I'm super bullish on Exa. Not only did I work there briefly in mid-2023 (lore drop lol), but I use their search engine for 20% of my web searches. They don't really feature it bc it's so b2b but it's a valuable part of my workflow. It's here, please try it:…

Huge congrats to @EXA_AI who just raised a crazy $85M Series B at a $700M valuation! I sat down with @WilliamBryk to discuss why Exa is building the search engine for AI, not humans.
