Exa Playground

The perfect search engine

Exa’s dashboard is a hands-on playground for its Web Search API: type a query, test semantic search, crawl pages, and export results. It’s exactly how you’d wire an agent to read the live web.

How it differs from ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a general LLM chat interface whereas Exa is infrastructure. In the playground you’re tuning search/crawl behavior (sources, depth, results, speed), then piping those results into your own app or agent. Like connecting LLMs to the web, rather than chatting and hoping the model browses well.

Why it’s interesting

• Agent-ready search: purpose-built API endpoints for search, page reads, and research planning.

• Speed matters: low-latency calls optimized for agent workflows.

• Scale & pricing clarity: PAYG and team plans (websets) for bigger datasets and monitoring.
