The Consumer Apps Data Challenge
Consumer app teams want to embed rich search and recommendation experiences without staffing a data engineering team. In 2026 the bar is conversational search over real world content, not static lists. Whether the app is a personal finance coach, a recipe planner, or a hobby community, it needs structured access to Google, Amazon, YouTube, Maps, and Reddit community discussions pulled in response to user prompts. A single search API replaces multiple vendor contracts.
Built for These Teams

Key Workflows
In-app conversational search
When a user asks a question, the app routes the query through Scavio, grounds the LLM response in fresh results, and returns an answer with inline citations. Users trust the output because they can open source links without leaving the experience.
Contextual recommendations
For a given user action, fetch related products, videos, or local businesses. The app presents recommendations with live ratings and prices that match reality, which keeps repeat engagement and trust metrics well above categorical averages.
Onboarding personalization
During onboarding, the app asks about interests and pulls curated content across the web to fill the first session with value. New users see relevant results immediately instead of cold start lists, which lifts day seven retention noticeably.
Event and location awareness
Consumer apps in travel, food, and hobby spaces pull local events, restaurants, and services through Google Maps and search. Users get recommendations that reflect their current city and schedule rather than generic national defaults and stale feeds.
