Building Search for AI Agents with Exa CEO Will Bryk

The a16z Show
Building Search for AI Agents with Exa CEO Will Bryk

Can you say more about the data element?

And obviously, no need to share any secret sauce there, but it does feel like the web is getting increasingly closed, to some extent, parts of the web, right?

One that you didn't talk about that I just want to pause on really quickly is coding.

The a16z Show
Building Search for AI Agents with Exa CEO Will Bryk

Can you share more about why web search makes coding agents more powerful for this use case in particular and why EGSA is such a perfect fit for the coding use case?

The a16z Show
