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 three services. They work independently or together, depending on where you are in your AI journey.
AI services for Irish businesses typically include consulting and readiness assessment, custom software development, and data analytics. Deep Purple offers all three — with transparent pricing, government grant navigation, and senior-only delivery. Every engagement is led by the people who do the work.
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.
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.
When the right solution is a purpose-built system, we design and deliver it. Deep Purple builds custom AI software — from quoting engines and document automation to predictive analytics, conversational AI, and agentic workflows.
Senior engineers only. Projects typically €25,000 to €120,000. Government grants can reduce this by up to 50% for eligible businesses.
Turn production data into predictions and decisions. We analyse your historical data using statistical methods and machine learning to identify patterns, build predictive models, and deliver working tools your team can use.
Fixed-price engagements from €15,000. Predictive quality, yield optimisation, demand forecasting. Grant funding available for eligible businesses.
Custom computer vision and machine vision software for construction, drone inspection, telecoms, manufacturing, and field operations. We build the software that turns cameras into intelligent measurement, inspection, and quality control tools.
Feasibility from €3,000. Full production systems €30,000–€120,000. Government grants can cover 50–80% for eligible businesses.

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 — led by Barry Gough with a team of experienced ML engineers and applied statisticians.
