing, pitches and raising money. JPMorganChase put $1 million behind it when it launched in 2025, and that first cohort drew more than 380 entrepreneurs.
Say what’s bugging you
Henway starts from the thing you keep working around: bookings rebuilt in a spreadsheet every Monday, an invoice retyped from last month, a client list living in a notes app. You describe it in plain words. Henway reads it back, tells you honestly what it can build, and about seven minutes later the app is working at its own link, ready to install on a phone, tablet or laptop.
The app keeps its data on your device, and Henway doesn’t train on what you type. Consultants can run it under their own brand, so a client’s team leaves a workshop with a working app for the job they described.
The day job
Conward trained as a mechanical engineer and spent more than ten years leading teams as a chief technology officer, director of product and founder. At MyLÚA, which went live this year with a South Florida doula agency, his platform checks in with mothers between their appointments and runs on IBM watsonx. Henway brings the same idea to everyday work: software that does the follow-through for you.
