TAGULA: Israeli Artificial Intelligence with International Ambitions and a Remarkable Experience in Colombia
By Gastón Saidman
With innovative technology, Israeli company TAGULA managed to establish and bring an emergency information center into operation in just 14 hours, supporting rescue teams following the earthquake in Cali, Colombia.
TAGULA is an Israeli company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions through intelligent agents designed to work directly within organizations, integrating with the systems and tools they already use, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and other communication and management platforms.
Unlike many AI solutions that are mainly designed to answer questions, TAGULA’s agents can carry out practical tasks, organize information, conduct research, generate reports, coordinate teams and monitor ongoing operations.
One of the most compelling examples of the company’s technology was its work in Colombia following the earthquake in Cali. On that occasion, TAGULA remotely developed and deployed an emergency information center that became operational in just 14 hours.
The system made it possible to gather information from multiple sources, identify duplicate reports, assess the reliability of incoming data and organize critical information for rescue teams. It also supported the identification of affected areas through heat maps and aerial imagery, the tracking of missing persons, the identification of shelters and the coordination between teams working on the ground and those managing operations remotely.
This experience demonstrated the potential of TAGULA’s technology in complex and demanding situations, where rapid response, reliable information and effective coordination between different teams are essential.
However, the company’s work goes well beyond emergency response. Its solutions also cover media and journalism, recruitment and human resources, business management, construction and government institutions. Its platform enables organizations to automate processes and adapt AI tools to their specific operational needs.
As part of its international expansion strategy, TAGULA is exploring business opportunities across Latin America, particularly in Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia, where there is potential for cooperation with private companies, public institutions and government agencies.
In this process, CIDIP – Diplomatic Information Center will play a key role in promoting institutional cooperation, facilitating strategic connections and helping create new business and investment opportunities. Among the initiatives being considered is the presentation of TAGULA to potential investors connected to international business groups, including contacts in Europe and Bahrain.
The strategy also includes offering pilot projects that will allow companies and institutions to experience the platform’s capabilities firsthand before moving forward with larger-scale implementations.
The experience in Colombia provides an important reference point as TAGULA seeks to bring Israeli technology into new international markets. The broader objective is to connect Israeli innovation with the real needs of Latin America, building partnerships, attracting investment and developing projects that harness the potential of artificial intelligence across different sectors.
