Coliloquy developed its software through Amazon's Kindle data developer program, which allows outside companies to create interactive content for Kindle. Their proprietary data platform draws on complex algorithms, similar to gaming software, that lets readers choose from different narrative pathways.

基拉·斯耐德(Kira Snyder)的青少年悬疑系列小说《Parish Mail》的故事背景设在新奥尔良，读者可以决定书中的少年主角是利用魔法破案还是与一位警探十几岁的儿子一同联手破案。琳达·威斯德姆(Linda Wisdom)与琳达·司各特(Lynda K. Scott)合写的情色爱情系列小说《大逃亡》(Great Escapes)的读者可以决定主人公的外貌和爱情场景的炽热程度。Coliloquy最近一份报告显示，《大逃亡》读者心目中理想的主人公应该是高个子、黑头发和绿眼睛，体格要强壮结实，还应该有适度数量但不应过多的胸毛。

The company hired six editors and five technology and product developers and began recruiting authors from a range of genres, including romance, nonfiction, young adult fantasy and erotica. Since launching this past January, the company has released eight titles, and is expanding into crime fiction, legal thrillers and experimental fiction. Mr. Lue and Ms. Rutherford declined to provide sales figures for Coliloquy's titles, citing a nondisclosure agreement with Amazon. But they say more than 90% of readers who buy Colloquy's books, which range from $2.99 to $7.99, finish reading them, and 67% reread the books.
