Exa

Exa AI is a developer of an AI search engine designed specifically for AI models. Its mission is to organize the world's knowledge, filter information, and extract real knowledge through advanced search algorithms. Exa AI's search engine utilizes vector databases and embedding models to train models in predicting the most relevant links, rather than just the next word. This innovative approach enables Exa AI to process link datasets and provide unique search results.

One of Exa AI's key offerings is its semantic search capability, which allows the search engine to understand complex queries and accurately filter information from the internet by converting web page content into numerical vectors. This method enhances the engine's ability to comprehend and match query content, delivering results that align with users' actual needs. Exa AI's search engine is the first web-scale neural search engine that employs end-to-end Transformer technology to filter by meaning rather than keywords.

Exa AI's model training dataset includes shared links on web pages, enabling its search engine to better understand and predict the relevance of web page links. The company's training method focuses on predicting the most relevant links, avoiding SEO spam and low-quality AI-generated content. In addition to semantic search and content crawling, Exa AI offers features such as similarity search, large-scale data processing, real-time updates, filtering capabilities, and API integration.

Key customers and partnerships

As of August 2024, the company claimed to serve thousands of customers, including notable firms such as Databricks, OpenAI, and LangChain, which use Exa to find large training datasets for its models.
