Overview

What This Skill Does

Tavily Search is built specifically for AI agents. Unlike generic web browsing, Tavily returns AI-synthesized answers with source citations, structured content extraction, and relevance-ranked results. It includes five capabilities: tavily_search (fast web search), tavily_extract (pull structured content from URLs), tavily_crawl (crawl websites for data), tavily_map (map site structure), and tavily_research (multi-step research with synthesis). When you ask your agent to research a topic, debug an error, or find current pricing, Tavily returns structured, relevant results that the agent can reason about immediately.

Example workflow

Your research agent searches for competitor pricing updates every Monday morning, extracts structured data from their pricing pages, compares to your current data, and posts a formatted diff to your Notion workspace.
