A comment on Launch HN: Exa (YC S21) – The web as a database. Parent comment
Mission of Exa has always been to build much better web search. The evolution has been:
- 2022: Consumer-facing embeddings search (back when we were known as Metaphor)
- 2023: Web search for AIs - once the AI ecosystem heated up, we made a business out of web search + crawling API. This is still our primary business.
- Now: Websets, a useful product built on top of our search tech
If you're curious, our company right now is fully devoted to:
1. Dramatically improving Websets quality
2. Building the best general search engine in the world
