{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[Tavily](https://www.tavily.com/) is an AI-powered search API designed specifically for LLM applications. It provides reliable, real-time information retrieval capabilities with features optimized for AI use cases, including semantic search, content extraction, and structured data retrieval.

With Tavily, you can:

- **Perform contextual searches**: Get relevant results based on semantic understanding rather than just keyword matching
- **Extract structured content**: Pull specific information from web pages in a clean, usable format
- **Access real-time information**: Retrieve up-to-date data from across the web
- **Process multiple URLs simultaneously**: Extract content from several web pages in a single request
- **Receive AI-optimized results**: Get search results specifically formatted for consumption by AI systems

In Sim, the Tavily integration enables your agents to search the web and extract information as part of their workflows. This allows for sophisticated automation scenarios that require up-to-date information from the internet. Your agents can formulate search queries, retrieve relevant results, and extract content from specific web pages to inform their decision-making processes. This integration bridges the gap between your workflow automation and the vast knowledge available on the web, enabling your agents to access real-time information without manual intervention. By connecting Sim with Tavily, you can create agents that stay current with the latest information, provide more accurate responses, and deliver more value to users.
