Indigo AI

What Indigo AI does

Indigo AI, Inc. is a US-incorporated, privately-held company founded in 2022 and headquartered in San Francisco. It builds HQ by Indigo, a desktop and CLI application that functions as a shared AI context layer for teams. HQ provides a persistent local-and-cloud workspace where team knowledge, skills, AI workers, policies, projects, and secrets are stored and synchronized via /hq-sync, while AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and chat surfaces (ChatGPT, Claude Chat) operate on top of that shared context via the Model Context Protocol. Technical capabilities in scope include skills-as-SKILL.md files, worker agents with identity and permissions, schema-driven encrypted secret injection, encrypted single-use file sharing (/hq-share), one-command web deploys, and a PRD-based project execution pipeline with back-pressure quality gates. Daily session hygiene is enforced through /startwork, /checkpoint, and /handoff commands.

The product is distributed free via signed macOS and Windows installers (v0.12.0, 2025) and the npx create-hq terminal bootstrap; paid tiers HQ Cloud (team sync) and HQ Pro (company designation and admin) are available with pricing available only through a sales-assisted 'Request Demo' flow on Calendly. Supporting assets include the 'Build Your Own AGI' book, the 15-chapter HQ Field Guide, and the HQ Wallpapers marketing pack. The customer logo list (~40 names) is dominated by small DTC and SaaS businesses (Ridge, Yumi, Privy, Look Optic, Sum Digital, etc.) with a small number of larger names (Adobe, Maximus, Savvy Wealth). Underlying infrastructure is assembled from third-party providers (AWS S3, MongoDB Atlas, Vercel, Stripe, Clerk, OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepgram, Recall.ai, Arcade.ai, Sentry, Customer.io, Resend). No funding rounds, headcount above 1-10 employees, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Partnerships

14 partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Recall.aicoreTechnology or IntegrationRecall.ai is used as a sub-processor for meeting recording and transcription functionality. Indigo's AI analyzes meeting content to extract decisions, action items, and key facts. Recall.ai handles the underlying recording and transcription pipeline, with Indigo applying AI extraction on top.
• OpenAIcoreTechnology or IntegrationOpenAI is used as a sub-processor for AI-powered meeting analysis and insights. Indigo uses OpenAI's large language models for extracting signals from meeting content, generating conversational AI features, and providing meeting summaries.
• AnthropiccoreTechnology or IntegrationAnthropic is used as a sub-processor for AI-powered meeting analysis and insights, alongside OpenAI. Anthropic's Claude models are used for extracting signals from meeting content and providing conversational AI features.
• DeepgramcoreTechnology or IntegrationDeepgram provides speech-to-text processing as a sub-processor. Used for converting meeting audio recordings into text transcripts that Indigo then analyzes with its LLM-based signal extraction pipeline.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS S3)coreTechnology or IntegrationAWS S3 is used for cloud storage of meeting recordings and files. Indigo stores all meeting audio, video, and associated artifacts in encrypted S3 buckets managed by AWS.
• Arcade.aicoreTechnology or IntegrationArcade.ai provides delegated OAuth and credential management for channel integrations. Used to manage OAuth flows for connecting third-party services (Google Calendar, Gmail, etc.) in a secure, delegated manner.
• ClerkcoreTechnology or IntegrationClerk provides user authentication and identity management. Handles user registration, login, account management, and authentication flows for the Indigo service.
• StripecoreTechnology or IntegrationStripe handles payment and subscription processing. Indigo does not directly store credit card information — all payment data is handled by Stripe. Stripe manages subscription billing cycles and payment collection.
• MongoDB AtlascoreTechnology or IntegrationMongoDB Atlas hosts Indigo's database infrastructure. All structured data — account records, meeting metadata, extracted signals, company configurations, and ACL grants — is stored on MongoDB Atlas with access controls and encryption.
• VercelcoreTechnology or IntegrationVercel provides application hosting and web analytics for Indigo's public-facing web properties (getindigo.ai, documentation, wallpapers, book landing pages). The marketing site and web applications are deployed on Vercel's edge network.
• Claude (Anthropic)coreTechnology or IntegrationClaude Code (Anthropic's AI coding agent) is a primary platform for running HQ. HQ is positioned as the shared context layer for teams using Claude Code. The /setup command wires up Claude Code, and HQ is explicitly designed to run within Claude Code sessions alongside Claude Max ($100/month).
• OpenAI Codex / ChatGPTcoreTechnology or IntegrationOpenAI Codex (the coding agent in ChatGPT) is a primary platform for running HQ alongside Claude Code. HQ also integrates with ChatGPT and Claude Chat via Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling cross-platform AI agent interoperability.
• Cursor IDEcoreTechnology or IntegrationCursor IDE is listed alongside Claude Code and Codex as an IDE where HQ runs. Cursor is an AI-first code editor, and HQ is positioned as the shared context layer for teams using Cursor as well.
• Google (OAuth/API Integrations)coreTechnology or IntegrationIndigo integrates with Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Contacts via OAuth. Scopes include restricted scopes (Gmail read-only, Drive read-only, Drive metadata), sensitive scopes (Docs, Contacts, Sheets, Calendar read-only), and non-sensitive scopes (Drive app data, OpenID, user profile).
