How to find similar web pages with your AI

Connect Exa AI to your agent to turn a single URL into a map of related content. Your AI handles the heavy lifting of finding contextually relevant sites.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find web pages similar to one I already have?

Provide a URL to your AI and ask it to find related content. It uses semantic matching to locate pages that share the same meaning rather than just matching keywords. You'll get a list of new sources to explore.

Where your results land.

The outcomes of your search.

The AI processes your request and organizes the findings into these categories.

CONTENT

New source lists

The AI identifies pages with matching semantic meaning. You get a clean list of URLs that expand your current topic.

CONTEXT

Thematic clusters

The AI groups similar pages together. This helps you see how different sites approach the same subject.

HUMAN

Manual vetting

The AI provides the links, but you decide which ones are actually worth reading. You filter the noise from the signal.

DATA

Refined search results

The AI uses semantic logic to move past simple keyword matching. You get results that actually make sense in context.

The workflow

What your AI does when a URL arrives.

The AI moves from a single link to a broad set of related information.

  1. Analyze the source

    Your agent looks at the content of the URL you provided to understand the core topic.

  2. Match similar content

    The AI finds other web pages that share the same semantic footprint.

  3. Filter by relevance

    The agent uses semantic logic to ensure the new pages aren't just keyword matches, but actually cover the same ideas.

    semantic_search
  4. Present findings

    The AI hands you a list of new URLs to check out.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Does the AI browse the live web itself?

    No, the AI uses the specific tools provided by the Exa AI MCP to access and search the web.

  • 02

    Can the AI visit any website?

    The AI can find and access pages through the search and similarity tools, but it cannot bypass paywalls or login screens.

  • 03

    Will the AI change the content of the pages it finds?

    No, the AI only finds and reads the pages. It cannot edit or modify any external websites.

  • 04

    How is this different from a standard Google search?

    Standard searches rely heavily on keywords. This uses semantic matching to find pages that mean the same thing, even if they use different words.

  • 05

    Can the AI save these pages for me?

    No, the AI only finds the URLs. You are responsible for saving or bookmarking the links it provides.
