Branding, design & marketing content
A website is only half the job. We design the rest of the face that goes with it.
Logos & identity
A mark, a palette, and type that actually fit your business — not clip art.
A whole new face
Rebrands from the ground up: the look, the voice, the way you show up everywhere.
Marketing content
Launch material, social assets, and content that matches the brand we built you.
Any system · any department · one hub
Backend integrations
Enter it once. It shows up everywhere.
Most businesses run on systems that don't talk: orders retyped from one screen into another, spreadsheets bridging the gaps, numbers that never quite match. We connect every system to one hub — Shopify, QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, or the ERP you've run for twenty years — so every department sees the same numbers and the double entry stops.
- We run syncs like this in production today — thousands of records, zero retyping
- Works with the systems you already own; nothing gets ripped out
- Runs quietly in the background and tells us when something looks wrong
Shop Assistant
Trained on your catalog · Online
Modeled on a live assistant we run — trained on 4,600+ catalog entries
AI chat assistants
An assistant that knows your business
Not a generic chatbot — an assistant trained on your inventory, your catalogs, your drawings, and your FAQs. It answers like your best employee, around the clock, for customers or your own team.
- Cites real part numbers straight from your catalog — no made-up answers
- Reads your drawings — points people at the exact figure and callout
- Runs multi-step tasks: checks stock, files the PO, sends the email
- Customer-facing on your site, or internal for your service desk
Lumen · Production monitoring
Real-time part counts from every machine on your floor.
Lumen, our vision system, sees every part that comes off a machine — no sensors wired into your equipment, no operator data entry. Just a camera, a small AI computer, and numbers you can finally trust. Counting parts on a conveyor, metering flow through a pipe, flagging defects at a weld cell — if a camera can see it, Lumen can measure it.
- A camera and a small AI computer mount at each machine
- It counts parts, tracks pace, and meters flow in real time
- Stalls, slowdowns, and defects get flagged the moment they start
- Live dashboards run on TVs right on the floor

The story
Built from curiosity. Made for real problems.
Moth & Machine takes its name from one of computing's earliest legends: a moth found inside the Harvard Mark II, famously recorded as the “first actual case of a bug being found.”
That mix of human ingenuity and technology felt fitting for us.
We're two brothers and a longtime friend who started Moth & Machine to help businesses solve problems with custom-built digital solutions. That can mean internal software, production and workflow tools, dashboards, automation, websites, branding, or something that doesn't fit neatly into an existing category.
Different problems call for different tools. We're here to build the right one.
