What is Exa?

Exa is search & site search from Exa Labs Inc, based in San Francisco, United States. Web search API for AI agents and apps that returns real-time results, research and structured content

Search tools cover three related jobs: search inside a website or app, enterprise search across a company's own scattered systems, and search APIs that developers embed. All three are being rewritten by AI retrieval, which changed the expectation from a list of blue links to a direct answer with sources. Relevance tuning and latency remain the things you actually buy.

A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams. Beyond search & site search, Exa also covers ai tools.
