Tertulia uses machine learning and AI to scan conversations on Twitter and articles to identify what books people are talking about, supplementing that with human curation. Users specify the kinds of books and the types of recommenders they want to hear from, and the app serves daily, personalized recommendations and a trending list. The team is building first on Twitter’s API with plans to extend its technology to other social platforms such as TikTok in the future. Tertulia has a strategic partnership with Ingram Content Group that lets users buy books directly in-app, with fulfillment handled by Ingram. The company reports average order values that skew up to 50% higher than the industry average, but the founder declined to share sales or user figures. The product is built by a 13-person engineering and data science team in Buenos Aires and is currently available on iOS.
