Why Tako?

Traditional search APIs return a ranked list of links. But here’s where it breaks for agents: a search result is just a link. The agent still has to crawl it, parse it, pray the number is current, and hope it didn’t hallucinate the rest. We don’t think the future of development is agents reading webpages faster. It’s agents getting structured, real-time data pulled directly from the source.
Structured data has a defined shape — typed fields, values, and units (think rows and columns, or JSON), each with named sources attached, so your model can read it directly. Unstructured data is the opposite: raw web pages and text your model has to crawl, parse, and interpret before it can trust a single number.
That’s Tako: a real-time knowledge API. Ask a question and get a synthesized, source-attributed answer — or dispatch a deep-research agent — all grounded in structured knowledge cards: typed data, named sources, and methodology, pulled straight from trusted providers across finance, macroeconomics, geopolitics, sports, and weather. Your model gets the data directly — far more compact than crawling pages. And where structured data isn’t the right fit, Tako covers the live web for you too, made agent-ready: web search results in Search, blended into the synthesized Answer, and full extracted page contents through Contents — so you get broad, accurate coverage without ever crawling a page yourself.

Takocurated data + live web

One knowledge card — live win probabilities with their named source and methodology. Your agent reads the values directly, or embeds the chart as-is.

Your agent still has to open each link, parse the page, reconcile numbers that disagree, and hope they’re current — every step is glue code you write, run, and spend tokens on.

How Tako works

Trusted knowledge, directly indexed

Tako pulls from high-quality, structured data across domains like finance, macroeconomics, geopolitics, sports, and weather. Much of this data changes frequently and isn’t easily accessible via traditional crawling. We go straight to the source

Knowledge cards, interactive and shareable

Our search results come in the form of knowledge cards - visual, interactive representations of retrieved data. Each card is generated based on the semantic meaning of your prompt and built to be effortlessly embedded in stories, apps, or workflows.

Search, reimagined for analysts and agents

Tako delivers relevant knowledge cards in response to natural language queries - ideal for deep questions and dynamic use cases. You can embed our engine directly in your application to make real-time, trusted data instantly accessible for your users.
