About Exa
Exa climbs from search primitives toward frontier web-research agents delivered over an API.
Exa's API has expanded from a single search endpoint into a set of specialized retrieval products — Company Search, People Search (1B+ profiles), Instant Search, and Monitors — with markdown content and auto-routing now defaults. The recent headline is Exa Agent, a class of web-research agents accessible via API, marking a shift from returning results to running research.
