Cli Anything Exa
This wraps the Exa neural search API in a CLI that's built for agent workflows, not humans poking around in a browser. You get multi-mode search (fast keyword, deep reasoning), category filters for papers or companies, and content retrieval with highlights instead of full text to save tokens. The highlights mode being 10x more efficient matters if you're chaining this into a RAG pipeline or research loop. It includes an interactive REPL and JSON output on everything. Best fit is when you need an LLM to do live web research or pull current sources during a task, not just one-off searches you could do yourself.
