Co-founded by Alex Rosenberg and Bobby Abbott, Tako is an AI search engine that delivers interactive, up-to-date and shareable knowledge cards built exclusively from the world’s most authoritative data sources, transforming how knowledge workers access, visualize and share factual information, enabling knowledge workers to access, visualize and share factual information to make informed decisions based on data available.
Tako has already partnered with Perplexity. In May, its search and visualization tools were integrated into Perplexity’s answer engine, and last month, the company expanded its capabilities further with a Polymarket tie-in, allowing for visual display of dynamic data like election trends.
