Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire web discovery and semantic search workflow with Exa AI, the search engine built for the future of AI. By connecting Exa to your agent, you transform complex information gathering into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search the web using semantic embeddings, audit similar websites through URL matching, and retrieve cleaned page content without you ever touching a browser. Whether you are conducting deep market research or monitoring niche industry trends, your agent acts as a real-time web analyst, ensuring your intelligence is always grounded in contextually relevant data.

What you can do

  • Semantic Auditing — Query the web using natural language and retrieve results based on meaning rather than just keywords.
  • Similar Discovery — Find websites similar to any provided URL to identify competitors or related sources instantly.
  • Content Oversight — Retrieve cleaned HTML or text content for any search result to maintain a structured view of web data.
  • Usage Intelligence — Monitor your API usage and crawl statistics to maintain strict control over your research budget.
  • Unified Search — Perform search and content retrieval in a single request to optimize agent response times.
