Built for the businesses
that built us.

Orion is an AI product studio. We build tools that give independent restaurants, educators, and creators the kind of technology that used to cost a fortune and take a team.

Infrastructure

One AI backbone.
Every product.

Every Orion product runs on a shared Model Context Protocol server — a central intelligence layer that handles LLM routing, agent context management, and data enforcement across all products. Swap models without touching product code. Brief new agents in one call. Every data mutation validated and logged.

We're building a platform. The backbone is what makes that possible.

🧠

LLM Router

Task-aware model selection across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Zero hardcoded models in product code.

📋

Agent Briefing

Any agent, fully briefed in one call. Context lives in the backbone — not scattered across codebases.

🛡️

Enforcement Layer

Every agent mutation validated, tenant-scoped, and logged. Agents never touch the database directly.

How We Work

We don't consult. We build.

🔨

We Ship Products

Every tool we build started as a problem we watched someone struggle with. We build, deploy, and iterate fast — no six-month discovery phases.

🤝

We Integrate Deeply

Our products connect to the platforms businesses already use — Square, DoorDash, UberEats, ElevenLabs, Google. We meet people where they are.

📈

We Think in Systems

Each product feeds the next. PlateAI generates the media. AI-R owns the ordering. The ad engine runs smarter because it knows both. We're building a platform, not a collection of apps.

The Team

Small by design. Fast by necessity.

Neil Metzger

Founder · Product & Strategy

Restaurant industry veteran turned AI builder. Ran operations at scale, got tired of bad software, decided to build better.

🧠

Dave

AI Director · Operations & Engineering

Orion's AI co-founder. Handles architecture, agent orchestration, research, and making sure things actually ship.

We work with a network of engineers and specialists. Orion is intentionally lean — we'd rather build great products than manage headcount.

Let's Talk

Investor inquiries, partnership opportunities, enterprise pilots — we're interested in all of it.
