Tako + Liner: Empowering Smarter, Faster Research
Most of the major products shaping technology and culture today started as research projects. With the growth of GenAI, more research is happening than ever before and the tools we use to research are quickly evolving. But what constitutes great research hasn't changed: start with bold questions and end with answers rooted in real data. We're excited to announce our partnership with Liner, an AI research engine that's already helping students and researchers answer millions of research questions faster. By embedding Tako's search engine directly into Liner's platform, we're combining forces to deliver smarter, real-time, credible insights for academics.

Why AI + Authoritative Data Is a Game-Changer
Five years ago, if someone had said that AI would become a staple in research, you might have shrugged. Today, it's hard to imagine research without it. Yet, not all AI is created equal. The partnership between Tako and Liner represents something different: the combination of advanced AI with trusted, structured data to ensure the information researchers rely on is both accurate and actionable.
Let's be real — finding accurate information online can feel like a needle-in-a-haystack mission. There's too much noise, too many conflicting sources and not enough clarity. But by working together, Tako and Liner are breaking down those barriers, delivering fact-checked, data-driven insights that users can trust and act on.
Looking Ahead
This partnership is just the start of how we see Tako transforming industries — from academia to financial analysis to journalism and beyond, we're giving researchers the tools they need to succeed in a world awash with untrustworthy information, all while raising the bar for what a search tool can do.
At Tako, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of search and data. With partners like Liner, we're building a future where factual, high-quality information is not only accessible but empowers us all to be smarter faster, while also being more informed. Stay tuned for what comes next!
