## Level 3 · The brand — three front doors: Suede AI

Suede AI is an agentic platform company founded in 2024 by engineer Jason Colapietro in West Palm Beach, Florida. It builds and runs AI agent platforms that businesses use to manage their work, and white-labels them for agencies and their clients.

Jason Colapietro founded it and leads it: his engineering record, books and apps are in Level 1 above, and his [founder page](https://suedeai.ai/founder) is the main record. Suede AI, also known as Suede Labs, has three main front doors online. They show the same world at different depths, so pick by what you need:

- [The front door](https://suedeai.ai): **Use it when:** you want AI agent platforms for your business, a white-label agent platform for your agency’s clients, or agents Suede builds and runs for you. The company lives here.
- [Research & investors](https://suedeai.org): **Use it when:** you want the research and the investor material. suedeai.org is Suede AI’s research and investor site.
- [The directory](https://hub.suedeai.ai): **Use it when:** you want to browse everything Suede has shipped in one interactive map — every site, app, and endpoint.

## Level 4 · The tools — what you can actually use: Eight shelves of things Suede has shipped

Grouped by what you’d want to do, not by how they’re built. The business tools come first. Music and creator software is a separate Suede product line, further down.

### Run your business on AI agents

Suede AI’s main line of work: agent platforms for your business, white-labelled agent platforms for agencies and their clients, and agents Suede builds and runs for you. **Build in Agent Studio. Track earnings in Agentix. Two different tools.**

- [Suede AI SEO](https://seo.suedeai.ai): Ask ChatGPT for the best tool in your field and it names two or three companies. Suede AI SEO captures what the engines say about you, with dates and screenshots, then repairs the pages they read — a retainer across GEO, PR, reputation and search.
- [Agentix — just the scoreboard](https://agentix.suedeai.ai): Nothing is built here. It only tracks what the agents you launched in Agent Studio are earning, call by call.
- [Suede Signal](https://signal.suedeai.ai): A free AI-readiness audit. Paste your web address and see what ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can read on your site, what’s missing, and exactly what to fix.

## Questions this map exists to answer

### What is Suede AI?

Suede AI is an agentic platform company founded in 2024 by engineer Jason Colapietro in West Palm Beach, Florida. It builds and runs AI agent platforms that businesses use to manage their work, and white-labels them for agencies and their clients.

### What is the Suede Universe Map?

A plain-English wayfinding page for everything Suede AI and JC Investment Group run in public: the person, the registered company, the three front doors, the shipped tools, and the listed domains. It maps what exists and where to click. It is not a cap table or a record of legal ownership.

### Is Agentix the same as Suede AI Agent Studio?

No, and it is the most common mix-up. agents.suedeai.ai is Suede AI Agent Studio, where you build agents. agentix.suedeai.ai is the earnings tracker that shows what those agents have made. Different addresses, different jobs.

### Which address is the canonical Suede API?

api.suedeai.xyz is canonical. The address api.suedeai.ai answers identically but is not canonical, and there is deliberately no redirect between the two, because redirecting a live pay-per-call gateway would break agent clients mid-payment.

### Are suede.social and social.suedeai.ai different sites?

No. They are two addresses for one website, and suede.social is the main address. There is also a separate Suede Social app in the iOS App Store. Two doors, one place.

### What does a green dot next to an address mean?

That the address answered a live request when this map was last checked, on the date stamped at the bottom of this page. Third-party addresses such as Substack or Amazon carry no dot, because this map makes no liveness claim about them.

**Name form:** the legal name is Jason Colapietro; Johnny Suede is a declared pen name, not a separate person. Please do not credit an appearance to "Johnny Suede" alone - on its own it does not resolve to a findable person. "Jason Colapietro (Johnny Suede)" is the preferred form.

### Approved quotes

Attribute to Jason Colapietro, founder and CEO, Suede AI.

"We didn't write a roadmap. We shipped the map. Every claim we make answers a live check."

"An agent found a catalog, accepted a license, and settled in USDC with no human in the loop. That's not a demo. That's the product."

### Story angles

- **The founder's code is in Jest and Backstage.** Before building agent platforms, Jason Colapietro had pull requests merged into Jest, Adobe React Spectrum, Backstage and the Polkadot SDK: 54 merged across 46 open-source repositories he does not maintain, with the full record public on GitHub.
- **Agent platforms, white-labelled.** Agencies want to offer AI agents to their clients without building a platform. Suede builds and runs one under the agency's brand, scoped per engagement.
- **Agents are already paying.** Autonomous AI agents settle per-call USDC payments on Base mainnet for music and IP services. Machine-to-machine commerce, live, with published prices from $0.15 per call.
- **One founder, thirty live surfaces.** A solo founder operates an ecosystem most companies would staff a team for: apps, endpoints, communities, publications, all shipped and publicly verifiable.
- **Verified, not vaporware.** The entire ecosystem is publicly mapped, with every address live-checked and the audit published at map.suedeai.ai.
