Tips

• Exa’s search is semantic — it understands meaning, not just keywords. Queries like “startups building developer tools in Europe” work naturally.
• crawling_exa returns clean markdown from any URL — useful when your agent needs to read a specific page, not search for one.
• get_code_context_exa is the fastest way to find code examples — searches GitHub, Stack Overflow, and docs simultaneously.
• Pair with an AI node for research agents that search, read, and summarize.
