Websets is now generally available at https://websets.exa.ai/! If you’d like to ask us about it, book a call here.




2. Get started

Websets is very easy to use.

  1. Select a well-supported data category (or type your own)
  2. Describe what you want in plain English - make it as complicated as you’d like!
  3. Confirm how many results you want, then fire off your search



3. Inside your Webset

In brief, Websets does the following:

  1. Break down what you’re asking for
  2. Find promising data that might satisfy your ask
  3. Verify every result using AI agents
  4. Adjusts search based on feedback you provide our agent

Let’s walk through an example: “Early to mid-stage AI startups in the US”

Websets breaks down your query with the following criteria:

  1. Company is in the AI industry
  2. Company is in early to mid-stage of development (e.g., seed to Series B funding)
  3. Company is headquartered in the United States

If you’re not satisfied with the initial results you see, refine the criteria inside of the Chat.




4. Interacting with your Webset

Once the Webset is complete, you can interact with the components!

Click on a result to see:

  1. Its AI-generated summary
  2. The criterias it met to be included in the Webset
  3. The sources that informed the matching (you can click through the sources here)

You can manually delete results, to clean up your Webset before exporting it.
