When your agent uses it
Use Tanso, an AI Search CLI for exploring Chinese internet signals. Use when the user asks to search Chinese web sources, Zhihu, Zhihu hotlists, Bocha, Volcengine Ark, Chinese internet topics, source-backed briefs, contradiction checks, counterintuitive topic discovery, popular answers, live provider testing, or current Chinese web signals.
