Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tako?
Tako is an answer engine API for authoritative data. It grounds AI applications and agents on a curated index of authoritative, licensed data — plus the web — and returns cited, structured answers as knowledge cards (charts, tables, maps) and JSON, via its search, answer, and contents APIs.
How is Tako different from a traditional search engine or chatbot?
Unlike generic search engines or AI chatbots that return paragraphs of unstructured text, Tako focuses on AI data visualization. It builds visually compelling, structured knowledge cards that cite their sources and are embeddable anywhere. It's like having an AI data analyst that turns your questions into beautiful, trustworthy insights.
How can developers integrate Tako into their applications?
Tako is built for developers and ships a family of APIs you can call directly or through the official SDKs:
• Search API: Natural language in, structured knowledge cards (charts, tables, maps) out — grounded in our curated index of data and the web.
• Answer API: Direct, cited answers to natural-language questions.
• Contents API: The data backing our answers plus clean, full-page contents from the web, optimized for LLMs.
• Agent API: Asynchronous agents for deep research and enrichment.
• SDKs: The official Python (and TypeScript) SDKs handle authentication, requests, and response parsing.
How does Tako ensure data accuracy and credibility?
Tako uses reliable, structured, citable data so you're not guessing whether the information is correct. Tako knowledge cards are built for clarity, transparency, and trust. Each card includes:
• Clear sources so you know where the data came from
• Timestamps to show how recent the data is
• Methodology notes that explain how the data was calculated, when applicable
