Tako

What is Tako?

Tako is an AI search engine that transforms natural language questions into rich, visual answers. Powered by structured data and advanced models, Tako generates interactive knowledge cards (comprised of charts, tables, maps, etc.) ideal for AI data visualization, research, and decision-making. You can either provide your own data, use Tako's index of authoritative, licensed data, or search the web for any other information you're looking for.

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.

Can I use my own private data for data analysis?

Yes. With Tako Connect, you can upload private datasets. Tako then acts like your AI data analyst, helping you explore, compare, and visualize insights from your own files quickly and securely.

How can developers integrate Tako into their applications?

Tako is built with developers in mind and offers several flexible integration options: • Knowledge Search API: Send natural language queries and receive structured JSON responses containing fully rendered knowledge cards. Ideal for embedding authoritative, trusted data into apps, dashboards, or LLM agents. • Tako Connect: Upload private datasets and use Tako to generate AI-powered visualizations directly from your or your customers' data. • SDKs: Use the official Python or TypeScript SDKs to simplify authentication, querying, and response handling. • Tako App Plugin: Instantly add Tako's visua

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
