At Exa, we apply a scaling hypothesis for search, believing that increasing data and compute will enhance our search engine's capabilities, unlike traditional search engines that have stagnated.

Exa understands the meaning behind queries, allowing us to find relevant information even when traditional search engines fail to match keywords, such as identifying a rocket company in San Francisco.

The goal of Exa is to create a search engine that understands user queries at a deep level, similar to how GB3 interacts with users.

AI applications are emerging everywhere, and they all require effective search capabilities, which is where Exa can provide significant value.

Persistence is key in negotiations; founders often need to push beyond their comfort zones to achieve their goals.

Persistence is key in startups; even if your first idea fails, keep iterating and you will eventually find something that works.

Persistence is key in my work; I may not be the best at everything, but I will keep working on a problem until I solve it.

AI excels at semantic search, allowing it to find relevant information from arbitrary text, which was challenging before.

Exa was launched in November 2022, designed specifically for AI applications that require knowledge retrieval.
