Use Exa for web-grounded retrieval, then synthesis.
  • In AI-column workflows, instruct the model prompt to use Exa retrieval explicitly for website-derived tech stack and on-site signals.
  • Use direct Exa tool calls when you need tighter provider controls or auditable step-by-step retrieval outside AI-column orchestration.
  • For auditable outputs, run exa_search/exa_contents first and synthesize after inspecting citations.
  • Use focused queries and small numResults during pilots, then widen only if coverage is low.
  • Treat exa_answer as the summarization layer, not the first retrieval step, when precision matters.
