Mission
Exa was built with a simple goal — organize all knowledge. Today, the world’s knowledge is scattered across billions of sites and we find things based on keywords. Exa will organize this knowledge into an intelligent database and we’ll find things based on meaning. For example, keywords can’t handle these queries, but Exa will:
- “Extract all ideas from New York newspapers in the 1960s talking about the future of AI systems”.
- “Find every person in SF who has worked on rust compilers and would disagree with this blog post I wrote”.
If we handle these types of queries, we won’t merely have a better search engine — we’d be unlocking knowledge in a way not seen since the printing press.
Careers at Exa
Our information ecosystem is broken, and the best way to fix it is to combine LLMs with high quality content from the Internet.
