## About

Exa is the search engine for AI. Use Exa to search the web and data sources for code samples, docs, financial data, recent news, companies, people, research papers, and more. Exa is a token-efficient way to search the web.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Exa in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Exa, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills
