Tako Search is free on AI Gateway through September 30th
The tool normally costs $7 to $12 per 1,000 requests and works with any AI Gateway model without a separate Tako account or API key.
Tako Search, a search tool on Vercel's AI Gateway, is free through September 30th, down from its usual $7 per 1,000 instant or fast requests and $12 per 1,000 deep requests.
The tool is model-agnostic: it works with any model available through AI Gateway, so switching models keeps the same search integration without a separate Tako account or API key. It combines Tako's curated knowledge graph with live web results in one response, returning source-grounded data cards, citations and visualizations. Results can be limited to curated data or the live web, and narrowed by domain and publication date.
To use it with the AI SDK, developers add gateway.tools.takoSearch() to the tools object in a generateText or streamText request. The model calls Tako when it needs external information, and AI Gateway runs the search and returns the results to inform its answer. See the AI Gateway documentation for setup and configuration options.
