      Exa's prompt-engineered Search API performs semantic and keyword web search optimized for LLM and agent
      consumption. Returns a list of relevant results with URLs, titles, authors, published dates, relevance scores, and
      optional token-efficient highlights, summaries, or full text via the bundled Contents API. The Answer endpoint
      returns an LLM-generated answer grounded in web citations. Verticals include Code, Companies, News, People,
      Research, and Financials. Latency tiers run from fast (180ms) to auto (~1s) to deep (~10s).

  Exa is a web search API and AI research platform built specifically for LLMs and agents — semantic and keyword search
  across the open web with token-efficient highlights, structured outputs, sub-200ms latency tiers, and verticals for
  code, companies, news, people, research, and financials. The platform pairs the core Search, Contents, and Answer
  endpoints with Research (asynchronous deep research), Agent (managed multi-step agents at four effort modes), Monitors
  (scheduled searches with webhooks), and Websets (curated, enrichable result collections). Customers include Cognition
  (Devin), HubSpot, Monday, Databricks, AWS, and Cursor; Exa raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs.
  Open SDKs in Python and JavaScript, an MCP server, Google Sheets and n8n integrations, and a free tier of 1,000
  requests/month round out the surface.
