Madrid-based Correcto bags €6.5 million seed to launch first real-time Spanish writing tool
Summary
They are further optimizing their proprietary artificial intelligence models with the aim of putting Spanish on the AI map. “As we were living and studying outside of Spain and struggling with our English writing skills and using online tools to assist us, my co-founder and I realized that such tools to help with Spanish communications did not exist,” said Ignacio Prieto Mayorgas, COO and co-founder, Correcto. This is especially urgent in the developing regions of LATAM, where literacy rates can be lower.” Correcto already has traction with more than 120,000 downloads from early adopters in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Spain, with users communicating in Spanish for professional, academic or social reasons. By providing explanations as well as corrections, Correcto helps these users—regardless of their education level—to learn from their mistakes and continually improve their writing skills. “Correcto signifies more than just grammar correction; it brings generative AI, cultural connection and opportunity to millions of users in LATAM.
