About

Exa is a next-generation AI search engine and API designed specifically for AI agents and developers — providing LLM-optimized web search that returns clean, structured content from web pages rather than raw HTML or snippet-only results, enabling AI applications to integrate real-time web knowledge without content parsing overhead. Founded in 2022 by Will Bryk in San Francisco, Exa (formerly Metaphor) has raised approximately $22 million and targets developers building AI agents, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) applications, and AI-powered research tools that need reliable, high-quality web data.\n\nExa's neural search API allows AI developers to search the web using natural language queries and receive full page content in LLM-friendly format, with metadata and relevance scoring. Unlike traditional web scraping or raw search API results that require significant parsing and cleaning, Exa returns semantically relevant, well-structured content that language models can process directly. Exa's index is curated for quality rather than comprehensiveness, prioritizing authoritative sources and freshness.\n\nIn 2025, Exa competes in the AI-native search and data retrieval market alongside Tavily (another AI search API), Perplexity API, and Bing Search API for AI agent web search capabilities. As AI agents that autonomously browse the web and research topics become more prevalent (Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's GPT-4, and specialized agent frameworks like LangChain and CrewAI all need web access), the market for clean, AI-optimized web search has grown rapidly. Exa's neural search approach (using embeddings for semantic matching rather than just keyword matching) differentiates it for nuanced research queries. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing API developer adoption, expanding its index coverage, and building enterprise versions with custom crawling for proprietary content sources.

About

100ms is a live audio and video infrastructure platform that provides developers with SDKs and APIs for embedding real-time communication features — video rooms, audio spaces, live streams, and recording — into web and mobile applications. The platform is designed around a room-based model where developers programmatically create, configure, and manage video rooms through a REST API, with client SDKs for React, iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native handling the media layer. This abstraction allows teams to build fully custom video experiences with their own UI without dealing with WebRTC internals, TURN server management, or media server infrastructure.
