Tako Search is free on AI Gateway through September 30
Tako Search gives any AI Gateway model current web and curated data through one AI SDK tool, without a separate account or key. The free window ends September 30.
Tako Search adds **live web and curated data** to models on Vercel AI Gateway, with domain and publication-date filters, citations, and visualizations. It is **free through September 30**; standard rates follow.
Add **gateway.tools.takoSearch()** to a generateText or streamText request. Because the integration works across Gateway models, builders can switch the underlying model without rebuilding search plumbing or managing a separate Tako credential.

The announcement does not specify standard pricing, retrieval quality, source coverage, or citation reliability. Treat the free period as a chance to test those properties against your own research tasks.
Tako gives the Gateway a second keyless, model-independent search path alongside Exa, now adding curated data, visualizations, and explicit domain/date controls. This strengthens the case for treating retrieval as swappable gateway plumbing, while leaving the same unresolved evaluation work around quality, coverage, citations, latency, and post-promotion cost.
