About Exa
Exa is a search engine built for AI, giving developers and AI agents fast, accurate access to the open web through a single API. Exa tracks more than 1.4 trillion URLs, trains its own embedding models on a GPU cluster it assembled, runs vector databases built for the query volumes agents demand, and returns results in under 180 milliseconds with zero data retention on every endpoint. Its platform spans search, full-page content extraction, an agent for deep research, monitors that track changes over time, and Websets for building exhaustive lists of companies and people, plus an MCP server. Exa is used by more than 5,000 companies, including Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, Notion, and Monday.com.
