Tako Search is a model-agnostic search tool that works with any model on AI Gateway, combining a curated knowledge graph with the live web to return source-grounded data cards, citations, and visualizations, and it requires no separate Tako account or API key. Developers can add gateway.tools.takoSearch() to the tools object in a generateText or streamText request so the model can call Tako when it needs external information.", "body_md": "[Tako Search](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/tako-search) is free exclusively on AI Gateway through September 30th.\n\nTako Search is a model-agnostic search tool that works with any model on AI Gateway. You can switch models while keeping the same search integration, without a separate Tako account or API key.\n\nTako Search combines its curated knowledge graph with the live web in one response, giving models source-grounded data cards, citations, and visualizations. You can search curated data, the live web, and narrow web results by domain and publication date.\n\nTo use it with the AI SDK, add `gateway.tools.takoSearch()` to the `tools` object in a `generateText` or `streamText` request. The model can call Tako when it needs external information. AI Gateway runs the search and returns the results to the model to inform its answer.\n\nTry Tako Search in the [AI Gateway playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/tako-search).
