Why I Use It
I use Tavily in research agents that need live web data. It returns structured answers instead of just raw search results, which saves me from parsing HTML. The context inclusion means my agents get relevant background without making extra calls. It's more expensive than generic search APIs, but the time saved on parsing and cleaning data is worth it.
When I Recommend It to a Client
When their agents need to research or fact-check against current web content. Also when they want structured answers rather than raw search results.
