What You Can Build

Map a Market

Find conceptually related companies and organize results for comparison.

Discover Research

Search for papers by topic and discover related material beyond exact keyword matches.

Scout Related Content

Locate similar articles and sources for planning, differentiation, and fact checking.

Try These Prompts

Run a Basic Semantic Search
Use Exa to search for sources about [topic]. Return relevant results with titles, links, and one-sentence relevance notes.
Search a Specific Category
Search Exa for [company, person, or research paper] results about [topic]. Apply the closest category and explain why each result fits.
Find Similar Content
Using [source or topic], find semantically similar content with Exa. Group results by similarity and note meaningful differences.
Build a Structured Research Brief
Investigate [research question] with Exa across [categories]. Use several semantic queries, compare recurring evidence, identify disagreements, and present a source-linked synthesis.

Best Practices

  • State the research question, desired categories, and date range before searching.
  • Use environment variables for the Exa API key and never place secrets in prompts.
  • Verify important claims against primary sources before publishing or making decisions.

Avoid

  • Do not use vague topics when a precise concept or category is available.
  • Do not treat semantic similarity as proof that sources support the same conclusion.
  • Do not expose API keys, private documents, or confidential query details.
