Company Research

Tool Restriction (Critical)

ONLY use web_search_advanced from Exa. Do NOT use web_search_exa or any other Exa tools.

Token Isolation (Critical)

Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:

  • Agent runs Exa search internally
  • Agent processes results using LLM intelligence
  • Agent returns only distilled output (compact JSON or brief markdown)
  • Main context stays clean regardless of search volume

Dynamic Tuning

No hardcoded numResults. Tune to user intent:

  • User says "a few" → 10-20
  • User says "comprehensive" → 50-100
  • User specifies number → match it
  • Ambiguous? Ask: "How many companies would you like?"

Query Variation

Exa returns different results for different phrasings. For coverage:

  • Generate 2-3 query variations
  • Run in parallel
  • Merge and deduplicate

Categories

Use appropriate Exa category:

  • company → homepages, gargantuan amount of metadata such as headcount,

location, funding, revenue

  • news → press coverage
  • tweet → social presence
  • people → LinkedIn profiles (public data)

LinkedIn

Public LinkedIn via Exa: category "people", no other filters Auth-required LinkedIn → use Claude in Chrome browser fallback

Browser Fallback

Auto-fallback to Claude in Chrome when:

  • Exa returns insufficient results
  • Content is auth-gated
  • Dynamic pages need JavaScript

Models

  • haiku: fast extraction (listing, discovery)
  • opus: synthesis, analysis, browser automation
