Overview
Exa Answer generates a search-grounded answer from a research question and returns citations. Use it when you need one concise answer or structured research snippet backed by web sources, not a full ranked result list or a long-form report.
Use cases
- Ask how buyers describe a category and review the cited sources.
- Get a quick answer to a competitive or market-research question.
- Request a structured list of claims, sources, or themes for a brief.
Input tips
- Write a specific research question with the audience, market, or timeframe you care about.
- Turn on source text when you need more context from cited pages.
- Provide an output schema only when you need a structured answer.
- Use Exa Search instead when you need a ranked list of source results.
Expected output
The AI Tool returns a text or structured answer, the final query used, and citation results with source URLs, titles, snippets, highlights, or source text when requested.
Caveats
- Review cited sources before using claims in public copy.
- It produces one answer, not a full research audit.
- Search results and source availability can change over time.
- Structured output schemas must stay valid and reasonably small.
