Use exa-code: Fast, efficient web context for coding agents | Exa Blog
Vibe coding should never have a bad vibe. But it often does because in 2025, LLMs still don't have great knowledge of the millions of libraries, APIs, and SDKs that are needed to write the best code. Today, we're excited to release exa-code, the first web-scale context tool made for coding agents. Given a search query, exa-code returns the exact few hundred tokens from the web needed to ground coding agents with correct information. Early evals show that exa-code is a state-of-the-art web tool for coding agents, owing to 1) Exa's search engine that is built from the ground up for AIs 2) how efficient the returned context is (hundreds of tokens, not thousands). As just mentioned, the philosophy behind exa-code is that web context for coding agents must be extremely relevant and extremely dense. Behind the scenes, we heavily prioritize putting code examples into the context because they're efficient and effective. Here's how the full process works: In this example, exa-code exemplifies h
