Exa
Web search, built for AI agents.
Used for
Build a prospecting list
Company founded 2021 as Metaphor (YC S21, Will Bryk & Jeff Wang); rebranded Exa Jan 2024 — using original founding per instruction. AI-first neural/embeddings search (genuinely AI-native tech, predates 2023). MCP verified (github.com/exa-labs/exa-mcp-server + mcp.exa.ai). Maps to list-building/prospecting via Websets; not a waterfall enrichment tool. Free API tier.
