Practical AI consulting to identify the right opportunities. Custom AI software to build the systems. For established Irish businesses with 10 or more employees.
We offer two core services — and a growing data analytics practice. They work independently or together, depending on where you are in your AI journey.
Deep Purple provides AI services for Irish businesses — from consulting and opportunity assessment through to custom software development, data analytics, and ongoing advisory. We help established companies identify where AI can reduce costs, increase capacity, and improve decision-making, then build the systems to make it happen.
Not sure where AI fits in your business? Start here. We work with your team to understand your operations, map your workflows, and co-author a prioritised roadmap of AI and automation opportunities — each with estimated ROI, feasibility, and implementation options. The right answer might be custom software, workflow automation, off-the-shelf tools, a hybrid approach, or a recommendation to fix data and processes before investing in technology.
Engagements scale to your business — from a focused 2-3 week Discovery workshop to a comprehensive multi-department assessment. Typically €3,000 to €15,000. Government grants can reduce this significantly for eligible businesses. The assessment stands alone — there is no obligation to proceed.
When the right solution is a purpose-built system, we design and deliver it. Deep Purple builds custom AI software for Irish businesses — from quoting engines and document automation to predictive analytics, conversational AI on your proprietary data, agentic workflows, and machine learning models that learn from your operations.
Every project is delivered by senior engineers — no junior developers, no outsourcing. Projects typically range from €25,000 to €120,000 depending on scope. Government grants can reduce this by up to 50% for eligible businesses. Most clients start with a Discovery assessment to scope the project before committing to a build.
Most of our clients start the same way: with a conversation.
Or if you'd rather just talk — book a call directly.
Every service we offer is available with or without grant funding. If you qualify for a grant, it reduces the cost significantly. If you prefer to move quickly without a grant application, we can start immediately. Either way, the service, the team, and the deliverables are the same.
For eligible businesses, government grants typically cover 50–80% of the cost. We help you navigate the grant landscape and handle the technical documentation for applications.

Not eligible for a grant, or prefer not to wait? Many of our clients choose to self-fund because they want to start sooner. The Discovery assessment is €5,000. Custom AI builds range from €25,000 to €120,000 depending on scope. No grant paperwork, no approval timeline — just a conversation and a start date.
We have delivered AI systems and consulting for businesses across engineering services, building services, manufacturing, food production, construction, professional services, logistics, medtech, retail, pharma, and media. The specific industry matters less than the problem: if your team is spending time on repetitive processes that could be structured, measured, or automated, AI can probably help.
We also deliver predictive modelling and data analytics projects — from quality prediction and demand forecasting to operational analytics — through a partnership with PhD-level data scientists. A dedicated Data Analytics service page is launching soon.
