Tavily integration
A draft is only citable if its sources are real and current. The Tavily integration gives WriteWorks research agents live web search, on your own key, so a brief is built from what exists today.
What the Tavily integration is
Tavily is a search API built for agents rather than people: it returns sources and extracts rather than a page of blue links. WriteWorks uses your key to run those searches while a brief or research task is being assembled.
The reason it matters is that a model's training data has a date on it and your market does not. Live search is what keeps a draft from confidently describing a product tier that was retired last year.
What you can do with it
Four questions the two data sets answer together that neither answers alone.
Agents search as they work, so a brief cites what is published now rather than what a model remembers.
Every claim gathered arrives with the URL it came from, which is what makes a draft checkable before it ships.
Recency matters more in AI search than in classic search, because engines lean on fresh, well-structured sources when they answer.
Automations that run weekly pick up what changed in the market since the last run, rather than repeating the first answer.
How the Tavily integration works
About a minute to connect, and nothing to maintain afterwards.
Create a Tavily API key
Sign up for Tavily and create a key. Searches run on your plan and your quota.
Add the key to WriteWorks
Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Tavily. Paste the key, which is stored encrypted.
Let agents search while they work
Research tasks and brief generation call Tavily when they need current sources, and the results are kept with the output.
Check the sources before publishing
Each draft carries its source list, so review is reading the evidence rather than trusting the prose.
Who uses the Tavily integration
The same connection answers a different question depending on who is asking.
Drafts that arrive with real, current sources instead of plausible-sounding claims.
Fact-check by following links rather than by re-researching the whole piece.
Run a market or competitor sweep on a schedule and see only what changed.
Bill research to the client's own key and keep each brand's research separate.
You bring your own account. The Tavily integration authenticates with your own account at Tavily, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks reads the data that account already has access to, and nothing else. Disconnect at any time and the stored credential is deleted.
