Context management
Exa
Neural web search, page-content extraction and a hosted agent API for grounding on live web data

What it is
Our note
Exa is the web-context supplier most agent stacks default to, with separate indexes for web, people, company and scholarly content plus an Agent API that runs the retrieve-and-answer loop itself. Highlights and excerpt control make it a context-supply API rather than a plain SERP wrapper.
