Most other attempts to expose knowledge (data) comes with crazy friction - picking providers, high latency, costs that are hard to understand/predict/model.
Our combined offering is much more straightforward - simple pricing, latency consistent with what people have come to expect from their context infra (ie websearch-only APIs).
This offering makes all the context an agent would need available through one simple, fast, well-understood interface.
Very excited about this one!
We're partnering with @youdotcom to launch Knowledge.
Data search + web search, the right way:
-Frictionless access to hundreds of authoritative sources
-Fast, accurate retrieval
-Simple, fair economics
What will You build?

Freshness is so important for information like prices and rates.
It's surprising people/agents have accepted not having to access this data for so long.
At Tako we know exactly how hard it is to make that data accessible, let alone in a single interface spanning all topics, let alone at a latency that proscribes the use of LLMs (sub-500ms p50).
We've worked really hard to bring all this data to you at low latency, so check it out in Vercel AI Gateway!

Lots of alpha in government contract data!
Agents need signal to process. In some domains like public company research, there's a ton of information available by virtue of reporting requirements. That's not true of the hundreds of millions of global private companies.
Agents researching competitors or looking for opportunities are very interested in private companies. But what do they do, do they have momentum, where are they winning and losing? These companies don't shout it from the rooftops.
But they do leave a trace, if you know where to look.
One incredible source of signal: federal and state contracting. It's a LOT of data, but we made it agent-ready. Check it out

MPP is a full-circle moment for me. I joined @Anchorage and @paradigm early because I was fascinated by reinventing the infrastructure for how value moves.
Tako now supports the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), so your agents can now pay for real research.
It's simple: just set your agent up to pay with Stripe or stablecoins via Tempo and now your agent can autonomously discover and pay for Tako’s APIs, unlocking real-time, authoritative answers across markets, startups, web + app analytics, public opinion, geopolitics, sports, weather, and even your own data.
MPP removes even more of the friction separating your questions from great answers. Check it out!

I eventually left crypto to work on another infrastructure problem: giving AI access to high-quality answers grounded in real-time data.
And in working on that at @TakoViz, I ran into a related one: how do agents pay for answers without a human in the loop? And how do you make paying fractions of a cent actually practical?

MPP is an elegant stablecoin-based solution to a real problem for humans, agents, and companies like us building for them.
Great work from @gakonst , @jeff_weinstein , and everyone else pushing this forward!
