Exa Core Workflow B — Similarity, Contents & Answer

Overview

Secondary Exa workflow covering three endpoints beyond search: findSimilar (discover pages semantically related to a URL), getContents (retrieve text/highlights for known URLs), and answer (get AI-generated answers with web citations). These complement the primary search workflow in exa-core-workflow-a.

Prerequisites

• exa-js installed and EXA_API_KEY configured
• Familiarity with exa-core-workflow-a search patterns

Instructions

Step 1: Find Similar Pages

import Exa from "exa-js";

const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY);

// findSimilar takes a URL (not a query string) and returns
// pages with semantically similar content
const similar = await exa.findSimilar(
  "https://openai.com/research/gpt-4",
  {
    numResults: 10,
    excludeSourceDomain: true, // exclude openai.com from results
    startPublishedDate: "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    excludeDomains: ["reddit.com", "twitter.com"],
  }
);

for (const r of similar.results) {
  console.log(`${r.title} — ${r.url}`);
}

Step 2: Find Similar with Contents
