Tavily collects $ 25 million to deliver artificial intelligence agents to the web

In many industries, companies carry out artificial intelligence agents for internal use, and automate a wide range of tasks.

In the financial sector, artificial intelligence agents are decisive to detect fraud. They can analyze huge amounts of transactions in actual time. Meanwhile, sales institutions use artificial intelligence agents to collect data for potential customers. Artificial intelligence sales agents can search on the web and social media for information.

To be effective, these agents need to access the Internet and find information from relevant sources, all during the company’s policies and reflect how the human researcher works.

Delivery of an agent directly to a large language model such as ChatGPT without company guarantees can lead to very inappropriate results.

“Governance, risks and compliance with the institution is very important now, and if only I left, it will be the wild West,” said George Matthew, the administrative director of Insight Partners.

For this reason, Insight Partners led a $ 20 million chain in TafliStartup that connects artificial intelligence agents to the web in a manner compatible with the company’s policies. Investment reaches a total of one year’s TV financing, one year of $ 25 million.

Tavily was founded last year by the ROTEM Weiss scientist, as an open source project that was established in 2023 called GPT researcher. Weiss told Techcrunch that the consumer’s project to bring web data actually before Chatgpt is connected to the Internet. “I have gone very virus, and soon we got nearly 20,000 Jetb.”

Wees Tavily launched after Chatgpt and other LLMS that presented the web search. Unlike GPT researcher, Tavily focuses on institution agents. It provides a set of tools for companies such as Groq, Cohere, Mongodb and the writer, allowing their agents to search and crawl and extract organized visions from public and private sources.

Although most of the artificial intelligence agents have not yet been connected to the Internet, the goal of Weiss says that the goal of Tavily is on the next billion on the web.

Tavily is not the only emerging company that provides search tools for artificial intelligence agents. He competes with ExaWhich raised a $ 17 million chain of LightSpeed, Nvidia and Y Combinator last year. The start of the smallest smaller provision of a web search layer Firecrawl. Openai and Perplexity also provide search solutions directed towards independent developers.
