AI-optimized search engine designed specifically for LLM and agent workflows, returning pre-processed results ready for consumption. Best for agent research tasks where results need to be immediately usable without post-processing. Unlike general search APIs (Serper, Brave), Tavily formats results for AI comprehension and includes a separate content extraction endpoint for deep page reading. 2 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Tavily API docs for full documentation.Documentation Index
