Getting Started

Exa provides search for AI.

What is Exa (formerly Metaphor)?

Exa is a knowledge API for LLMs..

  • Search
    • Using the /search endpoint, your LLM can search using natural language and return a list of relevant webpages from our neural database. Exa's neural search allows your LLM to query in natural language. And if a query doesn't benefit from neural search, Exa also supports traditional Google-style keyword search.
  • Contents
    • Right alongside the search results, you can obtain clean, up-to-date HTML content, no web crawling or scraping required. We also support returning highlights from pages - highly intelligent extracts calculated using RAG models.

See "Examples" to see Exa in action. Or just ask one of our GPTs how to build what you want!
