What We're Capable Of
SPAWN.LONDON is a London-based, AI-accelerated software agency. We build custom software and apps, provide AI consultancy, transformation and training, commercially recover distressed projects and startups, reverse engineer legacy hardware and code, and design custom AI and secure systems — from board-level strategy down to bit-level engineering.
Software & App Development
From bespoke SaaS replacements to funded startup POCs and MVPs - cloud-native architectures engineered to grow from first release to millions of users.
What We Build
- Custom software - bespoke systems that replace off-the-shelf SaaS and spreadsheet sprawl.
- POCs & MVPs - proof-of-concept and minimum viable product delivery for funded startups.
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms - complete products with billing, subscriptions and role-based access.
- Web platforms & portals - consumer and business web applications, e-commerce and payments.
- APIs & integrations - REST APIs, Stripe, webhooks and third-party system integration.
How We Build It
- Cloud-native & auto-scaling - Microsoft Azure serverless and containerised architectures.
- AI-accelerated delivery - production-ready code at pace, with human-controlled architecture, security, review and testing.
- Specification-led - requirements engineering, user stories, target architecture and delivery roadmaps.
- Secure by design - authentication, MFA, role-based access, tenant isolation and audit trails.
- Ongoing maintenance - monitoring, support and growth built in from day one.
Rapid Prototyping
From idea to working prototype in days, not quarters - de-risking the decision before you commit serious budget.
Proof of Concept, Fast
AI-accelerated development under human-governed architecture, security and review — the core of our ForgeBOS platform (subscriptions, billing and CRM) reached functional first release in around a week.
Hardware & Embedded Prototypes
Not just software: Raspberry Pi rigs, custom circuit boards and security-aware protocols — like the working TorriWallet prototype demonstrating autonomous cryptographic transaction signing.
Specification-Led, Production-Ready Path
Requirements and acceptance outcomes defined up front, so the prototype answers a real commercial question — and a clear route from prototype to production when the answer is yes.
AI Consultancy, Transformation & Training
Identifying where AI genuinely pays - in your apps, manufacturing or automation - then specifying, delivering and maintaining it.
AI App Expansion
We review your existing applications and identify ways to expand them with AI enhancements — assistants, RAG-grounded search, intelligent automation and agentic workflows — then build and maintain them.
AI Transformation
Discovery workshops and use-case prioritisation across apps, manufacturing and automation. We decide where AI is appropriate — respecting ISO standards, security and client confidentiality — then move initiatives from uncertainty to robust, governed delivery.
Consultancy & Training
Speaker talks and workplace AI training. We scope and analyse what your teams currently do, identify appropriate AI, recommend changes to the board or management, then help implement them — providing the systems and the training to make them stick.
Distressed Project & Startup Recovery
Commercially recovering projects before it's too late - with a clear-eyed view of remaining budget, targets and stakeholder expectations.
Distressed Projects
We analyse the existing codebase, establish what genuinely works, then either strengthen your team or propose taking over delivery outright — recovery planned around the project's real commercial position, not an idealised restart.
Distressed Startups
When a startup's product or engineering has run off course — burn outpacing progress, roadmap drifting from the market — we refocus the build on what investors and customers actually need, within the runway that remains.
Legacy Hardware & Code
Old systems, old code, no documentation? We reverse engineer legacy hardware and software for automation and system control — tracing legacy code, reconciling behaviour against original specifications and performing oscilloscope-led, bit-level diagnostics.
Custom AI & Secure Systems
AI and secure systems engineered around your data staying where it belongs.
Private On-Prem AI
Local multimodal models, RAG and model orchestration running on hardware you control — sensitive designs and data never leave the building. Proven daily in our own Spawn AI Labs.
Hybrid Autonomous Systems
Hybrid on-prem / online architectures where local intelligence acts on the web within controlled, defined boundaries — automation and online interaction without surrendering control.
Secure Hardware & Cryptographic Systems
Custom circuit boards, isolated architectures and security-aware protocols — including a galvanically isolated cryptographic signing architecture with a patent application filed, and real-time broadcast and automation control systems.
The Spawn AI Laboratory
Our own on-premises AI laboratory: develop secure software and analyse confidential data entirely offline - your data never touches the internet.
