Introduction

In this guide we'll walk through the process of linking Cerb to Exa. You'll be able to use Exa's full API as an LLM tool for when you don't want or need semantic search.

Get a Exa API Key.

Click API Keys in the menu. From there you can copy your default key or create a new one if you wish.

Create the Exa service in Cerb

Navigate to Search » Connected Services.
Click the (+) icon in the top right of the list.
Select Exa.
Paste the key you copied earlier in the API Key field.
Click the Create button.
