Talk is cheap. Anyone can claim innovation, but not everyone has the track record to back it up. At Livly, we don’t just talk about what’s possible—we do it. While others are just now claiming to revolutionize resident experience, we’ve been delivering it since 2018. Let’s take a look at what’s already in the rearview mirror.

Innovation Is Only New If You Haven’t Done It Yet

Some companies make big claims about reimagining multifamily living. We don’t have to. We’ve been doing it for years. The truth is, what others are now marketing as cutting-edge, we were already building and patenting years ago.

2019: The Patent That Paved the Way

Our vision for seamless resident access was never just an idea—it became reality. In 2019, we filed a patent for "Automatic Distribution of Access Control Credentials Based on a Task" (Patent #11,610,445). Approved in 2023, this wasn’t just a legal formality; it was a game-changing innovation that redefined how residents move through their communities. While some are still figuring out smart access, we set the standard years ago.

2019: Smart Access Wasn’t Just a Buzzword—It Was Our Blueprint

‍

When my CTO and I flew to Sweden in 2019 to work directly with Assa Abloy, we weren’t just exploring possibilities—we were embedding smart locks natively into our app. It wasn’t about adding a feature. It was about fundamentally transforming the resident experience, making security and convenience seamless.

The Difference? We’ve Already Done It.

Some companies love to talk. We prefer to execute. While others are busy marketing what they plan to do, we’ve already built, patented, and deployed the future of resident living. The challenge isn’t in making claims—it’s in doing the work to deliver on them.

‍

We could spend all day talking about what we’ve already done, but what really matters is what’s next. While others catch up to the past, we’re already building the future. Stay tuned.
