What it does
Tavily is a web intelligence API built specifically for AI agents and RAG pipelines. Unlike general search APIs that return links for a human to click, Tavily returns ranked, pre-processed content ready for direct injection into an LLM’s context window. It provides multiple specialized endpoints covering search, extraction, crawling, site mapping, and multi-step research.
