According to 1M AI News monitoring, the AI search engine Exa has launched a Monitors feature that allows developers to set scheduled search jobs. Search results are automatically deduplicated and then pushed via a Webhook, returning only the new content since the previous run. Exa’s search API is used by companies such as Cursor, Notion, AWS, and Databricks, positioning it as search infrastructure for AI agents.

Monitors supports custom search frequency (as short as 1 hour). You can specify a structured JSON output format via the outputSchema parameter, such as automatically extracting fields like company names, funding rounds, amounts, and more, or you can choose pure-text summaries. In addition to scheduled triggering, it supports manual on-demand runs and offers three integration methods: Python, JavaScript, and cURL. Typical use cases include tracking competitor developments, monitoring funding announcements in a specific domain, and following up on academic paper publications.

Previously, AI agents mainly gathered external information by proactively calling search APIs. Monitors shifts this pattern from on-demand querying to subscribed push updates, so agents can continuously receive incremental information without polling.
