Exa
What it is
Exa (formerly Metaphor) rebuilt search for machines: embeddings-based retrieval finds pages by meaning rather than keywords, returns full clean text, and filters by domain, date, or similarity to an example. Developers wire it into agents and RAG systems; its Websets product turns 'find me every Series A fintech in Europe' into structured datasets.
Key features
- Meaning-based neural search
- Clean full-text contents
- Similarity and filter queries
- Websets structured research
What we liked
- + Best semantic web retrieval
