Exa was built with a simple goal — to organize all knowledge. After several years of heads-down research, we developed novel representation learning techniques and crawling infrastructure so that LLMs can intelligently find relevant information.

"Exa is how Devin sees the web" My favorite part of this job is getting to power products I love using day to day. Devin is a core partner to our engineering team at Exa and now we are behind web search across Cognition. Thank you to Walden, co-founder of Cognition and Ido for sitting down with us!

Excited to announce Exa raised $250M in Series C funding at a $2.2B valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz. Exa is an AI research lab building the market leading search engine for AI. Our search API now serves 5000+ companies and 400,000+ developers. Companies like Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and much of the Fortune 500 use Exa for the highest quality search over fresh web data. These are still the early days - in the next few years the number of searches from AI agents will be 1000x more than Google searches today. We are so excited to work with Sarah Wang who is joining our board. Existing investors doubled down: Benchmark, Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Excited for Scott Wu, Igor Babuschkin, Tal Broda and many other AI leaders to join the round as well. These past 5 years have been quite a rollercoaster ride toward that original vision of perfect search. I’m very lucky to now work with 100 of the best builders in the world who see the gravity of what this company can become. Perfect search awaits 🫡

Excited to share we raised $250M at a 2.2B valuation led by a16z! I joined Exa when it was 25 people, now we are 100+ people and have built the search engine for AI. I feel very lucky to work with this group of people. Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and much of the Fortune 500 use Exa for the highest quality search over fresh web data. In the last year we've: - built high quality search across every latency for web search - released new highlights capabilities for token-efficient contents - driven both developer love and enterprise growth as our GTM org scales It still feels like the early days. There is a lot more to do: we're building infra to manage trillions of requests, endpoints that can handle any web search task and growing our index. We're hiring across sales, marketing, ops, ML, Infra, evals. Come join us! exa.ai/careers

Very excited to share this work on how search quality shape RL outcomes! Search agents often use Google as the backend during RL - how does Exa compare to Google on training LLMs to search? In this blog post, we find that LLMs using Exa during reinforcement learning reach higher performance with 70% less training compute. Great working with Sol Kim, Michael Fine and others on this.

Most benefits from coding agents center engineering teams, but among the teams to most benefit is GTM. One reason for this is the ceiling in most people's workflows is people search, email enrichments, automated sequences based on usage....etc. In reality, internal usage + across our GTM enterprise customers prove the ceiling is far higher. We'll share some of our workflows at Exa and learn from others pushing best in class approaches here: • Scott Langille (Exa) → product/ segmentation mapping at scale and enhanced enrichment built into GTM workflows • Angela Ferrante (Zapier) → agents that identify lead leakage and prioritize pipeline tests • George Hou (Cursor) → an internal AE companion agent • Shashank Khanna (Vanta) → a GTM state machine feeding multiple workflows • Dan Ahmadi (Upside) → paid ad optimization running on autopilot • Chris Bennett (Wonderschool) → 40+ agents automating outreach and internal ops sign up here: luma.com/04bg11l5

Excited to partner with Google to power web search for agents! We're building a search engine for agents at Exa, making it especially full circle to work with the Google team on this. Now live across Vertex + Gemini Enterprise. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gNE4fhch

Thrilled to be co-hosting an event with my good friend Yi Li during TECH WEEK by a16z this June 4th in NYC (Lightfield x Exa). We're bringing together some of the top founding GTM hires at AI-native companies for a panel on one of the questions I find myself thinking about most right now: what actually moves the dial when you're selling to technical buyers? These are people who've been in the trenches - figuring out the right motions, the right messaging, and the right moments to push. Should be a genuinely great conversation. If you're in NYC that week, come hang. Network, reconnect with old friends, and walk away with something useful. 📅 June 4 | NYC | NY Tech Week https://lnkd.in/ddBzcyRD

Excited to partner with Google to offer Exa inside Gemini models! Gemini models can now access a new type of search engine designed for agents. Exa's search is designed for agentic products that require the highest quality over code, companies, people, papers, etc. and now the reasoning layer can come from Gemini. In other words, 10^18 🤝 10^100
We're excited to partner with Google to offer Grounding With Exa inside of Gemini models! Using Exa's agent-first search, Gemini models can now access billions of websites, technical docs, papers, people, companies, and more. Exa is built for high quality, low latency code, people, company search for agents. Learn more on how to get started here: https://lnkd.in/g-bSq6aN 10^18 🤝 10^100
💡GTM Spotlight: 6 weeks into joining Exa as a Strategic Account Executive, Cat Yu has already closed 8 deals and actively manages $2M in pipeline. With experience scaling companies like Stripe, Uber, and Visa, Cat operates at lightning speed with a killer instinct. She’s both technical and creative– with an interdisciplinary background (three master's degrees in three years!) at MIT School of Engineering and Tsinghua and work experience across three continents. Most importantly, she’s an absolute joy to work with :) We’re excited to see her scale up our GTM machine in the coming years.
