Exa is building a search engine designed to return precisely what a user asks for, using a novel neural approach rather than traditional keyword-based methods. The company's work is grounded in applied AI, neural search, and end-to-end neural networks, with a focus on web search applications. It has secured over $100M in funding and serves thousands of companies across sectors including AI startups, private equity, and consulting.
The company offers two main products. Its Search API provides a lightning-fast interface with response times under 200ms. Websets is positioned as its most powerful product, designed to handle complex queries. To support its research and development, Exa operates an exa-cluster comprising 18 8xH200 nodes of compute infrastructure.
