Exa
Web search rebuilt for LLMs
What they do
AI applications and LLMs struggle to reliably find and filter relevant, up-to-date information from the open web using complex queries.
Exa provides a web search engine and API optimized for LLMs that retrieves and filters internet content for use in AI apps.
Developers and teams building LLM-powered products who need programmatic web search and retrieval.
Founders
I grew up in NYC, then studied CS and physics at Harvard, where I did some ML research and led the robotics club. Then I was a software engineer at ML startup Cresta, while also writing a book about the history of civilization in my spare time. When I realized the future of civilization depends almost entirely on the quality of information we consume, I left to start Exa.
