AI search startups are blowing up

Yesterday’s big news was Google’s plan to blow up its traditional Search in favor of an AI-powered experience — but Google isn’t the only company planning for the next generation of discoverability.

This morning, Bloomberg has news of the Andreessen-backed Exa Labs, which has raised $250 million against a $2.5 billion valuation to go after the same market. And it’s part of a wave of startups all chasing AI search, which has quietly become one of the most attractive targets in consumer AI.
