Use Exa web search
Exa gives your agent high-quality web search so it can research topics, gather sources, and ground its answers — included with your instance’s search credits.
Confirm search credits
Your plan includes a monthly allotment of Exa search credits. Check your instance settings to see the included amount and current usage.
Ask the agent to research
No setup needed — just ask. The agent uses Exa to search the web, fetch pages, and summarize findings with links back to sources.
Use it inside workflows
Reference web research in any workflow — competitor tracking, market monitoring, or daily briefs. The agent searches, filters, and reports on a schedule.
Bring your own key (optional)
If you need more volume, add your own Exa API key as a secret in your Agent Environment Profile to run on your own quota.
