Exa and Google Partnership
Exa and Google Partnership
Earlier this month Google released Grounding with Exa Web Search in Private Preview. Last week at Google Next we shipped our Exa Agent as a launch partner on Gemini Enterprise's new Agent Marketplace.
Grounding with Exa on Vertex AI
Grounding with Exa anchors Gemini's responses in fresh web results pulled by Exa at request time. Behind the call, Exa's Highlights model extracts the most relevant excerpts from each page, so what reaches Gemini's context is dense and on-query rather than tens of thousands of characters of page boilerplate.
This matters most where freshness or factual accuracy is load-bearing: news, product data, technical docs, anything that drifts. To get started, enable Exa as a grounding source in your Vertex project, then pass it as a tool on your Gemini call. Setup is in the Vertex docs.
Exa on Gemini Enterprise
In Gemini Enterprise, users can call the Exa Agent directly to run web research, find similar pages, or pull contents from a URL, without leaving their workspace. Under the hood, the agent runs against the same retrieval stack Exa ships publicly, surfaced as a tool your team can already reach.
To get started, find Exa in the Agent Marketplace inside your Gemini Enterprise tenant and add it. No code, no separate procurement.
Exa is ready for business on Google Cloud. If you're building agents on Vertex or rolling out Gemini Enterprise and want Exa in your stack, reach out here.
