Exa

The world's data for AI agents

Visit Exa

Exa is a web search API that gives applications and AI agents access to an index of public web and private information, solving the problem of retrieving current, relevant context for AI-driven tasks. It supports searching, extracting content from URLs, finding similar sites, agent research, and monitoring.

The product line includes the Search API, Contents API, Agent API, and Monitors API, along with Exa Connect for integrations. Search offers multiple latency modes (fast, auto, deep) and outputs such as AI summaries, structured outputs, highlights, and standard results. Integrations span frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Vercel AI SDK, platforms including OpenAI, Claude, Google Cloud, AWS, and Databricks, and automation tools like n8n, Zapier, and Make.

Exa is aimed at developers building AI agents, assistants, and applications that need web search capabilities. It offers a free trial for the API, with pricing based on request volume, and provides contact sales options for enterprise needs.
