A Purple Orange Group venture

Purple Orange AI

Purple Orange AI builds production AI stacks for founder-led agencies.

AI Product Studio Founded Oct 2018 Chicago

The thesis

Most agency AI work stalls at the pilot.

A deck, a demo, a proof of concept that never reaches the work. Purple Orange AI builds the opposite: the AI infrastructure that runs inside your delivery, not another pilot, not another deck.

The differentiators are deliberate, production, not pilots; runtime-agnostic control planes; humans kept in the loop; and the same senior engineer across every tier. No junior handoff, no strategy slides.

What it is

The operator layer underneath your delivery.

“We architect, build, and ship the AI infrastructure that runs inside your delivery, not another pilot, not another deck. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, custom MCP servers, agent workflows, and the operator layer underneath that keeps it all running.”

Same senior engineer across every tier. No junior handoff, no strategy slides. Founding cohort open.

The stage

Live, and the flagship of the Group.

Purple Orange AI is live at purpleorange.ai, run as an insight-publishing front door, an insights index, media kit, and packages that convert to workflow-audit demand. Its known flagship: the Max Markovtsev “agentic automation expert” case study, published as a public reference point.

Inside the Group

How Purple Orange Group contributes.

Purple Orange Group’s studio workflow combines a shared knowledge base with AI-assisted drafts and human review. The focus is on work that can be inspected before it ships.

Capital

Patient, founder-funded

Support for developing the product and improving it over time.

Talent

Senior every tier

The same senior engineer across every tier, no junior handoff, plus shared creative direction across the house.

Infrastructure

Agentic operating system

A shared operating system and Second Brain, with fail-closed approval gates and Sentinel watchdogs guarding the flagship.

Distribution

Search-driven demand

Insight-publishing and evidence-first artifacts that become reference points in search and AI answers.

Traction

Metrics, coming.

Named results and usage metrics are being collected. In the meantime, the founding cohort is open, the fastest way to see the work is to visit the live site.
