Tavily
When customers ask questions your training data cannot answer, your AI agent searches the live web through Tavily. Product comparisons, current pricing, breaking news, and competitor info surface instantly. Your agent never says 'I don't know' when the answer is online.
Tavily gives your AI agent the power to search the web mid-conversation, returning curated results, direct answers, and even raw page content on demand.

Discover how businesses use Tavily-powered AI agents to answer questions that static knowledge bases simply cannot handle.
A prospect asks how your product stacks up against a competitor's latest release. Your AI Agent uses Tavily to search for the competitor's current feature list and pricing, restricted to their official domain. It then compares the findings against your product data and presents a side-by-side breakdown. The prospect gets an honest, up-to-date comparison without your team manually tracking competitor changes.
A customer in financial services asks about the latest data privacy regulations affecting their industry. Your AI Agent performs an advanced-depth Tavily search filtered to government and legal domains, retrieves the most recent guidance, and summarizes the key points. The customer gets authoritative, current information. Your compliance team avoids fielding repetitive research requests.
A user reports an error message they have never seen before. Your AI Agent searches Tavily for that exact error string, filtering to your documentation site and developer forums. It pulls the raw content from the most relevant page, extracts the fix, and walks the user through the resolution. Support tickets for obscure issues drop significantly.

FAQs
The agent is configured to recognize when a question falls outside its training scope or requires current information. You can set rules for when Tavily search triggers, such as questions about competitors, pricing, recent events, or any topic where freshness matters. The agent decides contextually based on your configuration.
Basic search returns standard web results quickly using 1 API credit. Advanced search performs deeper crawling, visiting more pages and extracting richer content for 2 credits. Use basic for simple lookups and advanced when the question requires thorough, multi-source research.
Yes. Tavily supports include_domains to limit results to specific sites (like your documentation or trusted sources) and exclude_domains to block unreliable or irrelevant sites. Your agent only surfaces information from sources you trust.
No. Every search is performed live via Tavily's API during the conversation. This ensures customers always receive the most current information available. Results are not stored or reused across different chat sessions.
When enabled, Tavily synthesizes a direct answer from the top search results, similar to a featured snippet. The agent receives both the synthesized answer and the supporting search results, so it can provide a concise response while citing sources if needed.
The agent handles empty results gracefully. It may rephrase the search, broaden the query terms, or let the customer know that no relevant information was found online. It can then offer to connect them with a human agent for further assistance.
Yes. Tavily's include_raw_content parameter retrieves the unprocessed text from visited pages. The agent can extract specific sections, summarize lengthy articles, or find precise answers buried deep within a page, far beyond what a simple snippet provides.
Raw internet access returns noisy, unstructured HTML. Tavily is built specifically for AI agents. It returns clean, structured data optimized for language models, with relevance ranking, optional direct answers, and domain filtering. Your agent gets useful information, not web clutter.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
