Valyu provides an AI-powered search API designed for use in knowledge work, agents, and large language models. Its core function is to enable automated systems to perform advanced, multi-step research across a wide range of data sources, including specialist, proprietary, and web-based content. The platform is positioned for applications in fields such as finance, science, and R&D, facilitating tasks like comparing financial metrics or gathering cited information from authoritative sources.
The API supports real-time search and retrieval of both structured and unstructured data, returning cited and structured outputs to support deep research workflows. Valyu indexes and provides access to at least 55 different sources spanning categories such as academic research (including arXiv, PubMed, BioRxiv, and MedRxiv), finance (such as real-time and historical market data, regulatory filings, and industry news), compliance (sanctions lists from multiple jurisdictions), company data (balance sheets, earnings, SEC filings), healthcare (clinical trials, drug databases, and global health data), environmental and geospatial data (weather, disaster records, air and marine forecasts), and open web content. The system is capable of scanning thousands of sources with low latency, and outputs are cited to their original sources, supporting traceability and verification.
Valyu is delivered as an API, allowing integration into AI products and research workflows. It emphasizes security and compliance, referencing standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, and states a zero data retention policy. The platform highlights its performance on the DRACO long-form research benchmark, with particular strength in deep research tasks across finance, medicine, and scholarly domains.
The tool is positioned within the class of AI search and retrieval APIs, serving organizations and developers building advanced research and knowledge work solutions.
