Overzicht

Exa is a search engine built specifically for AI applications, offering a developer-friendly API that returns clean, relevant web content optimized for use with large language models. Unlike traditional search engines designed for human browsing, Exa uses neural and keyword search techniques to surface high-quality pages based on meaning rather than just keywords. Developers can use Exa to power retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, research agents, and other AI workflows that need fresh, accurate information from the web. The API supports semantic search, similarity lookups, content extraction, and filtering by domain, date, or type. With structured outputs and direct page content retrieval, Exa aims to reduce the friction of integrating real-time web data into AI products.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Full page content retrieval is exactly what I needed, and built-in content extraction saves scraping work. I do wish usage-based pricing can scale with high volume, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on full page content retrieval, and built-in content extraction saves scraping work caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and semantic search returns contextually relevant results. Date, domain, and category filters fits neatly into how we already work, and date, domain, and category filters removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.
