Exa was better than the native model search experience for us.
We're entering a new era where software actually does the work. For that to be real, the agents need live intelligence behind them. Exa is where that comes from: current company and people data sourced from the web in real time.
Exa is necessary for agents on HubSpot to supplement internal data with high quality, real-time people and company search. We found that other alternatives were slower, more expensive, and did not have comprehensive enrichment coverage.

Exa Launches Agent for Deep Research and Structured Data Enrichment
Exa has introduced Exa Agent, an asynchronous endpoint designed for deep research, list-building, and data enrichment workflows. The agent handles multi-step reasoning tasks and provides structured JSON outputs based on custom schemas. It includes capabilities for schema-validated results, field-level grounding, and metadata generation. Exa Agent supports integration with premium data partners, such as Similarweb, allowing users to select specific providers for data enrichment tasks. The service features usage-based pricing, with variable effort modes ranging from minimal to extra-high to balance cost and output complexity, and is accessible via the Exa SDK and OpenAI-compatible API.
