Reverse Image Search

Let’s talk about reverse image search as a service. Seems like a logical progression for Tavily, right?

Hello there,

Reverse image search sounds like an interesting idea!

In the meantime, you can take advantage of our existing features, such as include_images and include_image_descriptions, to enhance your search experience:

  • include_images: bool – Includes a list of query-related images in the response.
  • include_image_descriptions: bool – Includes a list of query-related images along with their descriptions in the response.

Best,
May

Yep, that is a great feature, though for a NY minute we thought it was part of an image search feature. What a lot of folks need these days is the ability to unify image/text search with LLM query generation, where we use LLM to identify the principal item in one OR MORE images, generate text query, and allow both the image/s and the text to go out as a unified query. Then we need the content from the searched web pages to be made available to the next LLM agent (which some LLMs say they enable, but really their developer-facing services (not to be confused with their consumer applications) don’t, not even Gemini – not properly…grounding is not awesome). So that means some form of scraping or access to crawled/indexed embeddings repo. We came up with a clever approach to that, but would have welcomed an out of the box solution.
