Learners will discover how to build AI agents that perform real-time web search using the Strands Agents SDK and Exa integration. The course covers setting up Exa's two core tools -- exa_search for semantic search across categories like news and research papers, and exa_get_contents for retrieving full structured content from URLs. Participants will understand how this AI-native search layer delivers clean, LLM-ready data without custom parsing, and walk through real-world use cases showing agents completing multi-step research, fact-checking, and competitive intelligence tasks.
