💻 AI in Startups -- Turning the web into a database 💻 🚨 Listen to our Post Discussion ⬇️ See link in the comments below ⬇️ A new startup, Exa, is revolutionizing the way we search the web by using the tech behind large language models to create a more organized and precise directory of web pages. This approach, called generative search, aims to transform the chaotic web into a database-like experience. 📝 ➡️ Exa's Approach: Unlike other search engines, Exa doesn't just index keywords but encodes web page contents into embeddings, which are processed by large language models to predict the next link. This method captures the meaning of text, not just keywords. 📊 ➡️ Websets: The first consumer version of Exa's search engine, designed for power users who need specific data sets, such as companies or types of people. For example, searching for "startups making futuristic hardware" yields a list of specific companies. 🏢 ➡️ Challenges: The process is slow and expensive, with only about a billion web pages encoded compared to Google's trillion-indexed pages. However, Exa's CEO, Will Bryk, believes this is not a significant issue since you don't need to embed the whole web to be useful. 📝 📚 Source: MIT Technology Review #AI #Data #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #Technology #Business #Future #Futurism #searchengine #generativesearch #Exa #Websets #database #chaos #organization #languagemodels
