How they use Tavily
Candor uses Tavily for web research that helps build synthetic audiences. Its developer, Ben Yoskovitz, evaluated search quality after noticing that generated participants were too few and too similar.
He compared identical queries through Tavily and Perplexity, then ran about 30 blind comparisons to judge which results would better support realistic synthetic users. Perplexity performed better on some country-specific searches but worse at finding broader trends relevant to participant creation. The account describes evaluating search providers within Candor’s audience research workflow.
