    We pulled up to OpenAI DevDay in a DeLorean.

    Why? Because we built a time machine for the web: 400 billion historical webpage snapshots that let you search the web as it was.

    Pick a date, backtest prediction models, and run RL over data that doesn't change under you. No DeLorean required.

    We're excited to have Shashank Vemuri from Aaru speak on an exciting research project he worked on involving building simulations of human behavior to predict world events with the help of Exa Snapshot.

    Join our head of product Shyam Kumar tomorrow at 10am PT as he speaks live with Shashank to learn more details about his research along with how to run your own leakage-free backtests with Exa Snapshot.

    Introducing Agent Ultra, a step change in deep research.

    Ultra orchestrates swarms of agents to perform exhaustive research and answer questions requiring thousands of sources. Finding more results than Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra, at half the cost, Ultra is the ultimate find-all for comprehensive lists.

    For labs building training data, financial firms doing diligence, and GTM teams analyzing their TAM, Ultra is state of the art.

    We built a time machine for the web.

    Introducing Exa Snapshot: an index of 400 billion historical snapshots of webpages that lets you search as if it's the past.

    Snapshot is already being used for backtesting prediction models, RL at labs, exploring the pre-AI web, and more.
