### What we like

Simple API to issue search queries to LLMs from code: exa.search(“query here”). Can auto-suggest prompt changes to optimize searches e.g. keyword searches don’t work well with LLMs. Avoids the need for prompt chaining. Has specialist indexes for things like companies, GitHub repos, papers, blogs, jobs.

### Tradeoffs

SDKs limited to Python, Go, Node.
