The Problem
Pure vector RAG only retrieves from a static internal corpus and cannot answer about current events, competitor pricing, or public information. Pure search RAG cannot access private documents. Neither alone provides complete answers.
How Scavio Helps
- Answers both internal and external questions accurately
- Query classifier reduces unnecessary search API calls
- Structured search results integrate cleanly with RAG context
- Multi-platform search enriches responses with diverse sources
- Reduces hallucination for time-sensitive queries

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Customer asks support agent: 'How does our pricing compare to [competitor]?' Hybrid RAG retrieves internal pricing docs from vector DB AND queries Google for competitor's current pricing page. Agent combines both sources for an accurate, current comparison.":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for AI engineers building RAG systems, enterprise chatbot developers, teams building customer-facing AI assistants
