Exa - BoostGPT Documentation

Search by meaning rather than keyword, with page contents. Finds pages that discuss a problem, not ones that match a phrase.

Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find Exa and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against Exa before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

What you will need

What an agent can do with it

Tool	What it does
`search`	Search the web by meaning rather than keywords. Good for ‘find me pages like this’ where the exact words are unknown. Ask for text to get page content back with the results.
`get_contents`	Fetch the full text of pages you already have URLs for.
`find_similar`	Find pages similar to a URL you already have.
`answer`	Ask a question and get an answer with citations, rather than a list of links.
