Marlow Systems — owned hardware · AI-native systems · Bitcoin & Lightning

A vertically-integrated software house running a portfolio of AI-native platforms on hardware we own — with Bitcoin & Lightning as a first-class payment rail.

We design, build, and operate production systems across legal, beauty & POS, payroll, education, pharmacovigilance, and fintech. Every project shares one battle-tested blueprint and one shared inference path. Routing, GDPR, auth, and observability are wired in on day one — so when a new product idea lands, it ships in a week, not a quarter.

What you see below is a recorded mirror of what each platform does — synthetic personas, canned prompts, zero customer data. Live operational state lives behind sign-in.

Each card replays a synthetic transcript token-by-token — deterministic, zero inference cost, never wired to production data. Internal AI calls inside our stack are attributed via per-project headers so we can see exactly which feature spent which tokens — but those numbers stay behind sign-in.

Architecture

Top-down, all on owned hardware. Five layers, every one observable, none of them rented.

  1. Internet

    Redundant ISPs with automatic failover. Public traffic enters only via Cloudflare Zero-Trust tunnels — no open ports, no exposed admin surface.

  2. Edge

    Hardened gateway with key-only SSH and LAN-only management. On-disk firewall rules, persistence across reboots, separately-segmented VLANs for client compute, IoT, and admin traffic.

  3. Switch

    Managed L3 switch with SFP+ uplinks. Per-port telemetry, MAC-pinned mappings, observable link state for every fleet member.

  4. Power

    Smart PDU with per-outlet relay control and live wattage telemetry. Hard power-cycle as a recovery primitive when a kernel hangs.

  5. Compute

    Apple Silicon plus AMD Strix Halo workstations carry the heavy inference; an always-on small board carries the agentic tasks. Every host pushes telemetry on a per-stream cadence; encrypted nightly backups land in two destinations with sha256 restore-test verification on every artifact.

Live rack view (link state, per-host telemetry, reboot actions, editable PDU outlet mapping) is available to authenticated operators at /dashboard.

The blueprint

Every project on Marlow Systems follows the same recipe: Next.js App Router on the front, Postgres on the back, NextAuth for session, Tailwind + shadcn/ui, pnpm, and Docker Compose. AI requests never go straight to a backend — they all go through our shared inference proxy with per-project attribution headers, so every internal AI call is accounted for. GDPR (consent, export, deletion) is wired in on day one. Privacy and terms pages are public. The full document and operator runbook are available inside the dashboard once you sign in.
