Exa — AI Search Engine

What is Exa?

Exa is a web search API designed for developers and AI teams building applications that need real-time web data. It performs semantic search with embeddings, extracts clean HTML content from search results, and provides direct answers with citations that help software engineers integrate live web information into their products. Developers building AI agents, researchers conducting market analysis, and sales teams sourcing leads can use Exa to access structured web data through simple API calls.

What sets Exa apart?

Exa specializes in neural search that understands context and meaning rather than relying solely on keyword matching like traditional search engines. This approach proves particularly helpful for engineering teams building applications that need to find conceptually related content, not just exact term matches. Exa delivers semantic understanding that goes beyond conventional web search methods to find the content technical teams actually need.
