Exa

Research

Neotask uses Exa through OpenClaw to research the web at depth — company intelligence, people profiles, LinkedIn data, and deep research reports through conversation.

What You Can Do

With 10 actions, Neotask's Exa integration through OpenClaw enables sophisticated web research as part of your automated business workflows.

    Try Asking

  • "Research Acme Corp — give me an overview of their products, recent news, and key leadership"

    • Pro Tips

  • Connect Exa with Close CRM in an app group: when a new lead is created, agents automatically research the company and enrich the lead record with company intelligence.
  • Use deep_researcher_start for comprehensive research on important topics — the async pattern lets agents research in the background while other work continues.
  • Schedule weekly competitive intelligence automation: agents use Exa to research competitor activity and post summaries to your strategy Slack channel.
  • Multi-agent teams excel at research synthesis: one agent runs Exa searches, another extracts key facts, and a third writes a structured briefing document.
  • Enable approval gates on linkedin_search_exa to ensure people research is used appropriately and aligns with your organization's data use policies.
