Company profile
researched Aug 2026Tellia is a voice-first AI assistant aimed at agricultural field operations. Field workers, agronomists and farm managers report their work by placing a phone call or sending WhatsApp messages, voice notes or photos, and the system converts those inputs into structured records such as scouting reports, activity logs, tasks, inventory updates and purchase or maintenance orders. Users can define their own databases in plain language, and captured observations are organized in a shared workspace that advisors, managers and supervisors can search by block, date or team member. The company states the assistant operates without requiring a smartphone app or internet access for the field worker, since standard phone calls and chat messages suffice.
Beyond capture, the product answers agronomic questions (for example on pest thresholds, spray timing, crop stress and irrigation scheduling) using the customer's crop, region and conditions, and can be grounded in customer-uploaded technical sheets, spray protocols, training manuals and other internal knowledge bases. It generates scouting reports, irrigation logs and periodic summaries exportable as PDF or Word for sharing with managers, clients or auditors. Field boundaries can be imported or drawn so that observations, photos and notes are pinned to the correct block, and data is presented in table, map and calendar views. Multilingual and mixed-language conversation support (including code-switching between English, Spanish and French) is presented as a way to avoid information loss in mixed-language crews.
The site markets use cases across row-crop and orchard growers, wine/vineyard operations and livestock, and highlights regulatory-compliance logging of sprays and interventions. Onboarding includes dedicated sessions to configure the assistant on a customer's protocols and knowledge bases, plus an assigned Tellia advisor for ongoing support and data coaching. The company states farm data is not shared with third parties.
Founding story
Third-party listings give a founding year of 2025 with two co-founders: Coline Labadie de Faÿ (Co-Founder & CEO) and Vincent Trastour (Co-Founder & CTO). The company appears in the Entrepreneurs First portfolio. No further account of the founding is present in the sources.
Business model
Tellia sells a software assistant to agricultural operations; the website routes prospects through a "Get a demo" flow and describes dedicated onboarding sessions and an assigned advisor for each customer, indicating a managed B2B software deployment. No pricing or contract terms are disclosed in the available sources.
Traction
Public evidence of traction is limited to named testimonials on the company's own website from five practitioners in California (pest control advisors, a horticulturalist/agronomist and a vineyard manager). No customer counts, revenue or usage metrics are disclosed in the available sources.
Latest developments
The current website markets a live product with a demo request flow, a careers page and multiple product modules (agronomic Q&A, tasks and reminders, report generation, field mapping) plus vertical framings for growers, wine and livestock. No dated announcements appear in the sources.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positioned as a voice-first alternative to app- and form-based farm record keeping; the site contrasts its free-form scouting reports with "endless drop downs" in incumbent tools. Entrepreneurs First lists the company in its portfolio, and a voice AI directory categorizes it under vertical, industry, SMB and training segments.
Stated differentiators are hands-free capture over ordinary phone calls and WhatsApp with no app, screens or typing required (and, per a directory profile, no internet access needed for the field worker); user-defined databases specified in plain language; multilingual and mixed-language conversation handling; grounding of answers in the customer's own uploaded documents rather than generic models; automatic geolocation of observations to specific blocks; and a stated policy that farm data is not shared with third parties.
Technology
The platform combines speech and natural-language processing with structured data extraction: spoken or written input arriving via phone call, WhatsApp, voice note or photo is converted into database records, tasks and reports. It supports natural-language querying and summarization, image interpretation of crop symptoms, retrieval from customer-uploaded documents and knowledge bases so answers reflect the customer's own material, multilingual and mixed-language handling, geospatial pinning of observations to imported or drawn field boundaries, and table, map and calendar visualizations. The design deliberately avoids requiring a dedicated mobile app, screens or typing for field users.
Go-to-market
Inbound demo requests from the website, supported by a downloadable brochure and resources section, and social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X). Customer testimonials on the site come from pest control advisors, agronomists, horticulturalists and vineyard managers in California (Fresno, Bakersfield, Tulare, Paso Robles), suggesting early direct engagement with US West Coast specialty-crop operators. The company is also listed in third-party voice AI directories and in the Entrepreneurs First portfolio.
Agricultural field teams and the professionals who manage them: growers and farm managers, agronomists and pest control advisors, vineyard and wine operations, livestock operations, and crew supervisors and foremen. Compliance-driven users needing spray and intervention logs for auditors are also addressed.
