Company profile
researched Sep 2026Tecde is a Colombian artificial intelligence company headquartered in Medellín that develops technology for digital agriculture. Its product, Harvis, is an AI-powered agricultural assistant that operates inside WhatsApp and provides 24/7 technical assistance to producers, cooperatives and agro-industrial firms across 17 countries in Latin America. The company frames its purpose around the roughly 285 million small and medium producers who supply about 30% of the world's food and who, by its account, face climate exposure, lack of access to credit, insurance and markets, and — in more than half of cases — no specialized technical advisory support.
Beyond conversational advisory, the company describes work combining generative AI, computer vision and WhatsApp infrastructure, and a separate positioning on a Latin American startup directory cites the use of artificial intelligence and edge computing to estimate harvest weight and quality for agro-industry in real time. Agronomic rigor of the recommendations delivered through Harvis is managed internally by the company's agronomy operation.
Tecde is registered as Tecde Inc. in the United States and also maintains the domains tecde.co and tecde.ai, with harvis.app used for the product.
