Introducing Exa Agent: frontier web research at less than half the cost of GPT 5.5 and Opus.
/agent orchestrates a mixture of cost-effective models to complete any web research task, from simple data enrichments to building gigantic lists.
Introducing Exa for Claude:
Give Claude access to billions of websites, docs, papers, people, companies, and more. Exa turns Claude into a recruiter, a salesperson, a researcher, a reliable engineer, all with one plugin.
Run in terminal: claude plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official && claude plugin i exa@claude-plugins-official && claude "call mcp__plugin_exa_exa__authenticate (a deferred tool available to you, guaranteed)"
We're excited to partner with @coinbase to enable agents to natively pay for web search, via x402!
x402 is an open protocol that enables agents to pay via HTTP, governed by the Linux Foundation. When an Exa API request is made without an API key, Exa now returns a 402 status code with payment information that an agent can act on.
Introducing Exa Monitors - your agent’s radar for the web
Exa is a search engine built from scratch, and today we're exposing our "update" layer. Simply define what to find and how often - Monitors will return any new information, via webhook.
