Our take

The way we currently query AIs means that the models we rely on are themselves reliant on the quality of internet search tools. To answer this, Exa is building a tool that allows AI models to perform the equivalent of a web search, making the models more effective in their responses to our questions.

Exa’s embeddings-based search engine is free of “hallucinations” (those bizarre search query answers that AI sometimes brings back to users). Also, in the same way that LLMs complete sentences, its predictive technology does the same for search queries by providing the next probable link.

It's an alluring product for companies and individuals who want to accelerate their research answers. It's also one of a kind at present, which has led to several successful funding rounds which will help accelerate its product. If it maintains its current momentum, Exa could well be the AI search engine of the future.
