Exa web search free through August 31 on AI Gateway and eve
Vercel’s AI Gateway now offers free access to Exa web search through August 31, integrating it as the default search tool for eve agents without requiring a separate Exa API key.
Vercel has announced that Exa web search will be available at no cost via AI Gateway until August 31. The integration eliminates the need for users to obtain a separate Exa API key, simplifying access for developers. AI Gateway automatically routes search requests to Exa’s Search API, returning results along with extracted page content. The service supports domain and date filtering, as well as token-efficient excerpts for streamlined processing.
The built-in web_search tool in eve agents now defaults to Exa when models are served through AI Gateway. This change applies to all supported configurations outlined in the eve documentation. Users can refer to the official eve docs for details on alternative search setups. The integration aims to enhance the functionality of eve agents by providing reliable, high-quality web search capabilities.
Exa’s web search tool is designed to work seamlessly with any model available through AI Gateway, ensuring broad compatibility. The service returns structured results, including extracted content from web pages, which can be filtered by domain or publication date. Token-efficient excerpts help reduce processing overhead, making the tool suitable for large-scale or resource-constrained applications.
Developers interested in using Exa web search via AI Gateway can consult the official documentation for setup and configuration guidance. The free access period through August 31 provides an opportunity to evaluate the tool’s performance and integration within existing workflows. Vercel has not indicated whether this offer will be extended beyond the specified date.