The lab runs a range of local models and can hold your confidential material in a private RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) setup: your documents, drawings and data are indexed privately so the AI answers are grounded in your material — without that material ever training a public model, being shared with a third party, or leaving the lab. Ideal for commercial-in-confidence work, defence and security, reverse engineering legacy systems, and modern computation or AI-assisted software writing.
Offline Core
Our standard laboratory machines are air-gapped — they never connect to the internet. Models run entirely locally, so analysis, generation and computation happen on hardware with no route out.
Internet-Isolated Machines
Where a task genuinely needs the web — research, package retrieval, external services — separate machines handle it. They can connect to the internet but remain physically disconnected from the systems holding your data.
Built for You, Then Wiped
For the most sensitive engagements we commission machines specifically for your project and securely wipe them when it completes — we retain none of your client data afterwards.
Or Built at Your Premises
Prefer it never leaves your building at all? We design, build and commission the same laboratory setup on your site — then train your team to run it, with ongoing support if you want it.
Technology We Work With
Hands-on across the full stack - chosen per project, never by fashion.
Software & Cloud
JavaScript, Node.js, React, PHP, Python, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft Azure Functions & serverless, Stripe & webhooks, Linux, Docker, Proxmox, Nginx, Git.
AI, Hardware & Assurance
Hosted and local LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows, multimodal systems, prompt and workflow engineering, human-in-the-loop controls — alongside Raspberry Pi, custom PCBs, protocol design, oscilloscope-led diagnostics and ISO/IEC 27001 & 42001-informed governance.

Yes. AI app expansion is a core service: we review your existing application, identify high-value AI enhancements such as assistants, automation, RAG-grounded search and intelligent workflows, then specify, build and maintain them - keeping architecture, security and code quality under human control.
How quickly can SPAWN.LONDON build a prototype?
Working proof-of-concept software can be delivered in days to weeks. The core of our ForgeBOS platform - subscriptions, billing and CRM - reached functional first release in around a week, using AI-accelerated development with architecture, security and code review under human control. We also build hardware and embedded prototypes, from Raspberry Pi rigs to custom circuit boards.
Does SPAWN.LONDON provide AI training and talks?
Yes. We speak at events and in the workplace, and deliver AI training programmes. Engagements start with a scope and analysis of what your teams currently do, identify appropriate uses of AI respecting ISO standards, security and client confidentiality, present recommendations to the board or management, and then help implement the changes including the systems and training required.
Can SPAWN.LONDON recover a failing software project?
Yes. Distressed project recovery is a specialism: we analyse the existing codebase, then either work alongside your team or propose taking over delivery, always with a clear view of remaining budget, targets and stakeholder expectations. We also recover distressed startups whose product or engineering has run off course.
Can SPAWN.LONDON work with legacy hardware and old code?
Yes. We reverse engineer legacy systems for automation and system control - reading and tracing legacy code, reconciling behaviour against original specifications, and performing oscilloscope-led, bit-level diagnostics where needed, as demonstrated in our Safran aerospace test-equipment recovery.
Does SPAWN.LONDON build on-premises AI systems?
Yes. We design and build private on-premises AI and hybrid autonomous on-prem / online systems, where models run on hardware you control and sensitive data never leaves the building - with RAG, model orchestration and controlled online interaction where reach is needed.
What is the SPAWN.LONDON on-premises AI laboratory?
The Spawn AI Laboratory is our own on-premises facility for developing secure software and analysing data with AI entirely offline - nothing ever touches the internet. It runs a range of local models and can hold your confidential data in a private RAG setup. The lab operates in tiers: air-gapped offline machines; separate internet-capable machines that are physically disconnected from your data; and machines built specifically for your project and securely wiped afterwards, so we retain none of your data. We can also build the same setup at your premises and train your team to run it.
Can SPAWN.LONDON analyse confidential or defence data with AI without it going online?
Yes. Our offline on-premises AI laboratory is designed for exactly this: commercial-in-confidence work, defence and security material, reverse engineering of legacy systems, and modern computation or AI-assisted software writing - all processed locally on machines that never connect to the internet, with project machines wiped after completion.
