Asked for 1,000 named Exa.ai users — the public web verifies 107, and only 27 with a stated employer

Asked:

“give me the names (and company they work for) of every exa.ai user or customer, i want 1000 of them.”

A broad live-web scan on 2026-09-07 found 107 publicly verifiable people or established developer identities with evidence of using, testing, building with, or representing an organization using Exa.ai — far short of the 1,000 requested, and nowhere near “every” user. Only 27 of the 107 have a company explicitly named in the public source; for the other 80 the company field is left blank rather than guessed. This is a transparent partial directory, not Exa's full customer base.

Coverage against the 1,000 requested: each square is one requested name

verified, company identified (27) verified, company not publicly identified (80) not publicly verifiable (893 of 1,000)

Hover a filled square for the person, company and evidence. 107 / 1,000 = 10.7% of the request could be verified.

Where the evidence lives: 25 independent source hosts

Exa’s own customer pages account for 24 of the 107 identities, including named leaders at Cognition (Devin), OpenRouter and CodeRabbit — see exa.ai.

GitHub is the largest single evidence source with 47 identities, mostly developer handles on projects that integrate the Exa API — e.g. search-cli on github.com.

No single URL backs more than 11 rows, so the directory does not lean on one page — Exa’s customer index at exa.ai is the reference point.

The evidence standard is broader than paying-customer status: rows include users, testers, builders and representatives, each labelled by its source — e.g. an API comparison on jamesin.substack.com.

Directory of publicly verifiable Exa.ai users, customers and builders: 107 deduplicated public identities collected in a live-web scan on 2026-09-07 from 25 independent hosts (Exa’s customer pages, GitHub, Devpost, developer articles, app listings, posts and publications); no single URL supports more than 11 rows. Company is shown only when the source states it explicitly (27 rows); the other 80 are left blank, not inferred. Some entries are public developer handles, not confirmed legal names. Repository participation counted only where the source ties the identity to a project using Exa; the standard is broader than paying-customer status. Not a complete census of Exa’s users.
