How they use Tavily
CAVA uses Tavily to give employees internet access through Ask Astro, its production internal agent built on Databricks. Astro routes natural-language questions across domain-specific Genie spaces and external MCP tools. Its supervisor synthesizes responses for users.
CAVA added Tavily so employees could check information on the internet within Astro without switching to another assistant. The presentation identifies Tavily MCP for web search and page extraction and says guardrails are built into the agent. The integration supplements Astro’s access to internal business data and Atlassian tools.
CAVA runs daily evaluations on production traces, including checks for routing correctness and safety. User feedback is stored in Lakebase. Dashboards monitor adoption, cost and latency across the agent’s tools.
