Exa Web Search

What Exa Provides

Exa is a semantic search engine. You describe what you want in natural language. Exa returns web pages that match the intent, not just the literal words.

For example, a query like "Splunk index best practices for high-volume data" returns relevant docs, blog posts, and guides even if they use different phrasing.

Use Cases in Agents

Agents use Exa when:

• Research — Finding Splunk documentation, best practices, or troubleshooting guides
• Context enrichment — Pulling in external context when answering questions
• Verification — Checking facts against authoritative sources

You enable Exa in your integration settings. Agents can then call it when they need web search.

Setup

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Exa.
2. Enter your Exa API key (you get one from exa.ai).
3. Save.

Agents can now use Exa for semantic search when relevant to the task.

When to Use Exa

Enable Exa when you want agents to:

• Look up Splunk or vendor documentation
• Research new features or migration paths
• Find relevant external resources

Exa is optional. If you prefer agents to rely only on your Splunk and internal docs, disable it.
