Exa AI Labs has announced a strategic move to debut an AI search engine, aiming to revolutionize the industry by focusing on native web search for AIs. This new venture, which leverages large language models (LLMs) for search, has garnered significant support and investment, including a partnership with Lightspeed Venture Partners. The company, originally known as Metaphor, has been developing this technology for over three years, positioning itself ahead of competitors in the AI search space. Meanwhile, HIX.AI has also announced a major product pivot to AI search, rivaling Perplexity.
