Technology with cultural sensitivity.
We build software that takes on the mechanical workload so that the people involved in publishing can reclaim what matters most: time to create, think and decide.
The bridge between craft and the future
We are developing our ecosystem because we believe that artificial intelligence should not replace talent, but provide an invisible infrastructure that strengthens the capabilities of the people who bring books to life.
Our Founding Principles
Five key principles that define our approach to technology ethics.
People first, always
Technology does not replace authors, editors, librarians, booksellers or distributors. It empowers them. Control, judgment and the final say always remain theirs.
We know the craft
We respect book culture and its ecosystem. Our tools speak the language of each profession, not the language of software
Imagination over automation
We measure success not in completed tasks, but in creative space reclaimed. We are useful when using our tools helps someone think and create better.
Transparency (explainable AI) and regulatory compliance
Everything we build can be explained, and we develop our solutions in accordance with current data protection and artificial intelligence regulations (GDPR, LOPDGDD and the EU AI Act), ensuring safe, reliable and lawful use.
Quality without compromise
We work by the same principle that defines the publishing industry: like a good editor, we release nothing unless it meets the standard. Our ecosystem does not automate decisions; it ensures that every work retains its standard of excellence.
The minds
behind the engine
Behind the platforms, orchestrators and agents are our founding partners: professionals with more than 20 years of experience in engineering, publishing and culture. Alongside them, a multidisciplinary team of AI engineers, developers, editors and linguists works to put the most advanced engineering at the service of words and culture.
Our head office is in Madrid, Spain, and we work in a hybrid model, with a team distributed across different locations. This helps us better understand the diversity of the contexts in which we operate.

Publishing intelligence starts here
Artificial intelligence opens up a new way of working in the world of books. It does not replace editorial judgment; it expands its reach and makes room for what no machine can do: imagine, think, create and decide.
