Essential Patterns
Company Search
from exa_py import Exa
exa = Exa()
results = exa.search_and_contents(
"AI startups in healthcare series A funding",
category="company",
num_results=20,
text=True
)
for company in results.results:
print(f"{company.title}: {company.url}")
People Search
results = exa.search_and_contents(
"machine learning engineers San Francisco",
category="linkedin_profile",
num_results=20,
text=True
)
for profile in results.results:
print(f"{profile.title}: {profile.url}")
Websets for Lead Generation
# Create a webset for company collection
webset = exa.websets.create(
name="AI Healthcare Companies",
search_query="AI healthcare startups",
category="company",
max_results=100
)
# Monitor for new matches
exa.websets.add_monitor(
webset_id=webset.id,
schedule="daily"
)
Category Reference
| Category | Use Case | Index Size |
|---|---|---|
company | Company websites, about pages | Millions |
linkedin_profile | Professional profiles | 1B+ profiles |
personal_site | Individual blogs, portfolios | Millions |
github | Repositories, developer profiles | Millions |
Common Mistakes
- Not using category filter - Always set
category="company"orcategory="linkedin_profile"for entity search - Expecting structured data - Exa returns web pages; parse text for structured fields
- Over-broad queries - Add location, industry, or role specifics for better results
- Ignoring rate limits - Batch requests and implement backoff for large-scale collection
- Missing domain filters - Use
include_domains=["linkedin.com"]for profile-only results

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study.

embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
