Blog post from Exa
Exa is an AI search platform offering search, web crawling, deep research, content, agent, and monitoring APIs for applications and AI agents. The company directs users to its site index for information on products, pricing, documentation, use cases, and evaluations, while also providing integrations, resources, and enterprise offerings. In an October 2026 announcement, Exa reported that its Exa 3.0 search system ranked first on the Artificial Analysis Search Index, an independent benchmark of search providers. Exa attributes the result to a larger embedding model, Dynamic Highlights that reduce token use by 95% compared with full-page text, and an index expanded by billions of documents covering areas such as products, local businesses, travel, events, sports, and weather. The company states that its search quality enables agents to use 20% to 50% fewer queries per task than competing providers while improving accuracy.
